Donor: Mike Odin, long-time Alaskan resident, hunter, guide, and SCI life member of Mike Odin’s Alaska Adventures, LLC is donating a 5-day Alaska Trophy Brown bear and Black bear combo hunt for one hunter over bait stations.
Location of Hunt: 100 miles northwest of Anchorage, Alaska on the famed Skwentna River and Yenta Rivers, South of Denali National Park and Preserve.
Dates of Hunt: Hunt is scheduled for August 12 - 16, 2015 or August 29 - September 2, 2015, only. Check with outfitter for alternate dates but space is extremely limited.
Description: Mike hunts trophy Brown bear and Black bear over bait stations. Starting July 1, 2015, Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game is implementing an Intensive Management (IM) plan in GMU 16 for Brown bears and Black bears due to the dense population of bears. Bait stations are allowed for both species. GMU 16 has a two Brown bear limit every regulatory year and three Black bear limit. There is no closed season. Brown bear range from 8 - 9 foot, with an occasional 10 footer. Black bear range over 6 foot. This is a rare opportunity to hunt Brown bear over bait site. Typically, hunters are within 35 yards of these huge bears. Seeing a ½ ton Brown bear up close is a definite adrenalin rush! Don’t miss this great opportunity. Also during this time, silver salmon are moving upstream to spawn in upper creeks and lakes near camp. So, bring your fishing gear too.
Included in Hunt: tent camp accommodations, meals, 1X1 guide service, trophy fees for one Brown bear and one Black bear, field prep., transfer of trophies back to Anchorage, and land use permit. Additional hunters are welcomed at discounted rate of $18,000, and observers for $2,000.
Not included: Before/after hunt expenses, air charter service to/from camp (approx. $1,500 per person R/T using a Super Cub), hunting license (US resident $85, foreign resident $300), Brown/Grizzly bear tag(s) (US resident $500 foreign $650), Black bear tag(s) and harvest tickets (US resident $225 foreign $300), 7-day sport fishing license ($55), taxidermy services, and gratuities. No nonresident tag fees required for wolves.
Upgrades Available: Second Brown bear available for trophy fee of $3,500, and second Black bear available for trophy fee of $1,500. Hunter(s) must have second bear tags in possession. No charge for incidental trophy Gray wolf.

LIVE AUCTION GUIDELINES
Details on all Live Auction items are listed in this Auction List. Live Auction merchandise will be on display in the Live Auction area surrounding the podium. If you require further info on an item or hunt, please contact the donor directly or inquire at the auctioneer's podium before the live auction gets underway, or if present, see the donor at their booth.
Different hunts include or specify different things, such as meals, lodging, transportation, weapon type (rifle, bow, handgun, etc.) available dates, etc. Please read the descriptions carefully. As a general rule, hunting licenses are not included. Some hunts may carry a VAT or GST tax. All stated auction values, as listed in the program, are set by the respective donors. Extras such as license fees, etc., if indicated, are in U.S. dollars.
If you buy a hunt at our auction that the donor fails to provide for you, through no fault of your own, we will make arrangements for a replacement hunt or we will issue you a credit that can be used at a subsequent fundraiser event. If you simply find it inconvenient to go on the dates available, or change your mind for some reason, then it is to be negotiated between you and the outfitter.
PCSCI does its best to solicit donated hunts only from competent outfitters. However, we do not guarantee the quality or success of any hunt purchased at this auction. All of this said, it is important to note that hunts bought at our auction generally go well, with both the donor and buyer being well satisfied.
Any and all modifications and/or amendments made between the purchaser, and/or those acting on his/her behalf, and the outfitter, whether before or after the purchase of an auction item, from that described in the auction description, are deemed to be new contracts between the above parties and not with PCSCI. If there are any issues or concerns regarding the outfitters ability or willingness to fulfill his obligation as advertised in the auction description, it is the purchaser's duty, to immediately notify, in writing, the Board of Directors of PCSCI of said issues or concerns, in order for the board to address the same. Should the purchaser choose to proceed, absent providing proper notification, it is presumed that the purchaser is completely satisfied. Any and all hunting, fishing, memberships, tours or events purchased at the Safari Camp 2014 are not transferable by the purchaser to any other person, persons or organizations and must be utilized by the purchaser. PCSCI reserves the right to modify, alter or change the contents or conditions for any or all live auction items. By bidding, the bidders agree to these conditions and hold harmless the PCSCI.
Upgrading your hunt, while not required, is certainly APPRECIATED BY OUR DONORS. If you do not want to add another animal, consider bringing along a friend. This really helps out the outfitters who are donating and helping the Chapter! With few exceptions, these donors are not wealthy individuals, but rather they donate to help wildlife, ensure the future of our sport, and generate new business for themselves. Please do what you can to help them out.
As usual, an auction item goes to the highest bidder. Though "spotters" are located around the room, it is the bidder's responsibility to make their bid noticed, so don't be shy! Speak up, or stand up to get the auctioneer's or spotters attention. If a final bid for the same amount is taken from two people, the bidding is closed to everyone else except those two people.

Take your copy of the form(s) to the Auction Cashier at your leisure before the end of the evening to pay for your item(s). You may pick up your auction merchandise in the Live Auction area with your validated receipt.All signatures on auction invoices are binding.
