Description

Fully Guided 11-day spot and stalk moose hunt, this hunt is conducted during the rut. We usually see multiple bulls. You are the only client in camp (you will have a packer on hunt with you at all times as well)

What to Expect

From the logistics standpoint. You will fly into Anchorage, where you will be picked up by either an A-Team Outfitting representative or one of the shuttle van companies we utilize and taken to an Air BnB in Willow, Alaska. The next morning you fly out of Willow (via wheel cub, or cub on floats) and into the hunting area. Since you cannot hunt the day you fly, once at camp you will spend the day setting up camp, glassing for moose, and coming up with a game plan for the hunt. Most of our hunters have their moose killed by the 4th day of their hunt since we only hunt during the rut. You should expect to sleep in 10x10 or 12x12 "base-camp tents" (you will have your own tent) You will be eating an array of homecooked meals and freeze-dried foods. You can expect to hike very little at most 2 miles with us we try our best to bring those moose to you. (typically we climb up to a vantage point, and spend the day glassing and calling) After the moose is downed we spend 1 to 2 days packing the meat, hide and skull out of the field, we are required by law to get all the meat out of the field first before the trophy (NO EXCEPTIONS!) after the meat has been secured and exfiled from camp, we can hunt bears, wolf or wolverine on a trophy fee. (see pricing section)

After The Hunt: Your meat is then flown back to town where we have a walk-in cooler to keep the meat preserved while you continue your adventure. We will take your hide(s) and skull(s) to "Arctic Wolf Tannery" In Anchorage, they do a lot of work for us and this is by far both the fastest and safest way to get your animal tanned, packaged, and shipped to either your home or your taxidermist of choice anywhere in the world.

Most hunters take 50 - 150 lbs of meat with them after the hunt, Usually packing it into a cooler frozen (we use "fish boxes" found at most local stores) rather than making it a checked bag for their commercial flight home. Again, since it's a Class-C felony to waste editable game meat in Alaska Any meat not taken by a client will then need to be "transferred" to us via a "Meat Transfer Of Possession Form" This then in turn makes the unwanted meat our possession, our staff uses what we can from the harvested animal, and then we donate the remaining balance of meat to local organizations like homeless shelters, or people in need.

Weapon Details

We HIGHLY recommend a minimum of a 300 Win Magnum for any large game hunting you may do.

We will preach to you about the use of bonded bullets! Moose and bear can soak up lead! These rounds stay together very well (over 90% weight retention)

We also will take out archery hunters for moose if you are interested in that reach out! We tell hunters that if they're comfortable and accurate shooting a bow at 60 yards we can typically get a shot. Note: You can and should bring a rifle as well, or borrow the guide's gun if needed.

Handgun hunters need at least a 44 Magnum, and they must be using bonded bullets as well.

Muzzleloader Hunters need a rifle that is at least .50 Caliber in size
