I have been offered a guided brown bear hunt for this year. It is on what I have been told is private "native corp" land around the Tatitlek area (at least that is where I would fly into). Would be 1x1 and another hunter/guide there at the same time (Oct 15-26th 2006). The hunt has been described as, per the guide: "A slow hunt where we wait on tide and wind conditions to allow us to access the fish streams without disturbing the country. Accommodations are temporary all weather, heated shelter (a 10x20 tent) on a floating platform nestled in a small cove of an island. You could expect to see bears in the 8 to 9 ft. class. There are a few 10 ft. bears here but they are smart and pretty nocturnal. I have not hunted brown bear from this private land area for the past two years and have the only land use authorization issued for most of the land we hunt. This means that there has been no legal guiding on these lands for the past two years." Price is $11,000 + license and flights, which sounds like a lot given the accommodations and my uncertainty of the area, but the prices for bear hunts keep going up....
Opinions/cautions? What does it mean to hunt "native corporation land", and is the particular area important to know? Feel free to email me. Thanks.
