HUNTING FOR 2008 - 2009

FULLY OUTFITTED Moose Hunt - $4,495 per person
Sept 4 through Sept 15

This hunt takes place in the Wood/Tikchik State Park located approximately 45 minute float plane flight from Dillingham to a large lake located inside the park.

We furnish a complete camp (12X20 weatherport tent), full size cots, propane heat, enclosed cooking area, all the groceries and a camp cook. Meals are first class (three times a day).

You do all the hunting, game scouting, and packing of your harvested animal from place of kill back to base camp.

There will be a 8 foot Zodiak with motor available for scouting from the lake and transporting game back to camp if needed. There is good fishing in the lake during the day or when ever you desire, including Arctic Grayling, Lake Trout, Dolly Varden Trout, and Arctic Char. Fishing can be done from the shore line or the Zodiac on a limited basis.

The camp will handle up to 5 hunters and they will share hunting areas and Zodiac around the camp and lake. The lake is 55 miles long and 6 miles wide. There has been very few camps in this area in past years.

The new pending world record bull moose was taken two years ago at 84 inches.

The Alaska state average harvest for moose by non resident, non guided hunters is approximately 15%. Our camps have been approximately 50% depending on the the condition and skill of the hunters.

The season begins Sept 5 in this area and runs for 10 days through Sept. 15. We like hunters to be in Dillingham early on Sept 4 so they can get camp setup and ready for the hunt.

The above price includes air transfers from Anchorage to Dillingham and to camp round trip. Also included is transfer of all meat, cape and antlers back to Dillingham. At Dillingham we include a sheltered place to bone out your meat and turn over the meat you want, your cape and antlers to a freight forwarder for shipment home. Since 911 you can no longer ship any parts of your kill via commercial airlines. If you choose to donate any part of your meat to local natives it can be arranged.

You will be responsible for any overnight stays and meals in Anchorage or Dillingham depending on your airline connections. You will furnish a non resident hunting license and moose tag. Black bears frequent the area and can be taken without a guide if you choose to furnish a black bear tag. This is a self guided hunt, a registered guide is required for brown bear hunting so hunting for brown bear is not allowed on this hunt. On some years there are also limited caribou in the area.

This is not a guided camp!!! You rent the camp, buy the food and hire the cook. This is for your convenience so you can enjoy more time hunting or fishing with only limited camp chores. All this is part of the package price listed above. Meals are first class with most hunters commenting they have never had better meals in a hunting camp.

We also have a non guided caribou hunt available similar to the above moose hunt either in the Mulchatna or Kotzebue areas depending on herd populations priced at $3,995.

Wolves also frequent the area and you never know when they might be seen. A non resident wolf tag is available for $50 and you can harvest them unguided.

We can arrange for a fully guided Moose Hunt priced @ $10,000 p/p

We can arrange for a fully guided spring or fall Brown Bear hunts @ $15,000 p/p

We can arrange for a fully guided Caribou hunt priced @ $5,500 p/p

All hunts above are subject to availability and prices are subject to change due to air line and float plane rates. The prices above are all calculated on current air transfer rates as of Sept 2007.

It is possible to hunt Black Bear, Caribou, and Moose without a guide in Alaska. A guide is required however for Brown Bear, Grizzly Bear, Dall Sheep, Musk Ox, and Mountain Goat.

I recommend hunters be in good physical shape and condition before attempting a hunt in Alaska. The hunting landscape in Alaska is much more difficult than any other place I've ever hunted. Long distance logistics, lots of water and swampy areas, steep treacherous mountains, and the uneven spongy tundra, etc can make for tough going.

UNGUIDED/FULLY OUTFITTED-SUPER CUB-TUNDRA-DROP OFF

This type of hunt is my favorite for Caribou and is becoming more popular every year. This hunt is usually done by a licensed guide and outfitter who has several contract super cub bush pilots doing most of the flying. A fully outfitted camp is provided including, Cabela's Alaskan Guide six-man tent, stove and propane, lantern, cooking and eating utensils, sleeping cots, sleeping pads, folding table and chairs, good drinking water, dish soap, towels, a good menu of food, cookies, candy bars, and some soft drinks. Guests are flown from Anchorage by air charter to Port Allsworth. Super cub pilots then pick you up and transfer you into the field for a tundra drop-off wherever the Caribou migration will be at the time of your arrival. Camp and food will be awaiting or flown into you that day. You'll have plenty of time to set up camp as it is against the law to fly and shoot the same day. A flag system is explained to you so everyday when pilots fly over they can tell what your situation is. A green flag means everything is great with you. A yellow flag means you have meat ready to fly out or there is some problem and you need help. A red flag means you have a medical emergency. If the Caribou migration changes you will be moved to another location. A second Caribou is possible, but would require another non-resident tag and $500 for an extra meat, cape and antler haul. Upon returning to Port Allsworth meat and cape are prepared and boxed in airline approved shipping boxes for flights home. Rubber pieces are taped on all points of your antlers for approved airline freight requirements. You are then loaded into a charter flight back to Anchorage for your return home. This hunt is well organized and performed. There is a weight limit on personal gear of 50 lbs and you will be charged $3 a pound for any personal gear over 50 lbs (not including your hunting weapon and carrying case). It's not difficult to meet the 50 lb. weight limit since you don't have to pack a camp and groceries. New Regulations for Non-Resident hunters require caribou hunts to be concluded by Sept 15th in this area.

Rates for unguided/outfitted Tundra Drop off hunts from Port Allsworth (Lake Clark)

Trophy Caribou 6 days $3,995.00 each

A special charter flight from Anchorage to Port Allsworth is included round trip back to Anchorage with meat, cape and antlers. Because of 911 all meat, cape and antlers must be turned over to a freight forwarder for shipment back to your home base.

OUTFITTED/UNGUIDED OR GUIDED COASTAL SALTWATER BLACK BEAR HUNTS.

These hunts take place from Whittier, Seward or Homer by charter boat that would cruise the shore lines, bays, coves throughout the Kenai Fjords, and Prince William Sound. After a bear is located you can access the shore by small skiff to begin your stock. Meals and lodging are conducted aboard the main vessel or a camp on shore. During certain selected seasons of the year, fishing and waterfowl hunting could be a bonus. Some areas of the Prince William Sound also have populations of Black Tail Deer. If desired a guide could be made available for a coastal Mountain Goat hunt. Prices for these hunts depend on number of hunters with a minimum of two required and a maximum of six and length of stay. Seasons are spring and fall. (Spring is the most popular)

All guides require a 50 % deposit to book your Trophy Hunt and would require final payment 60 days prior to arrival.

General Moose populations and Caribou numbers are being severely impacted by over populations of Wolf packs and excessive Grizzly�s. We therefore encourage Wolf and Grizzly harvest to bring back populations of game for better hunting. Its to bad hunters are being solely blamed for downturn numbers, but we know hunters harvest far less numbers than do predatory rivals.
