HUNT: Unguided Moose Hunt in Alaska
CONSULTANT: Russ Meyer | Outdoors International
September 16 – October 1, 2018
We decided to take this once in a lifetime hunt with my dad as a present to him as he was finally retiring after working for the same company for 35 years.
He had always dreamed of an Alaskan moose hunt and we couldn’t wait. We left our small homes and eventually found our way to Bethel, Alaska for our dream hunt. The weather there was foggy and the weather had been bad for numerous days, leading to multiple groups waiting to get out into the field. This allowed us to spend the night in Bethel and have to delay our hunting by a day.
Once we finally made it out into the field, it was numerous days of rain and wind, with some occasional breaks in the weather.
We had numerous yearling bulls come in over the next few days, but no “trophies” that we wanted to take. Eventually after a few more days, we found a trophy, but a river separated the two of us, and we decided to hold off. The weather turned bad again and we had little success. Eventually the outfitter offered us a move, which we gladly took for a change in scenery, and the scenery here was breathtaking.
The next day, our luck quickly changed, with multiple nice bulls being seen we made our move.
My dad was able to take a nice bull, just over 47 inches wide. The work to get his taken care had now began. After multiple trips that night we decided to get the rest the next day. On our final load on the next day, we saw on the other end of our lake, another amazing bull.
After a run through the water, muskeg, and up a hill, we made the shot to kill our second bull in less than 24 hours. After much work and effort, he too was ready for transport. And we couldn’t have finished soon enough. The outfitter was on his way to get us the next morning. And just like that, with our flight home from Alaska, the hunt was over, but the memories keep going on!

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
