ALASKA’S KODIAK BEAR HUNTING GUIDE
Greg Acord – Alaska Bear Hunting Guide
Greg’s guiding career on Kodiak Island began in 1988 when he began guiding Kodiak Bear hunters in Olga Bay with Scott Mileur, for the legendary bear guides Bill Pinnell and Morris Talifson (Last of the Great Brown Bear men).
The experience and knowledge gained while living with and learning from the best bear hunters of all time has proven to be a priceless gift that influences how Greg conducts his hunts today. Greg is a trained woodsman and professional hunter; he is qualified in all phases of trophy hunting. You cannot find a guide that will work harder to find you the trophy of a life time.
