We hunt the big Alaska-Yukon Moose on the Alaska Peninsula on our private native land hunting concession in the heart of big moose country near Katmai National Park and Preserve, one of the best areas in the world to hunt big trophy bull moose.
The Alaska-Yukon Moose are the largest subspecies of moose within North America. In this area, trophy bull moose exceed 60” plus antler spread. Nothing can get your heart rate to jump faster than seeing a moose, standing over 6 feet at the shoulders and weighing 1,600 pounds, being enticed by your guide’s call and raking during the rut. We have one of the largest hunting concession on the Alaska Peninsula for moose in prime moose habitat. We manage our concession for the best trophy quality and overall moose population for our clients. Hunts are conducted from comfortable base camps and spike camps near prime moose habitat, river drainages and marsh lands. Hunters should plan on doing a lot of glassing from strategic locations. In most areas, we use ground blinds to protect clients from harsh inclement weather on the Peninsula and do spot-and-stalk hunts from there. We also do backpack style hunts near elevated areas overlooking meadows and drainages where moose bed and graze. Guides spend a lot of time calling during the morning and evening to entice big bulls. We often call moose that we do not even know are there. During the right conditions, our guides can effectively “blind call” moose from over 2 miles away, bringing bulls into close shooting range. Seeing a large bull moose come into our call is heart pounding exciting! Like all hunting, finding a large bull requires patience. Method of take is rifle. Clients may upgrade their hunt for Black bear and Wolverine for trophy fees. Wolf is species of opportunity and available at no charge. We provide safe, comfortable, and highly successful trophy moose hunts. Rates: $28,000 per person. Fully guided (1X1), 8-hunt days, 2-travel days, 10-days in field.

What to bring: See Trip Planner, gear list. Reminder, leave rifle hard case and travel clothes bag with air transporter. Packing: recommend hunters pack personal gear in multiple small waterproof bags for easy transport on small air charter planes. Travel: Arrival and departure point is Homer or Anchorage, Alaska, where you will be met at the airport. Clients are responsible for commercial airline travel to and from Homer and air charter service to/from base camp. We suggest you arrive 2-3 days prior to your hunt commencing, to purchase Alaska hunting license, Moose tag, Moose registration permit, any additional hunting gear or personal items you may need. From Anchorage, clients have two options for charter air service to base camp: 1) take air charter service from Anchorage to base camp during high tide. 2) travel by commercial airline from Anchorage to Homer or Kenai (Ravn Alaska) followed by an air charter service from Homer or Nikiski to/from base camp during high tide. We assist clients in coordinating air charter service to/from base camp. Air charter service fees are for passenger seat, 100 pounds of gear, rifle/case, and trophy/game meat during return flight(s). Additional air charter services may be required to transport trophy game meat from the field. Specific location and number of passenger determines type of float plane/wheel aircraft (Cessna 206 or DeHavilland Beaver). Air charter flights have passenger and weight restrictions. You may not hunt on the same-day-airborne. For after hunt and departure schedule, recommend 1-2 days in Anchorage for taxidermy services or expediting trophy from Alaska to taxidermist of your choice, and game meat processing/shipping. We recommend purchasing airline tickets with flexible change policies in the event of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances that may affect your airline travel.
