Alaska Master Guide  George Siavelis has been guiding big game hunts in Alaska for many years (virtually all of his adult life). George lived in the remote Alaskan bush, on a brown bear salmon stream most of his life. It has always been and continues to be a way of life for George. George is now guiding trophy hunts for the big coastal brown bears exclusively. All of his attention and effort now goes into this specialized hunt. (there's more information on this hunt, and these largest of bears a little further below) George has guided for these big bears every year for all these years. If you book a bear hunt with George, you will KNOW that your guide has the experience you want.

Few outfits in Alaska, can provide a better chance at a high quality, FAIR CHASE adventure! That's right, FAIR CHASE ...unfortunately it seems less and less is heard about this aspect of hunting every year. George goes beyond the legal definition of fair chase to what he believes is true fair chase. You can and should be proud to hunt this way.

It would be difficult to find another outfitter that is smaller volume or more dedicated. George contracts and guides very few clients each year. Don't hesitate to pick up the phone and give George a jingle and just ask how many hunters he will guide this year ...you'll probably be amazed how few. Then compare that number to what most outfits usually do. If you're interested in being guided in the field personally by a Master Guide with years and years of experience and reputation, call and see what the schedule is to see if George can guide you personally. George loves to just chat with hunters anyway, so call him and see how they did on the last hunt or what his outlook is for next year, or any other questions you might have...

"George Siavelis is an honest guide. George and his assistants were very professional and knowledgeable about the area & game. I took a trophy grizzly bear, moose, and caribou.

Alaska Brown Bear hunting is the ultimate in North American adventure!

"George is the hardest working guide I have ever hunted with. Can't wait to hunt with him again!"

During the last few years, the focus has been on the fall hunts when the bears are concentrated along the small salmon streams. Consequently, more bears are seen at very close range. In fact, George likes to hunt right on what he calls the "salmon holes", where the salmon congregate, and the big bears are actively fishing everyday. These coastal, rainy areas are lush and rich in allot of other wildlife as well, providing lots of wild animal viewing fun as well.

"I arrived in Alaska with no gear because the airlines lost my luggage. George completely outfitted me, including hunting clothes that fit, raingear, hunting rifle, ammo, etc...Shot this huge bull moose and a nine foot brown bear on my first day. Saw several even bigger bulls each day after that for about 5 days straight !! One or more of them were over 70 inches! "

"George runs a great outfit. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a true Alaska adventure. The guides were great! Everything was well organized and I look forward to hunting with George Siavelis again !"

George has a U.S. Forest Service Priority Use Permit in the Chugach National Forest, Cordova Ranger District. George lived, hunted, and trapped in the Alaskan bush year-round for many years and scouted many areas. George has chosen the best areas that he has found to hunt in. These game management units along the coast are indeed prime brown bear habitat and have very high densities of bears and produce some very large trophies. Recently the Alaska Board of Game has been taking steps to deal with the higher bear populations in some of these areas!

Recently, the hunts have been in early fall, before the bears change their summer fishing habits, when there's still allot of daylight so the bears aren't quite as nocturnal, the weather is warmer, and there is often a few less storms.

"After three hunts in Alaska, this was by far the best one I've experienced. As for George Siavelis, he did everything he said he would. I have nothing to say about him except that he is THE BEST."

"George's honesty, hard work, integrity and the
quality of game made my trip the hunt of a lifetime. The thing that impressed me most of all was his total preparedness for any situation."

"I have hunted with some great guides before, but can honestly say George has no peer, he's the total package!"                            

"I will tell you that my experience with George was wonderful. Initially, I was scheduled to arrive in Aniak on September 14, 2001. However, because of the 9/11 attacks, I was not able to leave for several days. George and I stayed in touch during this entire time, and although not requested by me, George volunteered to extend my hunt to cover the lost time. This was a classy gesture on his part - typical of what I had heard of George and what I would soon learn to be true for myself. In addition to taking a nice grizzly on the first day and 2 Caribou, I saw and filmed wolf, wolverine, porcupines, bald eagles, falcons, ptarmigan, grizzly sows with cubs, a few moose and countless caribou over the course of my ten days spent in some of the most beautiful country on Earth. George demonstrated to me that he will do all that he says and more to make his hunts enjoyable, successful, and his customers happy. If you book any type of hunt advertised by George Siavelis, you'll not regret it."

"George,
Thank's again for a thoroughly enjoyable hunt.  We saw 10 grizzlies, 4 black bear, 6 moose, and a wolverine in one day of glassing from spike camp.  Add that to the thousands of caribou, and we literally saw 'tons' of game.  Yourself, Einer, and Jim did a great job of taking care of us in the bush by being prepared to do whatever was necessary to make the hunt work. Lisa, Jody, and Kiana did a great job of easing us back out of the Bush mentality. I plan to be back hunting with my brothers and fishing with my wife. You run a class operation in the most beautiful country on earth. Too bad we had to go back to work."

Lesson Learned !

  "I have been hunting for about 35 years and this was certainly the finest hunt of my lifetime! The tents/gear were first rate, the food was great, and I thought we saw a good amount of game. I was very impressed with George's ability to organize, coordinate, and communicate. I would give anyone my highest recommendation on George's operation. I hope to hunt with George again!"
