Salmon River Grizzly & Moose Hunt
NORTH OF THE ARCTIC CIRCLE in the rolling hills of the southern Brooks Range is my "Salmon River" Trophy Grizzly & Moose Camp. This salmon spawning hot spot is a fantastic hunt for trophy, Arctic Barren Ground Grizzlies. Over the last few seasons we have had a 100% success rate on grizzly in this area with some of these true, Arctic grizzlies having been in the 8'6" range with some of their skulls pushing 24" B&C! This hunt is unique in that it offers a hunter an excellent opportunity at a big, trophy grizzly as well as the distinct possibility of also harvesting a trophy bull moose in the 55" to 67" range.

Patience is important when hunting these grizzlies which congregate in a concentrated area of the river to feed on the last of the protein rich salmon before early winter sends them to the surrounding mountains and their dens. You can expect to see between five and ten grizzlies during your hunt and some of the encounters and shots have been as close as ten yards so calm nerves and a steady rifle can be quite advantageous!

Trophy bull moose are generally spotted from vantage points along the river and are hunted using the spot and stalk technique, as well as also being "called" towards hunters as the bulls travel the river's edge and meadows in search of cows and the other bulls that challenge them.

On this hunt, a hunter has the option of choosing which animal, Arctic grizzly or bull moose, is their primary objective. The other animal may be hunted provided you have purchased the necessary big game tag(s) and agree to pay the trophy fee upon harvesting a moose or grizzly as the second animal, if you so wish.
