Typical Hunting: A typical day hunting for Grizzly Bear consists of using snow machines to look for dens and glassing high slopes and valleys..

Your hides and skulls will be taken care of professionally, so you can take them home with you. Please keep in mind that your bear needs to be inspected by the Nome Fish and Game office before you leave. The Fish and Game office is not open on weekend. If you harvest your bear on a weekend you may need to change your return flight to the following Monday evening or Tuesday morning. If you need to make lodging arrangements in Nome check with the Aurora Inn & Suites, the Nome Nugget Inn or the Polaris Hotel.
