Alaska Big Game Hunting

Moose River Moose & Grizzly Hunt
BORDERING A WORLD FAMOUS NATIONAL PARK, this trophy moose and grizzly area, north of the Arctic Circle in the foothills of the Brooks Range, offers some of Alaska's finest moose, grizzly and black bear hunting. The "Moose" River has been labeled a National Wild and Scenic river, and with very good reason. It is perhaps one of Alaska's most picturesque, tranquil and game-rich river valleys.

This area is unique in that it shares a prodigious population of huge Alaskan bull moose with a considerable number of Arctic grizzlies, mountain black bears, wolves and occasionally fine, trophy caribou. You'll find the grizzlies stalking the river's edge and foraging the hillsides throughout the fall, awaiting the opportunity to dine on their favorite delicacies: the carcass of your trophy bull moose or the salmon that frequent the river.

The grizzlies in this area typically range from 7' to 8' and vary in coloration from blond to chocolate. You will generally find mountain black bears ranging in size from 6' to 7' 6" feeding on various species of berries on the alpine slopes in the area. Among the many qualities of this area is that the Moose River Valley acts as a natural funnel for the bull moose during the rut. The moose spend their summers feeding in the National Wildlife Refuges to the south and then travel north, as the breeding season begins, to the Moose River Valley and northward to one of their primary breeding grounds within the boundaries of the National Park.

You can expect to hunt massive bulls with spreads ranging from 55" to 67" that can score in the Boone & Crockett record book! You will usually see between 10 and 20 bull moose during your hunt. Although bull moose are generally the target, a grizzly, black bear, wolf or possibly caribou may be taken as well, provided you have purchased the necessary big game tag(s) and agree to pay the trophy fee.
