Moose Hunt in Alaska

Choosing a trustworthy guide service in Alaska can be a daunting endeavor. This is particularly true in Alaska, where vast dissimilarity in species, hunting conditions, and climate conditions require guides. So a guide familiar with hunting in one area may know nothing about hunting in another region of the state. In addition, the costs involved in Alaska guided moose hunting trips require good huntsman judgment in selecting a guide service.

Taking part in a guided moose hunt involves much more than just showing up with your gear and traveling around hills. You should be aware of it at Guide Camp.

The first day of the guided hunt is filled with enthusiasm. You may or may not be met at a local hotel with representatives of the organization. In such cases, they may be able to sell you the necessary licenses and tags. In other cases, you can buy those stuff at a local sporting goods outlet, or you can pre-order them.

Once you arrive, you'll possibly put your gear in the tent or cabin and take a detour to introduce yourself. Make it a point to meet Camp Cook, and let them know any dietary concerns (this should be mentioned well before your hunt, for obvious reasons). Your guide will help you with the tour around the camp to be sure of the locations of all things to do. 

Next, you may need to do a zero check on your rifle, or you may want to shoot some arrows if you are an archery hunter. Don't worry about the intimidating game with those shots; Alaska law prohibits you from hunting on the day you fly in a bush plane. You won't begin an Alaska brown bear hunts until the day after you take off.

If you're an inhabitant of any state in the USA outside of Alaska, you don't need a guide for most species! Of all Alaska's big-game species, only three require you to take a guide service: grizzly/brown bears, Rocky Mountain goats, and Dall sheep. The rest species are available to you on do-it-yourself hunting. 

If you are a veteran hunter and can handle the Alaskan region independently, you can save many dollars by organizing it yourself. This is the primary advantage of a self-guided moose hunt in Alaska.

A successful Alaskan moose hunt involves much more than just showing off. In other words, you need much, much more than just a place and a way to get there. Although there are undoubtedly easy hunts that can undertake on a day-trip basis, most Alaskan hunting engages a multi-day distal expedition, where access to the hunting area takes an aircraft, a white water raft, a long trek, or all three.
