Alaska Caribou Hunts
Alaska Caribou, Nomads of the North!
We have Guided hunts for Moose, Brown & Black Bears, however we only offer unguided fully outfitted hunts for Caribou. Over the years it has been the highest success rates for our hunters, 100%, in Alaska. Generally, most hunters are skilled enough to experience an unguided Caribou hunting trip without bearing the higher cost of utilizing a Guides assistance.
Alaska Caribou have large, concave hoofs that spread widely to support the animal in snow, wet bogs, and soft tundra. Alaska Caribou are strong swimmers and their feet are very useful as paddles when crossing rivers and lakes. Alaska Caribou are the only member of the deer family in which both males and females grow antlers. The antlers of adult bulls are large and massive.
The antlers of cows are a stunted version of the bulls and are slender and irregular in shape. As late fall comes so does the change of an Alaska Bull Caribou’s color from mostly brown to a white-necked mane with a whiter rump, white feet leggings, and white body side stripes. The weight of adult bulls averages 300 to 350 pounds or more.
Alaskan Caribou in Northern Alaska are generally smaller than Alaska Caribou in the Interior and in Southern parts of the state.
You can also enjoy excellent Sport Fishing during this hunt for a variety of Alaska Sport Fish. Depending on where you are placed by the bush plane, you may be able to catch Rainbow Trout, Arctic Grayling, (Char) Dolly Varden, Burbot, Northern Pike from the lake you are dropped off at.
