Our success rate is 90%, with an average antler spread of 60 inches, and Bulls have been taken with antlers up to 70 inches in width!!
Bull Moose reach full rut during this hunt, and calling is very effective during both hunt dates. Archery hunters are welcome!!
This hunt is conducted on the Southern Slopes of the Brooks Range, well North of the Arctic Circle, where the Bulls grown tall, massive palms long before they reach 60” of width, making for classic antlers well known for their powerful fronts and palmated brow tines.
This is an excellent opportunity for a multi-species event as hunters frequently have opportunities for Grizzlies, Caribou, or Wolves during the course of their 10 day hunt. Hunters will pay a trophy fee on secondary animals only if they are harvested in addition to their Moose.
Hunting styles are spot and stalk, float hunts, and stationary calling. Accommodations consist of high quality 8’ X 8’ Arctic Ovens and Bomb Shelters with cots. Company owned light aircraft equipped with floats and tundra tires allow access to the best hunting areas and provide personalized support during the hunt.
Trophy Fee Outline
Hunters are encouraged to bring extra tags, as secondary animals are available as an opportunity harvest on any of our hunts. Some hunters are lucky enough to harvest two or three species during a ten day hunt. Trophy fees will be charged only for animals that are harvestedin addition to the hunters primary target species. A wounded animal counts against a hunters bag limit, and incurs a trophy fee weather recovered or not, so please shoot straight!!! Loved ones or friends are welcome to accompany hunters on their trip for an additional cost. An “observer fee” will be charged for each extra person who accompanies the hunter. If observers bring the appropriate licenses and tags, arrangements can be made ahead of time to allow observers to harvest animals on a trophy fee basis.
