We had another great year with a 70% success rate for our self-guided moose hunts. For the most part we had good weather and good success throughout the entire season. All our self-guided hunters got out to the field on time or early. We only had a couple groups that did not come out on time due to bad weather. We had 10 groups that were 100%. which is the same as last year, which was a new record for us. It just does not get any better than that. Our guided hunters had 100% opportunity, but we had a couple repeat hunters that were looking for that once in a lifetime bull and turned down multiple bulls and unfortunately had to leave early due to an emergency back home. We are also seeing a large number of young bulls which means we have a very healthy population. Moose numbers have been steadily increasing for the past ten years in our area. For the fifteen years prior to that, we had seen a steady decrease in moose numbers which led to the season for non-residents being shortened from Sept. 5-25 to Sept. 5-20. In 2014,?the season was?reinstated?to Sept. 5-25 for non-residents due to a much higher moose population. Once more we had several repeat hunters that passed up on bulls looking for a monster and we had groups of 2 hunters that only wanted one moose. We also limit the number of hunters we take to keep the harvest down. We hunt the Innoko Wildlife Refuge in western Alaska?and a huge part of the state land?adjoining the refuge. This country is extremely remote and there is no better moose country anywhere. With the population on the increase, it is a great time to plan a moose hunt.?Due to our high success rate and repeat customers we book up fast, so you should plan your hunt two years in advance.
NOTE- Due to Corona virus, there are no sports shows this year. So rather than print a new brochure, we are just adding some 2020 pages and updates and only doing a digital version.
