Western Alaska Yukon Moose Hunts
We provide Guided Alaskan Yukon Moose hunts on remote upland river systems in Southwestern Alaska. We use durable aluminum Jon boats with jet drive powered outboard motors which enables us to access backwaters, sloughs and shallow water systems to hunt bull moose in the rut.
We have comfortable basecamps on the river system for our client’s to hunt out of. With the use of the Jon boats, it provides the ability to hunt a large area and still return to one of these camps every night. This provides a great way to moose hunt while enjoying the creature comforts that a basecamps offers.
Having exclusive access by float plane to this remote area in the Alaskan wilderness coupled with a good population of mature Alaskan Yukon bull moose provides a productive great hunt. We are the only Guide/Outfitter in this area that operates on these rivers and streams in this fashion. The jet drive outboard motors provide a major advantage over an outboard motor with a prop. They enable access to the shallow upland river systems with the numerous oxbows and backwater sloughs created from decades of the rivers ever changing channels. These are the kind of areas that bull moose prefer once they start rutting and searching for cow moose to breed. For those who are not in the prime of their life or may have physical disabilities the use of our Jon boats and Argos for transportation in the field, is a great way to provide access for them hunt for moose.
Give us 6 inches of water and a chain saw to cut through old logjams and we can get to places never hunted in decades. Besides using jet-powered jon boats to get around on the rivers we use Piper Cubs, Argos or ATV’s to access the surrounding mountains & valleys. This way we can glass and hunt the higher mountain valleys, alpine meadows and open country for Alaskan Yukon Moose, Barren Ground Caribou, Alaska’s Brown/Grizzly Bears, and Black Bears.
Our main base camp is located at the only deep and straight stretch to land a plane on floats within the headwaters of this remote river system. It takes around 2½ hours to fly from Anchorage to reach our hunting area.
We use DHC-2 De-Havilland Beavers with wingtip fuel tanks to safely reach these distances. The significant remoteness undeniably gives Hunters an additional opportunity to achieve success, a great comfort level along with excellent fishing.
The camps have 15′ x 20′ wall tents for common use & dining with ample table fare, large 3 burner propane stoves for cooking meals, a wood stove for heat, hot water showers, generators for power, a refrigerator/freezer to keep food items fresh and an outhouse toilet. Hunters sleep in 6-man extreme weather-type tents on full-size cots with sleeping pads. The base camps have satellite phones for communications and emergency use. Client’s can use the phones to contact love ones. The Guides have video cameras to capture the daily activities, the hunt and actual harvesting of your big game animal for you.
The equipment we have amassed since starting in the Guide/Outfitter Profession in 1985 and our remotely situated camps, enriches the hunter’s experience & overall success. Since the Base Camps are right in the heart of our hunting area, we can provide more comfort than normal verses the fly-out type of spike hunts.
There is more than 14 hours of daylight in Alaska at the start of Moose hunting season & over 12 hours on the last days of the season. Long ago we realized the importance of a healthy & well-balanced diet, receiving a decent night’s rest & a suitable hot shower to retain the energy level essential to put in a respectable effort each & every day of your hunt. We have incorporated these ideas into our operation for the many rewards they offer everyone and the overall impact they provide to the experience of these trips.
Our Guide Use Areas for Alaska Moose hunts have the extra benefit of two active Intensive Predator Control Programs authorized by the Alaska Board of Game. In addition, there is another one designated primarily for protecting the Mulchatna Caribou herd, especially during the late spring calving when calves are the most vulnerable to predators. There are only a handful of other Intensive Predator Control Programs currently active on State land. They are intended to correct & restore the predator and prey balance. Having these Predator Control Programs active since 2004 has greatly enhanced the Moose population in our guide use areas and is an across-the-board advantage for all small and big game species in Alaska.
