Brown Bear / Grizzly · State-by-state

Brown Bear / Grizzly hunting regulations.

Brown bears (the same species as the inland grizzly, Ursus arctos) reach their largest body size on the salmon-fed coasts of Alaska and Kodiak Island, where mature boars can exceed 1,500 pounds. Inland grizzly populations across the Northern Rockies, Northwest Territories, and Yukon are smaller (400-700 pounds for boars) but still represent the largest predator most North American hunters will ever encounter.
