Alaska hunting


Some Alaskans will say that "if you aren't spending the hunting season in Alaska, you're spending it in Africa." Alaska is without a doubt one of the most sought after places for hunting enthusiasts, and not without good reason. Alaska is abundant in both land and big-game, not to mention the majestic surroundings of paradise.

The Mulchatna caribou herd that migrates through Southwest Alaska is over 250,000 animals strong, and is the essence of excitement when deciding which trophy bull you are going to take. Of course you will remember an experience like that forever because you will be grinning ear to ear when your buddy snaps a photo of you kneeling in the middle of your monster trophy antlers.

Moose hunting is extremely popular in Alaska, and the meat will have guests coming over to your place uninvited for weeks. A bull moose in Alaska can weigh over 1000 pounds and can easily wield a rack wider than the front bumper of your Chevy Silverado!

Dall Sheep hunts are definitely not for Nancy-boys! Dall sheep demand respect, and you better be in good physical condition in order to claim a trophy on one of these hunts. Hunting Dall sheep in Alaska will definitely yield sightseeing dreams come true.

Need more excitement? If so, you want the mighty Grizzly. This hunt is often tagged with a high degree of danger. It is very important that you find a guide that knows what he/she is doing, and that really goes for all guided hunting. Hunting bear is often on rugged terrain and requires good physical endurance.

There are many other hunting opportunities in Alaska as well. Now that you're ready to come to Alaska for the experience of a lifetime, you will need to plan. Planning is the most important part of your adventure. The Alaskan wilderness can be very unforgiving, and that can get you in a lot of trouble or even dead. Make sure to plan with safety being top priority. Remember the cliché, "failing to plan, is planning to fail."

Good luck and happy hunting.
