Our moose hunts give you access to an abundance of trophy size moose in the remote Innoko River area. Moose in this area are allowed to reach trophy size since there is less hunting than in more easily accessible areas. Our moose hunts have been extremely successful for over 30 years and most everyone goes back with a trophy and a lot of meat.
Our lodge located on Reindeer Lake near the Innoko River has solar and wind power, showers, a bunkhouse and a meat house. Stage all your equipment at the lodge before going out, go out and hunt for up to 13 days, then come back for a shower and meat processing afterwards.
The moose hunting we have to offer is outstanding! We have hunted the area for more than 30 years with many many moose to our credit. As always you will see moose every day some small bulls and many big bulls and cows. Through the years the average bulls are running from 58″ to’ 65″ and Trophies up to 71″. Our success rate has been very good. This hunt has been designed for a hunter, the game is plentiful but you have to go out and hunt. Also a good note, some hunters have shot moose next to camp or across from camp. With fifteen days to hunt you can be choosy! We will bring you to a remote camp of choice via boat or plane that will have a good number of moose in the area. You must remember on this hunt you are in some of Alaska’s best wilderness areas left. You are four hundred air miles plus from Anchorage and there are no roads until you get back to Anchorage. Your new road system now becomes the Yukon River with many of its tributaries running hundreds of miles. You have now truly found some of the last frontier country left in America it’s like going back in time 100 years. All types of small game are abundant, along with wolf usually howling and putting you to sleep at night.
