Black Bear hunting in the Crow Pass Area

[armymp71]

Looking into hunting the crow pass are mid to Late September this year. I was going to rent the Forest service cabin and spike out from there. Does anyone have feedback from this are on the bear population? Also, any regulations preventing me from hunting this area? The Forest service webpage says hunting is tightly regulated but I am not sure what they are refering to. Any words of wisdom here would be a great help.

Thanks,

Rick

I'm not sure where exactly the area open for hunting is around there, but there are a couple of very large black bear on the Girdwood side of Crow Pass.  I mean huge.  More likely than not, garbage criminals running amok in Girdwood.... :-)

Even in mid to late September if you hunt close to the trail, you'll likely have a lot of company from berry pickers and people hiking the trail over to Eagle River.

You need to talk to the Fish and Game folks at 333 Rasperry Road to get all the regulation info.  From the base head south on C street until you cross the railroad tracks, turn right at the signal and right again into the visitor parking. They have a big reception and public information area as you enter the main door.  I think some of the hunting close to town and within the Anchorage borough has quite a few regulations to observe.

Good luck.
