Come with us on an unforgettable adventure in America’s last true wilderness; a place that will test your limits and exceed your expectations. Alaska.
Your host and Guide has over thirty years in the business and says "I believe the words “fair chase” are much more than a marketing slogan. I’ve built my business on it. All of our hunts use traditional spot and stalk methods as well as calling and observing. Our results are proof that the “old ways” still work."

Dall Sheep Hunt

Our sheep camp is located in a remote valley in the Alaska Range. We've been hunting this area for many years; some of our hunters return year after year to hunt this area with us. The sheep population here is good, and is further augmented with other bands of sheep moving into the area to take up residence in the lush, well-watered slopes.

After arriving at base camp all hunting is done on foot out of remote spike camps. The area offers a lot of diverse terrain, and it is possible to hunt ten days here and not cover the same ground twice. Sheep hunting is strenuous, so we urge you to start a workout schedule at least three months in advance. We expect our sheep hunters to be in shape, because they have to go where the sheep are! Be prepared for some climbing- but bring your camera along, too. The view from on top is breathtaking!

You might consider adding a caribou tag, a black bear tag, or a wolf tag to your sheep hunt; all three animals are found in this area, though caribou are not as abundant as they once were. Even so, we occasionally take a nice one in our area. Alaska law allows a hunter to take a caribou on an unused black bear tag, so some hunters just get the caribou tag and are ready for either.

Grizzly can also be added to our Dall sheep hunts. The grizzly population in this area is very good and we frequently see them in August and September.

Float Hunts

Our float hunts put you on a river of outstanding beauty. On a recent hunt, we spotted 11 brown bears, 23 black bears, two caribou, two bull moose, and a porcupine! The river offers good fishing for salmon, rainbow trout and grayling and the scenery is second to none.

The river is a real draw for bears, because of the salmon runs, and it is common to see fresh tracks and freshly-chewed salmon carcasses on the gravel bars.

The float hunts involve camping in tents, and hunting on foot. You’ll need a sturdy pair of hip boots and good rain gear on your float hunt. Be sure to check our float hunt gear list on the gear page, for a complete listing of what you’ll need.

Brown / Grizzly Bear Hunts

The Alaska brown bear is, to many people, the world’s foremost trophy when it comes to dangerous game. The largest predatory mammal on the North American continent, our bears can tip the scales at over 1,200 pounds and stand nine feet tall.

Though the Alaska Hunting Regulations consider brown bears and grizzlies to be the same animal, most hunters do not. We are fortunate to have both kinds in our hunting areas. The smaller grizzlies, averaging about six feet square, can be taken in combination with our hunts for mountain game such as sheep and caribou, for a nominal trophy fee. We also offer hunts specifically targeting grizzly.

Brown bears are abundant in some of our areas, and you have the equally good options of a lodge-based hunt or a float hunt down a remote river. The float hunts put you on a salmon stream, where every night you will camp among fresh bear tracks and stalk the pools and shallows for feeding bears. Hunters opting for time slots later in the season will need to be in good physical condition, in order to climb the mountains for bears feeding in hillside berry patches.

The lodge hunts are a favorite among some of our repeat clients. The lodge features two private guest cabins, a wood-fired sauna, and the main lodge with a kitchen, dining room and a common room with television and a phone. Our power comes from a generator which powers the lights as well. The main lodge overlooks a beautiful lake, and access is via float plane.

Lodge hunts may take place in either spring or fall. The spring hunts feature long, sunny days for the most part. Your day starts with a hearty breakfast in the main lodge, followed by a snowmachine ride up above treeline, where the day is spent glassing for bears that have just emerged from their dens. The fall hunts involve spike camping above treeline, and hiking the river bottom or hillsides in search of bears feeding in blueberry patches.
 

Lodge Hunts

We are located in the Alaska Range and provide our most deluxe accommodations with private guest cabins and Norwegian steam saunas. Here we use rafts, riverboats, and ATV 4 wheelers as transportation to and from the field. From the field, glassing and stalking is the method of hunting. This area borders Denali National Park and Preserve in a terrain of low mountains and boreal forest. Populations of black bear and grizzly are high; caribou hunting is also available for those who enjoy a physically challenging hunt.

Hunts are conducted from the lodge from mid-August to mid October. We also offer spring bear hunts out of the lodge. Of course the advantage of hunting out of the lodge is that you have all the comforts of home within a reasonable distance from the hunting area. This hunt is very popular with couples because it offers privacy in a very comfortable setting.

Our lodge hunters continue to do well on both black bear and grizzly hunts, with increasing numbers of bears being available. This season we noticed a big increase in the number of mature bears over previous years. Bear numbers are on a sharp rise, and we expect the coming year to offer some outstanding hunts. Come on out to the lodge and take advantage of this tremendous opportunity! The fall hunt is typically done using four-wheelers to access the trailhead, and then we hike a short distance into the hunt area from there. We’ll frequently set a comfortable spike camp in the hunting area to take advantage of the prime morning and evening hunting hours. Our spike camps offer access to a beautiful clear-water stream that’s loaded with char, grayling, and rainbow trout. If you end up hiking up this stream, you may stay in a smaller trapper’s cabin for a night or three. The warm, snug cabin offers a couple of bunks and a cooking area, and it’s just the place to be if the weather goes down.

It is possible to hunt both black and grizzly bears on the same hunt in this remote area.
 

Moose Camp

The Alaska-Yukon moose is the world’s largest deer, and one of our most sought-after trophy animals.

Our moose area is a good producer, with the average bull running around 60 inches on the spread. The area is timbered, with scattered lakes, ponds and bogs. It’s ideal moose habitat. Our primary method of hunting this area is calling, but we do some glassing as well. Our moose guides are very experienced, and will adjust the pace so you have a relaxing, enjoyable hunt.

Moose hunters will not need a lot of specialized gear for this hunt, other than a good pair of hip boots. The area has some boggy ground and sometimes you’ve got to go in there after them. That said, moose hunting is not usually a physically demanding hunt, but you should still be in reasonable physical condition to get the most enjoyment out of your hunt.

Once your moose is down, we devote our attention to the proper care of your trophy and the hundreds of pounds of delicious moose meat. Some of our hunters opt to leave some meat behind, and we will make sure it is distributed for you if you so choose. Regardless of how much meat you take home, we can refer you to a local processor who will cut, wrap, freeze and ship it to your door.
