Southeast Alaska : The Final Frontier
There’s no better way to explore the wild Alaskan coast than with your own personal guide and a floating base camp. Located near Juneau and British Columbia, our Sitka-based outfitter provides legendary boat-based hunting adventures along the coast of the ABC Islands. A 65-foot vessel offers the comfort of a private stateroom and the ability to reach remote areas.
Brown Bear
Cruise the shoreline in a 14-foot skiff, glassing and waiting for the wind to turn. Disembark and make your way on foot up streams choked with spawning salmon. In this vast, unspoiled region, it’s common to encounter 20 to 30 brown bears during a 10-day spring hunt. Expert guides and a large population provide an 95% success rate, with many bears squaring over 8 feet.
Black Bear
Southeast Alaska offers some of the largest black bears in the world, with many exceeding 7 ft square. Your personal guide will help you harvest an ideal bear with no rubs.
Fishing
Our expert guide also offers adventure fishing trips in the summer months of June, July and August. Freshwater, saltwater, or a combination of both, you’ll enjoy the best of Alaska’s unmatched ocean and stream fishing. Private staterooms and fresh seafood, including crab, provide the highest standard of comfort.

North Alaska : Caribou Adventure
The world’s finest caribou hunting can be found in Alaska’s beautiful Western Arctic. With over 20 years of guiding experience, our Kotzebue-based outfitter has been achieving nearly 100% success for years, and recent herd growth has allowed Alaska's Department of Fish and Game to authorize two caribou per season to non-resident hunters.
Your adventure begins in September, with the start of the fall migratory cycle and onset of the rut. Bulls, antlers fully developed, shed their velvet and join the herd. Groups of several hundred become common, each with several bulls of exceptional quality. Your guide will help you identify and harvest the finest trophy.
With most caribou harvested within two miles of camp, peak physical condition is not required for a successful hunt. In fact, Caribou often wander through camp, and the noise of nearby herds may wake you during the night.
Outfitted hunts – unguided expeditions with equipment. Just bring your personal gear (weapon, ammunition, knives, clothing, sleeping bag, etc), and we’ll provide the rest.
Fully Guided Hunts – We provide all camping gear and food. The guide will help with cooking, meat and antler care.
Drop hunts – unguided, non-outfitted expeditions. You provide your own food and gear, and we’ll provide transportation to/from a prime hunt location and expert advice.

| Caribou | Kotzebue | 4-6 days/Sept | $1,950.00 | Drop Hunt |
