Wolfpack Guides

Wolfpack Guides and Outfitter operates as the only registered guide service physically present on Admiralty Island year-round. They offer two primary hunts out of their remote lodge in Pybus Bay, about 75 miles south of Juneau, accessible only by float plane—a scenic 45-minute flight over glaciers and rugged terrain.

Spring (April 29 - May 21) and fall (September 14 - October 6) brown bear hunts take place during peak activity periods.

Spring hunts coincide with the breeding season—expect long glassing hours over grass flats as bears move across the landscape.

Fall hunts run during salmon runs when bears concentrate at streams and rivers. With bear movement highest during cool morning and evening hours, you'll hunt from pre-dawn until dark. Spot-and-stalk style hunting over grass flats and shorelines requires minimal physical demands.

What's Included: - Float plane transport to/from lodge (paid by outfitter) - Lodging with private bedroom/bathroom - All meals (breakfast and dinner) - Wi-Fi and laundry services - 21' enclosed heated cabin boat for hunting mobility - Licensed, experienced 1-on-1 guide

November rut hunts offer the best chance at trophy bucks. The rut begins late October and reaches full swing by early November. Weather ranges from clear and warm to 30°F and snowing—pack layers and waterproof gear.

Deer hunting involves easy to moderate hiking on shorelines, forested areas, and muskeg (open/sparsely wooded terrain deer cross during the rut). You'll leave the lodge around 8am and return between 4-5pm.

What's Included: - Same lodge accommodations and meals - 21' enclosed boat transport to hunting grounds - Licensed guide services - No camping, no boat sleeping

"All of the hunting is done from the lodge, so there will be no camping in a wet tent, and no sleeping on a cramped boat."

The lodge provides warm meals, private bedrooms with bathrooms, Wi-Fi access, and laundry services. Days are long—typical bear hunts leave at 5am and return at 9pm; deer hunts leave at 8am and return by early evening. All boat transport uses a 21-foot enclosed cabin with heating.

Getting There: Fly Alaska Airlines into Juneau (arrive one day before your hunt starts). The outfitter arranges and pays for your float plane connection to the lodge.

What to Bring: - Layered clothing (lightweight base layer + waterproof outer shell) - Warm hat and gloves - Waterproof boots (Xtratuf boots can be provided) - Your own rifle or bow - Alaska hunting license + locking tag (purchase from AK Fish & Game)

"In the State of Alaska, an animal wounded but not recovered, is considered taken game. In the event that you wound a Brown Bear that is not recovered, your hunt is by law over."

The outfitter recommends purchasing cancellation insurance to protect your deposit. Weather delays are not the outfitter's responsibility.
