Kodiak brown bear, deer, and mountain goat hunts with Master Guide Mike Horstman, drawing on more than 40 years of guiding on the island.
Horstman's Kodiak Guide Service is the operation of Master Guide Mike Horstman, who counts more than 40 years of professional guiding in Alaska and has appeared on the History Channel's "The Hunt" and "Mountain Men." He specializes in Kodiak brown bear, hunting exclusive guide-use areas he describes as holding the island's largest brown bear population, and also guides Sitka black-tailed deer and mountain goat.
Horstman books moose, caribou, Dall sheep, and grizzly hunts through partner guides, and offers fishing, wildlife-viewing tours, and cabin and boat rentals on the side. He frames his approach as ethical, responsible bear hunting built on local knowledge.
Background as described by the operator on their own website.
Alaska hunting seasons vary significantly by Game Management Unit and species. Confirm current seasons with ADF&G and book well in advance — quality outfitters fill 6–18 months ahead for peak species. Non-residents must be accompanied by a licensed guide or qualifying Alaska resident for most big game species.
