We hunt mainly in the Alaska Range and Talkeetna Mountains. There are healthy populations of Dall Sheep, Moose and Bear. The weather is variable with temperatures ranging from 15 to 65 degrees. . Most people fly to Anchorage or Fairbanks to start their hunt. Upon your arrival plan to spend one night in a hotel before your hunt begins. This allows you to rest and take care of any last minute preparations. We will help you arrange transportation from there to your staging point which will be Talkeetna for most bear hunts and Healy for sheep, moose and some bear hunts. Once there we will take care of final preparations before flying to your camp on the first day of your hunt.

Getting to your hunting camp usually involves a bush plane flight. You’ll be in in Alaska’s big unspoiled wilderness, with few signs of people, fantastic scenery and game.

Camps are comfortable and typically equipped with wall tents, wood stoves, gas cook stoves and lights, cots, food, cooking equipment, etc. Remote cabins are used on some hunts. Hunting will be challenging and strenuous. Once we reach camp we hunt mostly on foot. I like to help my clients gain a greater appreciation of all aspects of the hunt, the game animals and the beauty of their surroundings.

We hunt Dall Sheep in August and September. These sheep live in some spectacular country and we always see plenty of them along with other wildlife. On some sheep hunts we may overnight at satellite spike camps between stays at a base camp. For more information about our guided Dall sheep hunts, see the Dall Sheep Hunting page.

Moose hunting is in September. We normally use spike camps located near timberline as well as river float trips to hunt moose. We will spot and stalk moose from a hillside that offers the best vantage point. Calling bull moose works well also. Find additional info on Alaska moose hunting on the Moose Hunting page.

We hunt Brown/Grizzly Bear in both spring and late fall. We start around April 1 when there is still snow on the ground and the bears are just coming out of their winter dens. At this time of year the deep snow makes it easier to spot and track them. This is also a good time to find the big males. We offer bear hunts through mid June. By then the snow has melted and the majority of bears are on the move looking for a mate. In the fall we hunt along the salmon spawning streams where bears concentrate to feed, or on the open tundra where they can be spotted from a long distances. Black Bear are common and we hunt them in May, early June, August, and September. Find more information about our guided Alaskan bear hunts on the Bear Hunting page

Caribou hunting is by drawing permit for non-residents. It is possible on some combination hunts. Call or write for details.

Our big game hunts are guided by experienced licensed guides. There will be one guide per hunter who will be with you for your entire hunt, unless other arrangements are made in advance. We have good healthy populations of all of the above mentioned species, and we get consistently good trophies every year. I obey the game laws and I stick to the principles of Sportsmanship and Fair Chase.
