Hello, can anyone/everyone Help me? I would like to Hunt Black Bear in Alaska and I would like to know if there is any public land I can hunt on, for Black Bear? any and all info would be great.

Tons of public land. You have a ton of options all over the state. A lot of the areas that are easily accessible are fairly crowded at certain times of the year. You would have to figure out what area to start from, then work from there as far as access to good hunting areas, how to get there, where to stay, etc. South East Alaska would be a good place to start looking as bear numbers are higher down there. You could check with some of the fish and game dept' s out of Ketchikan, Petersburg and other south east cities.

If I was to plan a black bear hunt in AK, it would have to be in South East, more and bigger bears. I would probably hear for Prince of Wales Island out of Ketchican. Here is a great link to some of ADF&G' s helpfull information:

The rest of the F&G site is full of great information also, do some surfing.

Good luck!
