Guys,
I have a trip coming up to Alaska and would love to tack on a Black Bear hunt. I know its only a month out but I would love some suggestions near or a short plane ride away from Anchorage. Budget would be somewhere around 3K-4K or less.
Would also like to know what to see up there while im up there as I may never have an opportunity to go again.
Thanks,

Tags alone for non-resident black bear and a hunting license are $450 for the locking tag, plus $160 for the license. Upside is if you don't see a bear, you can get something smaller (so long as it is in season) with the tag. Although, that's pretty much deer, wolf, or wolverine. Seasons depend on what unit you are in though.
I'll leave the who/where to the guys that live down that way though.
As for seeing the state, the vast majority of it will still be snow covered. Denali park won't be open yet as far as I know, etc. I'll have to put some thought into it.
