Alaska Black Bear Hunting, From Danger to Darkness
from:Alaska Black Bear hunting, especially in the southern southeast is noted for its high quality, abundant Black bear harvests. So much so that Boone & Crockett, Pope & Young, and Safari Club record books list many bears harvested from this area.

He wanted to set up a coalition of dedicated conservationists and sportsmen to provide leadership needed to address wildlife and wild habitat issues. Their Fair Chase statement was the first outlining a code of conduct and ethics for sportsmen, which became the foundation of the game laws in effect today. Alaska Black Bear hunting is conducted under these strict rules.
Pope & Young, is another interesting record keeper for hunters as well. They're dedicated to the preservation of the bow hunting heritage and North America's Wildlife. Scores for harvested animals are entered not to honor the hunter, but to honor the animal. You can find Pope & Young Club measurers in just about any State or Province by searching on the Net. Alaska Black bear hunting outfitters welcome bow hunters or rifle hunters on any of their expeditions.
Safari Club measurers, although available in both the US and Canada are a little harder to find in Canada. The Safari Club International is recognized as the leader in protecting the freedom of the hunt and promoting wildlife preservation on a worldwide basis.

Alaska Black bear hunting clients who have taken a trophy animal sizeable enough to be in the trophy record books is usually more than just pleased with their hunt.
