I would like to extend an invitation to any one or two fellow Hunt Talk members to hunt coastal blackies in eastern Prince William Sound this spring.
Dates are not firm but the hunt will be around May 10th for up to 6 days.
The hunt will be a drop-off by boat. Tent camping near the beach and glass/spot stalking the surrounding hills. Its likely we'll see bears along the shore but be prepared to hike the hills. These bears are not the beasts of Prince of Wales Island but honest 7 footers are fairly common.
Your costs besides airfare would be:
$85 Non-Res license
$225 Non-Res bear tag
$75 Food/supplies
$40 one nights stay in Valdez
You'll fly to Fairbanks. May 10th is a monday so plan on arriving Sat the 8th. This gives you a day or two to check your zero and get your license/tag and any last minute stuff.
Valdez is a 6 hour drive so we'll head down the day before going out.
You'll bring your personal stuff and I have all the camp stuff already.
Bring good, already broken-in boots, good glass and quality rain gear. May weather is usually good but it could turn to crappola.
If you're serious email me: [email protected]
Cheers
Erik
