Petersburg Alaska Spring bear, May 6th Kill date. PICS & STORY Included now

[RightPlace-RightTime]

I just got a great deal,  Myself and a buddy got a trip planned to head up to Petersburg Alaska to hunt black bear,  Its a self guided deal with the use of boats to get around, and its spot and stock on shoreline bear.  The time we are going is the 3-9 of may.  Anyone have any insight, pics, informations. etc.  Hope to hear from you

I've been up Wrangell Narrows many times running tugs and have seen a few nice bears but I've never hunted that area. You should probably hunt outside of the Narrows as there is a lot of boat traffic in there. I've done most of my bear hunting down closer to Klawok. I have an old friend that has lived in Petersburg for many years. He's a tug captain also and is not home much but if I can get in touch with him I'll see if he will share some of his hotspots.

Who are you renting the boats from? Is it Doyles?

  FIELD CARE. . . FIELD CARE. . . FIELD CARE!  If you are planning to have the hides tanned rugged or mounted.

I am going to be updating this Artical in the next week or so for those going out of state and for those hunting spring bear.

No Doyles.  I checked it out, it seems to be a good deal.  Have you been to Doyles?  Is it a good deal if you have.  Have you hunted black bear up there in Petersburg before?  If so, any pics, stories etc.

I agree. You kill a bear on the first or second day of a 5 day hunt it may not make it. Bring lots of salt and be prepared to do the work.

We are fortunate that when we hopefully go two for two on our Bear hunt there is in fact a taxidermist right there that the lodge offers.  Thats a good thing for us.  :-)

wilderness taxidermy by pristine ventures is a great video resource on field care.....well worth the $$ tis a 3 disc set.
