Joe Letarte came to Alaska in 1979 and has been involved in the Hunting in Alaska industry since that time. Joe has a Master Guide license with experience spanning from the Brooks Range to the Alaska Range, and from the Aleutians to most of Southeast Alaska. With knowledge of hunting in such a vast area, it has enabled Joe to select the best game rich areas in the state to conduct his business. Currently, hunts are conducted in three geographically different locations, the Alaska Range, the Yukon River Valley and the Tongass National Forest.

Hunting in the Alaska Range, the focus is on Dall Sheep, Moose, Interior Grizzly, Caribou, Wolf, and Wolverine. This area in the heart of the majestic Alaska Range features broad valleys, sprawling glaciers and abundant game populations that offer quality trophies in an unspoiled wilderness setting.

In the Tongass National Forest, our operations are based out of Yakutat. This is one of the most game-rich areas in the world, hosting large populations of Brown Bears, Black Bears, Mountain Goat and the largest Salmon runs found in Alaska. This coastal wilderness of old-growth Sitka Spruce in the forelands gives way to the Glacier-strewn valleys of the Brabazon Mountains, then rises up toward the majestic St. Elias Range. This mystical wilderness is home to a rare color phase of the Black Bear known as the Glacier Bear only to be found in this area.  Alaska Wilderness Enterprises is an equal opportunity provider operating under permit from the Tongass National Forest.

Our third area of operation is in the Yukon River Valley. This particular area is one of the most remote wilderness areas left on earth. Our concession of 4.3 million acres is one of the largest Black Bear concessions in the world. This wetland is ideal habitat for Black Bear and hosts the largest population of Black Bear found in North America. The cinnamon color phase is quite abundant in this area also, so along with the large number of Black Bear, this allows for a bag limit of three bears per hunter. A good population of Interior Grizzlies also hold claim to this
remote wilderness area.

Black Bear Hunts

Our Black Bear hunts take place north of Fairbanks in one of the most pristine wilderness areas left in North America. Our exclusive use area of 4.3 million acres combined with excellent bear habitat not only provides you with the finest Black Bear hunting in Alaska, but in all of North America.

Black and Cinnamon color phases may be readily taken. Due to no hunting pressure and the remoteness of the area, our bears range between 6’ 8” and 7’ 10”. Hunts are conducted over bait stations or spot and stalk. No better chance exists for bow, handgun, or muzzle-loader success at a truly large Black Bear.

You cannot beat this hunt for the size of animals, the number of animals seen, and the success rate. Multiple bear limits are possible on some hunts.

Fishing is also available upon request.
