Moose Hunting in Alaska
We fully outfit and supply all of the major equipment and provisions needed to do a DIY Unguided Alaska moose hunt. Enjoy the solitude and beauty of the Alaskan wilderness on this unforgettable journey. Our moose hunts are on western Alaska’s pristine river systems where you won’t encounter hunters from another outfitter. Choose from a 40-mile float for a shorter adventure or for a more in-depth wilderness experience, the 110-mile float which typically takes around 36 hours to cover the distance. Each season we outfit 4 or 5 remote river float moose hunting trips. You will only need to bring your personal hunting provisions. The rafting and camping equipment along with the necessary supplies and provisions are provided for these hunts.
This trip will require a minimum of two hunters to book. While the rivers are Class I, prior rafting experience is recommended for a safer and more enjoyable trip. One float hunting trip begins on a small body of water near the headwaters of the river system. All of our float hunting trips end once you have arrived at our main base camp location.This is the only deep straight stretch on the river and is long enough to land a float plane.
On these trips we strongly recommend you only set up camp two to three times and take your time hunting at these places before you progress further down the river corridor.
Fully Outfitted Unguided DIY River Float Hunt for Alaskan Yukon Moose
The river systems for these unguided Alaska moose hunts have natural meandering courses with many twists, turns, backwater sloughs, and oxbows, providing a prime moose habitat. Due to the shallow water ways of these upland mountain river drainages, they can only be accessed by float plane at the deep straight stretch where our main base camp is located.
Most bulls are harvested near the river significantly reducing the time required to transport your moose back to your campsite. Saving the time and energy on long, arduous pack-outs often associated with drop camp style hunts. This allows more hunting time for your partner to harvest their bull moose too.
