Big Game Hunting in Alaska

Welcome to Alaska Bush Adventures located in Southwestern Alaska

Moose, Caribou, Brown-Grizzly Bear, Black Bear

alaskabushadventures

I came to the great state of Alaska in 1978 to experience hunting big game in the Great Alaskan Outdoor Wilderness, became forever hooked and decide to make the awe inspiring Great State of Alaska home for family and I. After years of awe-inspiring, hunting and fishing adventures, I discovered a region in Alaska that offered tremendous hunting opportunities where no other Guide/Outfitters were operating. In 1985 we started Alaska Bush Adventures, (“ABA”) a small family owned Alaskan Guide and Outfitter Service in a remote and quiet region in Southwestern Alaska.My Son, Ryan and I are both Alaskan Master Guides and our long time employees consists of Registered Alaskan Guides , Roy and Mikewhich have been part of the team since the 90’s. They Together they have decades have of experience in Guiding for Brown Bear, Black Bear, Caribou, Moose and all are experienced in calling and raking for Moose plus the habits of all Alaska’s big game species, which will give you an edge on harvesting these big game animals.

Since 1985, we have operated our Guide and Outfitter Service with seasoned Alaskan Guides, respecting the rules and concepts of ethical fair chase hunts. Offering authentic and unforgettable Guided Alaskan Big Game hunting experiences for Moose, Brown/Grizzly Bear and Black Bear.alaskabushadventures

Our Alaska hunting camps are located within sight of the Alaska Range in the Kuskokwim Valley and its numerous tributaries. Our Guided Clients can hunt from any one of our base camps located on these remote wilderness river systems. The main basecamp is located by the river where you can both land a float plane and then be able to take a fully loaded plane of harvested big game animals and the hunters off the river and back to town. The territory where we hunt, or our Guide Use Areas (GUA’s) is a quiet and secluded region, 250 plus miles west of Anchorage. It takes a minimum of 2.5 hours by a bush plane on floats to reach this area within this part of the wild and untamed wilderness country in Southwestern Alaska. All guided clients will enjoy numerous creature comforts of the well-stocked and maintained basecamps located along the river.

We typically use DHC-2 De-Havilland Beavers equipped with wing tip fuel tanks providing the plane extended flying time to safely reach out to our hunting area and get back to town. The distance from any major community, Alaska’s State F & G Regulations for GMU 19 and the lack of places in the rivers upper mountanous branches to safely land a plane undeniably affords hunters an enhanced opportunity to achieve success and enjoy a significant level of comfort while doing so. Being able to hunt a region in Alaska that has not been over hunted for decades, not having to worry about other hunters ruining your stalk on an animal and no hunting pressure from other hunters in the area, is a wonderful experience.

Alaska has a healthy Big game population of Moose, Caribou, Brown Bear, Black Bear, and Wolves, but in part, due to its size has fewer big game animals per square mile than any other state. They are in general thriving best in remote regions of the state with the type of habitat that is vital to sustain them year round and have not been over hunted for decades due to easy access and being close to heavily populated areas.

Year after year we have learned something new and or a better way to fine tune the Alaska hunting services we make available to our client’s.

Throughout history, robots have both embraced and rejected the act of working with other robots in a collective. While science has shown that collective artificial intelligence helps both intellectual and technological development, it has also shown that some robots really want to just be and think by themselves. How do we harness the benefits of both while avoiding the downfall of each?

What Clients Say?

Les, thanks again for a great Hunt,
Alaska Bush Adventures provided my son Regan and I with a very successful and unique Moose Hunt. On the first day of our hunt near dusk, we stopped by some freshly raked willow brush.

Regan and Joe Luithuy

You and Heath really worked hard for me. I took a nice 55.5in bull on the 3th day. Our hunt with Rick from Fla. and Rob and Bob from Ohio was a great trip.

Walt Moore

This is truly one amazing place and one hell of a adventure, I’ve harvested two amazing trophy class bulls with Alaska Bush Adventures, and going back this year for a 3rd hunt, I’ve hunted many places and this will definitely be the best there is.

Randal Miller

I would highly recommend ABA to anyone looking for an outfitter to provide them with all the necessary gear as well as a great hunting area. It was a great experience and I look forward to using them again.

Todd

My friend and I did a unguided fully outfitted moose float trip the 2014 season through Alaska Bush Adventures.
They were both very willing, able, and helpful in answering our many questions about gear, weather, hunting, etc.

David Pennypacker

I want to start by thanking Alaska Bush Adventures for a GREAT Alaskan adventure. I selected Alaska Bush Adventures after exploring other options and talking with Les on the phone several times.
