10-Day Dall Sheep Hunt (1 client and 1, possibly 2 guides) - Standard 10-day hunt
These are going to be some fun Grizzly Bear hunts! These can be up to 9 days, and we tailor this hunt to your preferences, both in advance and once we're in the field.
For those that want to follow "The Track of the Grizzly," we can spot, stalk, and predator call, both on foot and via 4-wheel Drive vehicles and ATVs as needed.
Or if you prefer, we also have bait stations available, which enhance the already high percentage of opportunities, particularly in the spring. The area we will be in has almost no hunting pressure and consistently contains nothing short of beautiful bears with great hides, a good percentage of which display the desirable "Toklat" multicolor hide pattern. In addition to grizzly, we can also hunt black bears as they’re in season in the spring.
This is a comprehensive package that includes pickup and drop-off anywhere in Anchorage, along with food, lodging, and additional amenities for up to 10 days. Depending on conditions we have the option of staying in various locations, either in tents, an RV, or a small cabin. If the hunt needs to go the full 9 days, we have the option to come in from the field and spend a night or two at a nearby lodge with full amenities at an additional cost of $120 per night. However, this is rare and our clients usually use all their tags well before the 9 days are needed. For example, our fall 2023 hunts were 100% successful.
We will also handle all field dressing of any game taken and will deliver all skins, skulls, horns, and meat to your choice of tannery, taxidermist, or shipping expediter in the area. You can choose to hunt with modern long guns of course, but archery, muzzle-loading weapons, and even handguns are perfectly acceptable provided they are legal for big game hunting in Alaska and adequate to harvest the game you want to hunt, and provided that you can demonstrate proficiency with them beforehand.
Bookings require a 50 percent deposit with the remainder due no less than 60 days before the hunt begins. The deposit is non-refundable, but if you cannot make the hunt we will work with you to the best of our ability to reschedule your hunt in the future.
We can also help you obtain your Alaska hunting license and tags for the game you want to hunt. For 2024 those fees for non-residents of Alaska are: Hunting License - $160 (also covers small game such as coyotes, game birds, etc.) Grizzly Tag - $1,000 Black Bear Tag - $450
2024 FALL GRIZZLY BEAR HUNT- $13,500/ 2025- $15,000
10-Day Grizzly Hunt (1 client and 1, possibly 2 guides) - Standard 10-day hunt
Guests / Non-Hunters can accompany you for $200 per day in the field (if the hunt ends early no charge for the remaining days)
Testimonials: I have hunted with Jerry multiple times and he has guided me twice in Alaska. He is very knowledgeable in the field but also knows how to find answers and keeps up with the ever-changing regulations. The hunting is what brought me to Alaska, but Jerry is excellent at sharing remote spots with gorgeous views, and that is what makes me want to go back.

Jerry is an amazing guide and extremely passionate about hunting. He provided the true Alaska experience and adventure of a lifetime that resulted in a successful hunt. Sheep hunting is physically demanding so the recommended advance conditioning/training helped prepare me for the challenges of hunting in mountain terrain. I highly recommend Track of the Grizzly to anyone who wants to experience the beautiful scenery Alaska has to offer while hunting with a hard-working guide who never gives up!
Erika B. I am a resident of Texas and a recent customer of Mr. Jerry Cates. Mr. Cates would be the owner and operator of Track of the Grizzly in Alaska. This would be my third hunt in Alaska and would say that my experience has only gotten better through the years and last year with Mr. Cates would now be my most memorable! He was highly recommended by a few hunting acquaintances of mine and after further investigation found he met all the qualifications I required for hunting in an area that would be extremely dangerous for any average hunter. After many reassuring conversations on the phone that answered all my questions I eagerly booked a hunt with Mr. Cates. Upon arrival, Mr. Cates greeted me with a reassuring firm handshake and a great Alaskan welcome. Our days in the wilderness would soon prove to me I made the right choice in choosing his services. Through this journey, I learned a lot about the land, the history, and how nature is more than what any picture can describe. Our hikes were very informative as we came across multiple bears, caribou and sheep while discussing their migration patterns in their habitat. Safety was always a topic of discussion before leaving camp, so I always knew we would be more prepared in the event of an encounter with wildlife. A great quality hunt always seems to go by fast. After our hunt, Mr. Cates made sure my return home with my Alaskan harvest would be free of issues. Kindly, took the time and guided me through all I needed to do prior to leaving Alaska. On the flight home, I discussed with many passengers how my exciting hunt went and couldn't wait to return to Alaska knowing my fantastic success was made possible through "Track of the Grizzly".

I went on a 2 week Alaska excursion with Jerry, and I must confess I'm not an avid hunter, I'm more interested in seeing wildlife and scenery, and the only thing I hunted was ptarmigan and I did some salmon fishing. But he did lead me right to them, I bagged my first ever birds, he cleaned them and cooked them too, and we got as close as I wanted to black bears and even a good size grizzly, and I got some amazing photos and we saw some remote places. I'd love to go back if I ever get a chance again.
Jerry is a true outdoorsman, loyal, and just super passionate about Alaska. And he hustles, I don't know where he gets his energy from because he doesn't even drink coffee, you can tell he's just genuinely doing what he loves out there and it motivates him.
