HUNT: Alaska Unguided Caribou Hunt
CONSULTANT: Outdoors International
September, 2018
We took a caribou hunting trip of a lifetime booked through Outdoors International this past September, 2018.
We did the Alaska caribou hunt out of Kotzebue, Alaska and couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Our main goal was spending time together….Dad, sons and son-in-law. In addition, we are all die-hard hunters and we were all able to fill our tags. The whole trip was very organized by the outfitter. Not only did she answer a lot of questions leading up to the hunt, she made sure everything was in order when we arrived and then all the way through the trip. We couldn’t have asked for more.
The float plane ride out with our pilot was amazing and since my son is training to be a helicopter pilot, he quickly bombarded him with lots of questions and it didn’t take long to find out he has over 22,000 hours of flight experience…..we were in great hands. The flight alone was worth the trip.
The tents, cots and gear were brand new, we had tons of food and we were in a perfect spot on a lake and river. The warm weather made the hunt a challenge and kept the caribou from doing a lot of moving but we hunted hard and covered lots of miles, killing 2 of our 4 bulls at the very end of the hunt 3 soggy, nasty miles from camp. What a blast!
My only regret is that I got nervous at the end and shot a small bull and then in the last few hours of the hunt my son-in-law shot a really great bull and he was accompanied by another big bull that just danced around out on the tundra after the other bull was down…I guess he knew I was tagged out. Overall it was an awesome experience and we are already planning our return trip! Oh, and did I mention the fishing was great? We caught lots of grayling and lake trout to top it all off.

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
