Alaska Caribou Drop Hunt

  • Remote, fly-in, DIY caribou hunting at an affordable price!
  • The key to a successful unguided caribou hunting is to be dropped in front of the bulk of the moving herd. The transporter will do their best to accommodate this.
  • Since this is a fly-in DIY caribou hunt, you can either provide all of the gear and food (most hunters ship it up ahead of time), or the outfitter will rent you the equipment you need and sell you the food you will take.Physical condition is the key, so be in good shape.
  • Fully guided caribou hunts are also available, and should be seriously considered if you aren’t in shape or an experienced hunter.

We think this is the best remote unguided caribou hunt available ANYWHERE! An Alaska caribou drop hunt is a true remote Arctic adventure for experienced hunters looking for a DIY caribou hunting experience.

The vast and open tundra, virtually untouched by man adds to this Alaska caribou drop hunt a true wilderness adventure. In addition to caribou, hunters regularly see grizzly bear, wolves, wolverine, and muskox.

Our Alaska unguided caribou hunts have no hidden costs. The price of the hunt includes airport pickup/delivery, all food, tents, cots, camping equipment (if you choose to go with the outfitted camp package), transport of meat, capes and antlers back to the hangar. The transporter’s logistical support and coordination assures your unguided hunting trip will go as planned from start to finish.

Alaska Caribou Drop Hunt

We’ve sent hundreds of clients on this Alaska caribou drop hunt, and we think it’s the best deal out there for hunters who want a DIY adventure in Alaska.

  • Hunting season is late August through September.
  • Drop camps are placed along the caribou migration route.
  • Our DIY caribou hunters often see hundreds of animals on their drop hunt and others see just a few. Caribou are fickle creatures and these hunts are boom and bust. Don’t believe anyone who tells you different.
  • Trophy class bulls are fairly common, but most hunters shoot what we consider a “representative” bull. It’s up to you if you want to hold out or not.
  • Add a wolf and/or wolverine to your unguided caribou hunt for no additional fee.
  • Ptarmigan are common, and the fishing can be incredible depending on your camp spot.

Our Alaska caribou drop hunt is in high demand, and spots are extremely limited.

OPTION #1:

OUTFITTED CAMP AND FOOD PACKAGE

Bring your own gear or rent camping gear and food from the transporter.

Above the Arctic Circle is no place to skimp on gear! In addition to knowing what hunters will need while in the field, it makes it less expensive to travel on commercial flights. In 35+ years of providing service to their hunters, along with their own Alaska experiences, this outfitter has put together a gear list that provides hunters with not only comfort, but the NECESSITIES of being out in what can be a very harsh and unforgiving environment.

You’ll Still Need to Bring Your Essentials

While the transporter will supply gear and food, you will need to bring your personal gear, hunting equipment, and your preferred weapon. Your familiarity with your own equipment ensures you’re comfortable and confident during your hunt.

OPTION #2:

PROVIDE YOUR OWN CAMP GEAR AND FOOD

If you prefer to bring your own camp gear and food, then this is the option for you. We understand your desire to use the gear you’re comfortable with. We will work with you on selecting which gear you need and provide you with suggestions to get your gear to Alaska. This package provides you with the same logistical support as the fully outfitted package.

Book Your Alaska drop hunt

Be warned though…a DIY caribou hunt isn’t for everyone.

A guided hunt should be seriously considered prior to booking.

These unguided caribou hunts can be physically and mentally taxing. You can, and probably will encounter extreme hiking/packout conditions, weather, delays getting in and out of the field, and even grizzly bear encounters. Being North of the Arctic Circle is tough business. You need to show up in good condition and prepared to overcome issues.

If that all sounds like too much, we do offer some incredibly successful guided caribou hunts as well. In fact, if you have the budget for a guided caribou hunt, we DO recommend that you go that route.

  17. Robyn Keeney

    Overall, we loved the experience of hunting in the arctic circle, but there were a few things that could have been improved. We understand weather is unpredictable, and we were warned about that ahead of time, but a little more info about the decision-making process, and who might go into the field when, would have helped us understand and plan our time better.

  18. Jim Rose

    Overall the hunt was amazing, and we would do it again in a heartbeat with the same outfitter.

My hunt was absolutely top notch.

The outfitter is a fantastic man and incredibly hard working and knowledgeable, there is no doubt he will do everything within his power to make peoples hunts successful and enjoyable. I plan to do it again with him next year for sure.

Wade Zuver

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.

Jesse Neveau

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.
