Am getting lots of requests for info so will list what I know and provide a contact site for HOC.
Hunt runs $3000.00+ tax for the week and includes everything needed for Halibut & bottom fishing while on board. They do suggest a gratuity for the crew if happy with the hunt.
We will be hunting and sleeping in three staterooms with a hunting buddy,[hopefully one that does not snore too loud] on a newer and very nice 60' charter boat.
Homer Ocean can be reached at:

Your actual air fare ?
If you read the great article in the June/July issue? It describes the hunt real well with the exception that ours will be a "Spring Hunt" and the Bear are alot more concentrated on the Tidal Flats as that where the new grass is that they require after hibernation to get the digestive system working again.
I was told that it's not uncommon to take a bear that will square 6' at this time and with a beautiful coat.
We have scheduled our week trying to allow for a possible late spring thaw but still "early enough" to have a great chance at a bear before the season progresses too far.
As you know if you have read the article, all hunts are fair chase...once a bear is sited you the "Hunter" are taken into the beach and dropped off. At that point it becomes one on one with no guide. [ Thats the way I like it !!]
