Alaskan caribou hunts ~ bear hunting ~ moose hunting: Alaska big game hunting

There are 5 recognized sub-species of caribou scattered throughout North America. All Alaska caribou are known as the Barren-Ground sub-species. Barren-Ground caribou are the largest of this species.

Our Alaskan caribou hunts focus on the famous Mulchatna caribou herd, which continues to be a steady producer of big bulls. A quick look through the records book and you’ll see that over 70% of the recent entries have come from the Mulchatna herd, including the current world record.

Some advertisements or television programs you may have seen would lead you to believe that a caribou herd is always together in a large mass, and that caribou migrate every year from point A* to point B*, taking the same route, during the same time frame, every year. While this may be true of some caribou herds, it is not entirely accurate about the Mulchatna herd. My experience has shown that these animals can be found over many thousands of square miles of Western Alaska and sometimes you might see a few, a few hundred, or a few thousand. No doubt caribou travel a lot (migrate), however I have seen them going North, South, East & West at different times, and at the same time, plus their “pattern” seems to change every year. I think its’ fairly safe to say we can all agree on one point about these nomadic tundra dwellers -- they are unpredictable.

While it is a well established fact that our local caribou herd produces more record book entries than any other place in the world, I strongly feel that a trophy can not be judged by just a tape measure. From a trophy perspective, caribou have the most disproportionate antler to body size than any other antlered animal. For example, moose and elk have big bodies and big antlers; deer have small bodies with small antlers. A mature bull caribou will have antlers the size of an elk and the body the size of a mule deer. These are truly magnificent animals, their meat makes excellent table-fare and a shoulder mount looks great in any trophy room!

“My husband and I had a great time hunting with you. Comfortable camps, and you have some very nice Guides & Packers. I’m very proud of my first caribou” - Thank you, Penny B. Idaho

Living as year-around Alaskans within the area of our hunts -- home to the Mulchatna herd -- we have intimate knowledge of this area second to none. Based on years of experience as a professional Alaskan outfitter conducting all of our hunts exclusively in our backyard, and as an active pilot flying caribou surveys, I’m confident we know right where to take you for game, and what techniques we’ll use when we get there.

We do all of our own flying and I consider myself to be a well-seasoned pilot. I have over 15 years of experience and 6,000+ hrs. in a Super Cub flying exclusively in the bush. Also a bunch of fancy FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) ratings that may or may not mean anything to you, but most importantly I have an impeccable safety record that I plan to keep.
