Alaska

Many hunters find it best to plan for at least 7 to ten days when hunting in Alaska. This is due to weather and animal movement patterns. Huge moose and vast caribou herds dominate the landscape in some areas of Alaska. Large numbers of wolves, black bears, grizzly and brown bears are found throughout the state.  The mountain ranges support populations of Dall sheep and mountain goats, and Sitka black-tailed deer. Muskox range over the western and arctic coastal wilderness. However, game densities are lower than most other states and provinces. This makes finding a good Outfitter key to successfully hunting in Alaska.

Talk with your hunting consultant to determine the best areas, Outfitter and times to hunt the species you seek. Purchase reliable equipment, and practice with it ahead of time. Be prepared physically and mentally for tough weather, difficult terrain conditions, isolation, and weather delays… these are all normal. Familiarize yourself with the Alaska hunting regulations and carry a copy with you into the field.

We suggest you listen to this podcast where Russ Meyer talks about his hunting experiences in the Arctic and what he has learned about hunting there for caribou and moose.  It’s especially interesting to hear how he plans his gear and preparation. You should really enjoy this podcast and it’s a must listen if you have ever wanted to hunt in Alaska.
