More about us
Our company was established in 1996 and operates in 3 territories.
- I grew up hunting and trapping here in Southeast Alaska. An old man, Clint Fick, hunted bears with me when I was a boy. He had been a taxidermist, as was his son. It is a nice memory of having learned the details of skinning and detailing a hide from Clint; as he was a patient and skilled teacher.
- The old gentleman guide, Ben Forbes, then hired me to hunt brown and black bears when I was twenty. He was about 80, and I had the privilege to be the new eyes in his operation.
- Now I have been at guiding hunters for 33 years. I like dealing with the animals, and I enjoy to help people fulfill their dreams.
- As one hunter told me last Fall,"You are the outfit I am looking for and can hardly find. You are small enough that you have time for me."
- So I am encouraged by the niche we fill.
- On one side I am a fifth generation Alaskan, on the other side I am part Tlingit Native from the area. This is a rich heritage that has helped me know this place.
- I invite you to enjoy the comfort of our fifty foot boat, a warm bunk, and hearty meals that will make up your base camp. You may hunt the islands for brown bear, black bear, wolf, sitka blacktail, or mountain goat. If you desire the exotic colored sea ducks, they are a free add on to your late season deer or goat hunts; when the birds are fresh from the arctic and in full plumage.
- For the fisherman, we offer fly fishing trips for wild steel head or salmon. Summertime offers saltwater fishing for halibut, rock fish, and salmon.
- We operate by USFS special use permit from Petersburg. We are located in the heart of the intricate Alexander Archipelligo and surrounded by the Tongass National Forest.
- Our thirty three years of guiding in Southeast, Alaska has shown us that small parties of two to four sportsmen lends to greater successes. Let our experience be the key to your next great adventure.

About this hunt
If you ever wanted to climb the wild Alaska ridges, just you and your guide, glassing over large goats that have little or no concepts of people; then this is the trip for you. First, our top of the line bush pilots will float us down in a pristine lake with their Beaver, Cessna 185, or Super Cub. Next a large base tent will be your hub and place to leave a clean set of long johns. This coupled with comfortable/light spike tents allows us to go where needed to set your sights on a big billy. The goats in our area are large bodied and have aggressive horn growth. This August trip offers sixteen hours of daylight , with an average temperature of 55 degree F., and is the first trip of the goat season. Our average billie has over 9" horns and will weigh in on the hoof at #300 plus. It's not unusual to get an old timer with 10" horns and our largest was a 11 1/2". You will want to be able to climb alpine and mountains all day long. Your weapon and body are the keys to success on this trip. I suggest starting early to get in shape. Doing Kettle Bell swings and hiking with a pack on are the best way to ensure that when you see the "old man of the hills"; that you will be able to get to him. Let our experience be the key to your great Alaska hunt. I tagged my first billy thirty two years ago and have been guiding twenty nine years. Tags are over the counter too, to top it all off!

Excellent hunting experience
Got a Nice Bear
The trip was unique, took me some effort to get the bear. We saw many bears every day and just waiting for the right one. Food on the boat was a lot better than I thought. Guides are very kind and helpful.
No signal the whole time! And I don’t like the rain.
Sitka Deer Alpine Hunt
True trophy hunt with highly knowledgeable and capable outfitter/guide and packer. Full "whatever it takes" effort on their part. Likeable and "easy-to-be-with" personalities. Respected my hunting skills and worked hard to accommodate my personal limitations. Targets mature good-to-great trophies. Very remote.
Had hoped we could have secured air transportation to spike camp; without that, it was a very challenging ascent (and descent), really beyond my capability relative to age/fitness. Need to be in "sheep shape" for this hunt, my bad. If you can handle the physical exertion, it's a great hunt opportunity to get a world-class trophy.
