HUNT: Alaska Caribou and Grizzly Bear Hunt
CONSULTANT: Kyle Hanson | Outdoors International
September, 2021
Our grizzly bear hunt was awesome.
We battled some difficult weather which impacted traveling to the field and the caribou migration, but our guide quickly worked to help us focus on grizzly bear hunting. We were both were successful on the bear hunts which was an awesome experience. Separate from the “hunt” itself, the Alaska hunting experience is amazing.

- How would you rate your trip overall? Brad was an awesome outfitter. Our gear, food, and assigned guide did a great job. With the circumstances due to the weather, it was obvious Brad was trying to make the experience as best as possible for his clients.
- How were your guide(s)? Amazing.

- How was your outfitters communication? Good.
- How physically demanding was your trip? Moderate.
- How would you rate your consultant? Kyle did a fantastic job throughout the year of us planning the trip to actually going on the trip. I probably wore him out with questions on logistics and gear, but he always answered and was very thorough and helpful. He was honest that this was a great Arctic grizzly hunt, and a fair guided caribou hunt and I really appreciated that.

Our hunt was excellent.
We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!
The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
