Self Guided Fixed Camp Moose Hunt Alaska/Yukon Moose Hunting in Alaska
Description
We drop you off on a stretch of river in the "Land of the Monster Moose" where we can take off and land with a full load. You set up your camp and hunt from that spot with a boat and motor provided by us. You can realistically hunt approximately a five-ten-mile radius from your camp. There are a lot of oxbow lakes and sloughs off the river that are excellent hunting, and water is always close, making your packing much easier than carrying moose meat out long distances on your back.
What makes this hunt popular is that you are in one spot on a stretch of river where you can learn it and get to know the moose patterns, find where the moose are frequenting and spend time hunting and calling them. We fly the river daily (weather permitting), so on the fixed camp hunts, when you kill your moose, you can contact us, we will put you on our schedule to pick up your moose as soon as possible and bring it back to McGrath for processing. Having the ability to hunt from one location has many benefits and one is you can hunt all day and come back to a comfortable camp.
Lastly, no hidden fees or trophy fees. We encourage you to purchase a black bear tag as well as harvest up to ten wolves per person.
