ALASKA HUNTING TESTIMONIALS

Dave Melber:
For all my life I have dreamed of hunting in Alaska and hunting for inland grizzly. Growing up and watching hunters on TV being transported by small bush planes into the vast wilderness created such an expectation, I wondered if I would be disappointed if I ever got to go? Being a father of six, I knew such a trip might be a once-in-a-lifetime event and you hope and pray you can get connected with the right people to make the dream take place.
As I started trying to select the best guide for this hunt, I got connected with Tony Gutierrez of Hunting Guides and Outfitters. As Tony and I began communications, I knew he was a person with like faith and a person with great openness and integrity. Tony suggested that Rob Hardy would be a great match for what I was looking to do.
Over the ensuing months, I kept in touch with Tony and got to know Rob Hardy which elevated my excitement, and I invited a long-time hunting buddy to do a 2x1 grizzly hunt. We just returned from the first time Alaska experience for both of us. Words cannot describe the experience from the arrival, bush plane flight, and time in the field. While we both were fortunate to be successful on Grizzly, the overall experience made a permanent impact on each of us. Alaska is incredible and being connected with a great guide, wonderful pilot, all together combine for a very fun and memorable time.
Thanks, Tony and Rob for the investment to create such wonderful and cherished memory for hunters enjoying the creation in one of the most beautiful areas in the world!

Paul Chitwood:
My first hunting memory is as a four-year-old boy pulling the trigger on my father's old Browning 12 gauge as I did my best to aim it at a squirrel while he rested it on his shoulder. Other than that hunt, the hunt I just returned from with Rob Hardy will surely be the most memorable of my life. As a family that hands down the passion for hunting like we hand down our passion for our faith and our favorite football team, I was thankful to be accompanied by my 24-year-old son, who, incidentally, took his first hunting trip with me in a backpack when he was only 13 months old. Having him and one of my best hunting buddies along for this trip of a lifetime into the mountains of Alaska no doubt made this trip special.

And Rob Hardy sure didn't hurt. He's been hunting in Alaska for 50 years and, for most of those years, he's been the guide. Rob knows hunting, knows Alaska, and knows grizzly bears. With Rob as our guide, I was able to take the most beautiful golden grizzly bear you will ever lay eyes on. And my hunting buddy was able to take a grizzly bear for the record books.

Don't let the "50 years" of experience fool you. Rob's endurance will challenge the youngest in your group as you try to keep up with him wading the rivers and climbing the mountains! He's the kind of guide you'll count it a privilege to have hunted with. All told, we saw 10 grizzlies. We stalked four, one until 2 am in the never-ending Alaskan summer daylight, and took two.

From our shuttle service from Anchorage, a flight into the mountains with Mike Meekin of Meekin's Air Service, to the assistance of D&C Expediters with the taxidermy work, Rob Hardy took care of all of the details of our hunt by serving us with only the most capable and high integrity partners. Now that I've hunted grizzly bears in Alaska, all I can think about is what I will hunt next in Alaska. Whatever it is, moose, caribou, wolves, or brown bear, I'll be calling on Rob Hardy as my guide.

Alaska 2019 Spring Grizzly Bear Hunt

69 years young and never been camping due to working all my life. I wanted an Alaskan Wilderness Experience and I got one. Met Aaron Barsamian Robert Hardy's licensed assistant guide and Rob at the Valley Hotel in Palmer, AK. I was assigned Aaron because I changed from a 2018 Fall hunt too cold and dark for me to a June 2019 Spring hunt, the twenties at night and eighties during the day and light 24-7. Aaron and I drove to Sheep Mountain where Meekins Air Services is located and met the owner of Blue Ice Aviation who flew us to our camp in a Cessna185, 4 seats with one removed for our gear, which allowed for one flight in from a unique downhill airstrip. Saw dall sheep on the way to camp. Landed about one-half mile from camp, beautiful location flanked by a glacier to the south, a large lake to the north and beautiful snow-capped mountains to the east and west even had cell phone service! Aaron had North Face Mountain tents set up in about 15 minutes each. The camp was set up at the base of a hill where we hiked to the top to glass, mostly morning and evenings. Saw a combination of Moose, Black Bear each day and grizzly Bear 4 out of 5 days, 7 total. We had one unsuccessful stalk where the bear did not come out where we anticipated.

On the fifth day, Aaron saw two bears at about 3,000 yards. These were seen at about nine-thirty in the morning. All the others were seen in the evening. Both bears came off the mountain into a wooded section about 2,000 yards from our location, when they turned to come back Aaron said let's go. We stalked to within 200 yards where I set up my tripod with double gun anchors and waited. Aaron said let the first one go. It was a beautiful white sow but only about 300 pounds. When the second bear came out I shot, bear rolled, got back up, Aaron said shoot it again, I did, bear spun around, got back up, started walking away, shot again, as bear got to edge of woods he turned and waved goodbye. I shot him in the right paw. lol. To make the story short I shot four times, two in the chest heart area, one in the left hip and one paw shot? Now we had one wounded bear and one not wounded bear and I was out of ammo. Lost two extra shells when I packed that morning. Walked back to camp, emptied backpacks got more shells. We waited a few hours then went back to find the bear had only gone about 30 yards and expired. He was a male, about a 6-foot nice tan coat of hair with dark brown legs. Aaron had him skinned out in about an hour. I packed out the skull and Aaron the hide. I will turn the hide into a $2,000.00 rug about one fourth the cost of a full-body mount. Will look good in my log home.

Aaron is a true professional in every respect and hunts many North American Game as well as other countries to his credit with both bow and gun. I enjoyed all 6 days and 5 nights in the field with Aaron and you will too. Since I did not buy a black bear tag $ 3,500.00 because you have to pack the meat out, my hunt was over. Aaron called in Mike of Meekins Air Services who had us out in no time, taking the scenic route over snow-covered mountains, lakes, and glaciers. It was a Wonderful Alaskan Wilderness Experience that I will relive over and over. Take lots of pictures!

Walter S. Stalnaker Weston , WVa. June 2019 Hunt .

I hunted with Rob and his staff in the spring of 2018 for mountain grizzly. Rob provided an excellent hunting area and a comfortable camp. Rob is a great guy to spend a hunting trip with. After a day it was like hunting with a buddy from home. Rob is also very knowledgeable about Alaskan wildlife, mountain ranges and ecosystems which provides for an interesting and informative hunt.

We saw grizzly bears every day of the hunt along with many other animals, including black bear, moose and a lynx. We even watched, over the course of several days, a sow grizzly trying to leave her cubs so she could breed again. Talk about a front row seat to mother natures theatre! After a couple of unsuccessful stalks due to wind conditions we finally made a great stalk on this mountain grizzly and harvested him at 170 yards. The bear scored 25 15/16", what a trophy!

Rob and his staff are true professionals that not only provided a great and memorable hunt, but are just great guys to spend time in the outdoors with. If a great hunt and a wilderness experience is what you are looking for, I would highly recommend Rob Hardy!

Here are a few pics and a video of the nice grizzly I took. He squared 7'4" and had a skull of 23 5/16". In regards to Rob, I can honestly say I'd never consider hunting Alaska with anyone else. He was the definition of a professional and just one hell of a great guy. It's not if I'll hunt with Rob again, it's when!

Thanks,

Robert is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced outfitter I've ever hunted with. He is very professional and a great person to hunt with. We got this beautiful sow on the second day of the hunt. Almost completely blond with white claws. It squared 6'2". A hunt of a lifetime for my self. If I was ever to go back it would definitely be with him as my guide without a doubt.

On the second day of the hunt Rob spotted three Bear's, the last Bear he spotted was heading toward our camp so we decided to come off the side of the mountain and get set up and try to intercept the Bear, Rob was right on the money figuring where the Bear may come out , it ended up being 180 to a 200 yard shot and the rest was history, a man of experience without a doubt, can't say enough, only thanks so much Rob.

Thanks Chris Gillespie (Spring Grizzly Bear hunt)

I was totally satisfied and happy with my guided Alaskan Grizzly hunt with Rob Hardy. It was a real Alaskan adventure and he was a great guy to spend ten days in the wilderness with.

This was my third guided big game hunt and the first one that I count as a really guided hunt. I was in Idaho in 2013 and Montana in 2014 hunting elk and now, from June 10 through June 19, 2015, I was hunting interior grizzly bears with Rob Hardy in the Talkeenta Mountains. This was truly an Alaskan experience.

Rob is a real professional but that is not surprising since he has been doing this for forty years. This was a ten day hunt (you lose the first day and last day when you fly in and out by Super Cub). We flew in from Sheep Mountain and went about forty miles into the interior of the Talkeenta mountain range where we camped near a running creek for ten nights. Rob has his own menu for camp food that he developed over years and it was surprisingly satisfying. It was a one on one hunt and I would not have any other way because it gave me his full attention for learning. We saw caribou, Dall sheep, moose, golden eagles and Ptarmigan daily while glassing for grizzly bear.

On Thursday night while in camp (the last day of my hunt) at about 9:00 p.m. Rob spotted a cow moose and her baby running on the hill parallel to us and being chased by a Grizzly. The moose saw our camp ran directly toward us. The bear was just seconds from getting the baby moose when I yelled at the bear. The bear (a sow) stopped and stood up about 180 feet from me and when she saw spotted me she abandoned her chase and took off back in the direction from which she came. I guess I am lucky the bear did not charge me when I yelled at her. I took two shots from the offhand standing position and missed her. For my third shot, I sat down and took it from the sitting position at 425 yards while she was running fool bore to get away. She tumbled when my 375 H&H magnum round hit but then she just got back up and kept going. These big grizzly bears are tough killing machines and built like tanks.

The bear ran up the hill to a thick willow patch and sat in a gully surrounded by willows looking at us from about 325 yards away. My final shot (8 total) was to her head near her right eye. She went down but we did not know where or if the bullet hit her, if she was dead or still wounded and just hiding so she could ambush us. We had to go in to get her and make sure the job was done.

I was out of ammunition so Rob gave me the three rounds that he had headed back to our camp (which is now about 450 yards back) to get more ammunition and his pack. When he returned, I hiked back to camp to get my gear. Rob now laid out the plan. We now would hike up the mountain above where the bear was hiding and come back down to finish the job. We found her dead. My last shot got her in the head by her right eye.

I hit her five times, missed her twice when she was running and once when she was hiding in the willow bushes/trees. That is when I dialed down the elevation on my scope and got her in the head by her right eye with my last shot. It was about 10:00 p.m. now and Rob still had to harvest the hide. This took him another 2 ¾ hours of none stop work. He then rapped the skull and hide in plastic bags and stuffed them into his pack and we hiked back to camp. Rob's pack weighed something over 120 pounds now plus he had his rifle to carry. I offered to carry his rifle but he declined. He said: "he would feel out of balance." It was about 1:30 a.m. when our adventure ended.

I am attaching a few pictures plus one of a cow and her babies so you can get a picture of what we saved. It made me feel real good to save the baby. Rob's preliminary measurements were 23 for the skull and a height of 7.7 feet. He estimated that the bear was 20 years old by examining her teeth.

Rob Hardy is a great guide and I am planning to go moose hunting with him in September 2017.
