More about us

Our company was established in 2009 and operates in 2 territories.
  • Fully guided Alaskan outfit, with top quality brown bear and moose hunts. We hunt in great hunting areas and take limited numbers of hunters. Our goal is that every hunter that hunts with us has top quality hunting experience. This is truly a once in a lifetime hunt.
  • I was raised in a small Alaskan village called Ekwok. Ekwok is located in the Bristol Bay area along the Nushagak River. Being able to enjoy the outdoors and a living a subsistence lifestyle is something that I have been grateful for and continue to pass on to my children. Whether it is hunting, fishing, checking the subsistence net, trapping, riding my jet boats, hauling wood, or hiking, you can always find me exploring the land and/or the Nushagak River. I’m always out looking for the next best hunting and fishing areas.

About this hunt

Nushagak River: Unit 17 - This river represents one of the most important fishery habitats in southwest Alaska. This pristine area has scattered forest of spruce with open tundra flats and rolling hills. The high river bluffs make short hikes for glassing animals easy. Huge runs of salmon start running up river in early June. Char, Trout, Dollies, and Grayling also fill the river.All five species of salmon spawn in the Nushagak River, which makes it prime in brown bear hunting. Our brown bear hunts take place in Southwest Alaska, in game management Unit 17, on the Nushagak/Mulchatna rivers. There is a 2 brown bear limit for nonresidents, and the season is open on August 20 until May 31. We hunt trophy brown bears in the spring from May 1-May 31. What will you expect on a day of hunting bears with me? We will hunt in the hills and float the rivers and back creeks. The area has the largest concentration of wild salmon spawning in the world, so there are plenty of opportunities to find bears along the river or up in the hills (where they feed on berries). The brown bears that we take will range from 8-10 feet. Our brown bear hunts have high success Experienced Alaskan guides are there to make sure you are getting the most out of your hunting experience We have spring brown bears hunts and fall brown bears hunts every year We hunt in a 2 bear area Use jet boats to increase our range We have comfortable, fully equipped cabins Large, remote areas of state land for hunting brown bear No outfitting pressure Great salmon fishing during fall moose/bear combo hunt

How to get there

Navigation guidelines

Once you reach Anchorage, you will overnight there, and the next morning you will fly out to the village. From here we will jump in the jet boat and head up to camp. On September 16, the plane will fly you from Ekwok back to Anchorage. Before the hunt, I suggest you mail some of you hunting gear to Ekwok so that you don’t have to carry it on your journey out here. After the hunt, you will be able to mail you gear back home.
