My name is Mike “Buck” Bowden, and with over forty years in the business, I believe the words “fair chase” are much more than a marketing slogan. I’ve built my business on it.
All of our hunts use traditional spot-and-stalk methods as well as calling and observing. Our results are proof that the “old ways” still work.
The lodge hunts are a favorite among some of our repeat clients, and these hunts may take place in either spring or fall. The spring hunts feature long, sunny days for the most part
Your day starts with a hearty breakfast in the main lodge, followed by a snowmachine ride up above treeline, where the day is spent glassing for bears that have just emerged from their dens.
The fall hunts involve spike-camping above treeline, and hiking the river bottom or hillsides in search of bears feeding in blueberry patches.
Brown / Grizzly Bear Hunts The Alaska brown bear is, to many people, the world’s foremost trophy when it comes to North American dangerous game. The largest predatory mammal on the North American continent, our bears can tip the scales at over 1,200 pounds and stand nine feet tall.
The float hunts put you on a salmon stream, where every night you will camp among fresh bear tracks and stalk the pools and shallows, or the mountainsides for feeding bears.
Hunters opting for time slots later in the season will need to be in good physical condition, in order to climb the mountains for bears feeding in hillside berry patches.
Black Bear Hunts Black bears are abundant across all of our hunting areas, and we strongly suggest our fall hunters consider purchasing a black bear tag, regardless of which hunt you choose. Our bears sport beautiful coats and average between six and six-and-a-half feet in size. Black bears are frequently taken out of sheep camp and out of the lodge, where they are most often found feeding in hillside blueberry and huckleberry patches.
Alaska Moose Hunts The Alaska-Yukon Moose is the world’s largest deer, and one of our most sought-after trophy animals.Our moose areas all produce well, with the average bull taken having between a 55 and 60 inch spread, with some over 60 inches typically taken each year
If you hunt moose out of the lodge, you may opt for day hunts on foot or you may opt to spend a few nights in spike camp. We have some great spike camps several miles from the lodge, which you will access via ATV and hiking.
Alaska Sheep Hunts Our Sheep Camp is located in a remote valley in the Alaska Range. We’ve been hunting this area for many years; some of our hunters return year after year to hunt this area with us. The sheep population here is good, and is further augmented with other bands of sheep moving into the area to take up residence in the lush, well-watered slopes.
