Caribou Hunts

Unguided Caribou Hunts

Have you dreamed of a float hunt in Alaska?

If so you’re not alone, and although we suggest an unguided drop hunt for caribou, we do have some limited float options as well.

Guaranteed tags, lots of grizzly bears and amazing caribou hunting, most affordable Alaska float hunt for grizzly and caribou that we know of and best of all it is truly a remote wilderness adventure of a lifetime! Last year, on just three hunts, they saw 29 grizzly bears and thousands of caribou. The best thing about this hunt is compared to most, it is very affordable, with a little planning, you can make your Alaska dream combo hunt come true.

Float a river surrounded by majestic mountains up to 4,500 ft. at the start of your hunt and ending up into rolling hills halfway through your 60 mile float. This is a true wilderness hunt in the 3.5 million acre National Petroleum reserve. So needless to say, hunting pressure is very, very limited. The terrain in this area is relatively good for foot travel, with occasional areas of tussocks and swamp.

You can expect to see from 10 to 10,000 caribou daily, with the norm being 20-200. Wolves are relatively common, but you have to be quick and a good shot as they are an elusive animal. The hunt will begin with a two hour flight across the Brooks Range and the Gates of the Arctic National Park. Your fly in day will be spent getting rafts and equipment ready and checking the zero on your weapons. Be prepared to spend a lot of time glassing for bears feeding on the hillsides and for caribou coming through the passes.
