Kodiak Island Hunts
Deadman Bay Bear Camp is located on the southeast end of Kodiak Island about 90 miles from Kodiak city. This bear camp was established in the early 1940's by Master Guide number one, Hal Waugh.
It has over 55 years of Kodiak bear hunting history and has produced many record class trophy bears. Kodiak Island is the only place where Kodiak Bears come from!

There is also excellent hunting for Mountain Goats and Sitka Black Tail Deer. This area abounds with wildlife of various kinds, including seals, whales, birds, sea ducks, otter, beaver, waterfowl, and bald eagles. This camp is located on the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge at the headwaters of Deadman Bay. The camp is made up of several cabins which are quite comfortable. We provide a safe first class adventure with good quality equipment, excellent foods and top notch professional guides. |

Hunting takes place by accessing the hunting area from the bear camp using a boat and by walking. The spectacular terrain starts at sea level and rises to nearly 4000 feet. The low valleys are brush covered with willows, tag alders, and cottonwoods. The mountain sides are brush covered and rise to high alpine country where Mountain Goats are found most often.

Kodiak Bear hunting in Deadman Bay is for Trophy Bears! Our goal is to only harvest large trophy male bears over nine feet in size! These hunts are for male bears only. Kodiak Island brown bear hunting has been managed conservatively by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game since 1978. This type of management has helped produce the best brown bear hunting found in Alaska today. Kodiak Island produces trophy record book brown bears yearly. Three of the top five brown bears in Pope and Young Archery Record Book have been guided by me in Deadman Bay. The world record for SCI taken by an archer was taken in Deadman Bay in the Spring of 2002, scoring 28 13/16 inches. |
