Four of us have got together and booked for May23-28th of 2010.  We still have 2 openings to fill with a couple more trad hunters. We are hoping to fill the 6 slots as we don't want don't want HOC to fill the last 2 spots with Wheelie or rifle hunters.

If you read the June - July TBH there was a great article on a bear hunt with HOC.  

We will also be fishing for Halibut when not actually hunting.  For the fishing they supply everything needed.

If this sounds like a hunt you would like to join in on feel free to contact me for details.

Hunt runs $3000.00+ tax for the week and includes everything needed for Halibut & bottom  fishing while on board. They do suggest a gratuity for the crew if happy with the hunt.
We will be hunting and sleeping in three staterooms with a hunting buddy,[hopefully one that does not snore too loud] on a newer and very nice 60' charter boat.

If you read the great article in the June/July issue?  It describes the hunt real well with the exception that ours will be a "Spring Hunt" and the Bear are alot more concentrated on the Tidal Flats as that where the new grass is that they require after hibernation to get the digestive system working again.

I was told that it's not uncommon to take a bear that will square 6' at this time and with a beautiful coat.

We have scheduled our week trying to allow for a possible late spring thaw but still "early enough" to have a great chance at a bear before the season progresses too far.

As you know if you have read the article, all hunts are fair chase...once a bear is sited you the "Hunter" are taken into the beach and dropped off.  At that point it becomes one on one with no guide. [ Thats the way I like it !!]  

TTT for a great trip

id love to make this trip maybe next time

I have been getting PM's requesting on this so am moving it bck up so they can find it
