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 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 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 and Unguided fully outfitted Alaskan Big Game hunting experiences for Moose, Caribou, Brown/Grizzly Bear and Black Bear.
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.
Hunting big game in Alaska is a substantial investment, not only financially but includes spending a lot of time preparing, researching, and planning to find a reputable Guide/Outfitter hunting service for your hunt. Alaska Bush Adventures knows the importance of providing in-depth logistical information to prepare our client’s before, during and after their trip in hopes of ensuring a great Alaskan hunting experience.
We are not a fly-by-night hunting service and we believe action speaks louder than words and that our “hands on knowledge” of the our GUA’s, local game populations and the habitat where you will be hunting is beneficial and relevant in your choice of a Guide Outfitter.
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. Because of the financial investment and what a hunting experience of a lifetime like this represents to you, we encourage you to call us to discuss in detail our services and to better answer your questions.

Our Guided Alaska Moose hunters sleep in 6-man extreme weather-type tents on full-size cots with sleeping pads. The base camps will have an Iridium Satellite phone for communications and emergency use. Clients can use the phones to contact love ones but we ask to keep the call to about 5 minutes. The Guides have video cameras to capture the daily activities, the hunt and actual harvesting of your big game animal for you. Our Guided Client’s will hunt for Moose using Jon boats powered by jet-drive outboard motors which provide a huge advantage when traveling within the rivers shallow branches, ox bows and back water sloughs where Bull Moose are rutting and gathering up their cows to breed.

There are many unknowns for one who has never hunted for Big Game in Alaska. Some of which could be very costly and may ruin your once in a life time Alaskan experience. Just as if we were to hunt in your state, there would be many things we could not even imagine that could make or break our hunting experience there. Even as large as the state of Alaska is, there are many places where some big game species have received a huge amount of pressure and have been over hunted for decades by local hunters and the outfitters who operate closer to large communities.

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?
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.
”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
