Bruce Templeton Alaska Peninsula Brown Bear

Alaska spring brown bear hunting reports all say, “hunting is tough”, but that didn’t keep our brown bear guides from filling our clients tags.

Alaska Black Bear Hunting Report

Harbor of Valdez

Client Review: Alaska Brown Bear Hunting

Brown bear hunting with Pacific Mountain Guides.

Brown Bear Hunting

Alaska brown bear hunting can be very dangerous. This hunt gets super dicey when the brown bear charges the hunter and his guide. “At 20-25 yards I could finally see the charging brown bear clearly, mouth open, teeth exposed,…. the Outfitter yelled, “Shooooootttt” and I shouldered my 7mag and pulled the trigger, “Crack” went the centerfire, I loaded again and pulled the trigger again, the 7 mag barked again and his forward progress was slowed quite a bit….” [Read the rest...]

New Zealand Tahr Hunting

Well I am back home after some incredible Tahr hunting in New Zealand. Certainly Tahr hunting is one of the toughest things you will ever do, but there is something about it that draws you in, and one thing is for sure; you will go back and do it again, as I will.
