More about us
Our company was established in 2010 and operates in 1 territory.
- Welcome to AAS, my name is Mike Zweng
- Like many of you my boyhood dream was to wander the mountains and valleys in search of giant bears, majestic moose, and the other great species that this land has to offer. This dream became a reality when I first hunted moose near the Iditarod River many years ago.
- Since that time I have guided sheep in the Tok Management Area, Interior Grizzly Bear, Moose on the Alaska Peninsula, and of course the Giant Bears of Kodiak Island. To be in the presence of these spectacular animals and to have the privilege of sharing the same surroundings is something that cannot be taken for granted and is held sacred to me.
- I am first and foremost a conservationist that is committed to not only leaving no trace on the land, but to also minimize impact to the wildlife that calls this place home. I believe that hunting is an important part of managing wildlife so that all future generations will be able to experience the same opportunities we have today.
- As a good steward of these natural resources it is important to be a part of the system that manages these resources and work with others so they can be enjoyed indefinitely.
- I am a very small operation and only conduct few hunts each spring and fall. Most hunts are guided by myself. If you are looking for personalized service and a small scale operation, you have found the right place.
- Hunting on the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge
- I am fortunate to be the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge special use permit holder to conduct big game guided hunts in Kiliuda Bay. The National Wildlife Refuge is a very special place that allows our hunts to take place in an unspoiled wilderness. Guided hunting is a part of the management of the wildlife present on the refuge and I am proud to part of it. President Franklin Roosevelt created the Kodiak National Wildlife refuge in 1941 to protect Kodiak Bears and their Habitat
About this hunt
Kodiak Island, Alaska has a very good population of blacktail deer. Their numbers fluctuate primarily depending on the severity of the winter, but they are prolific animals and can rebound quickly. Bucks can weigh 200 pounds and are fun and challenging to hunt. Kodiak Island has a long season that begins August 1 and goes until the end of the year. There is also a generous bag limit of three animals. Rates vary depending on the number of hunters in your group, but this is an economical and very enjoyable way to hunt Kodiak Island.

Cancellation
- (AAS) requires a 20% deposit along with this signed contract to reserve your hunt on our schedule. If your hunt requires you to draw a permit in the state lottery system (Bear, Goat, Elk). The balance must be brought to 100% of the contracted price within 10 days of the drawing results being posted by the State of Alaska (if you successfully draw a permit). If you are unsuccessful in the state drawing, all money paid will be applied to the same hunt one year later, and you will be re-submitted in the drawing at the appropriate time.
- If AAS cancels your hunt, we will refund all money paid. If your hunt is cancelled due to circumstances outside the control of AAS, your money will be refunded if you are able to provide another hunter to take your place, and provided that the hunt is able to take place. If you are unable to provide another hunter to take your place, AAS will work with you and attempt to fill your slot and will return your money if we are able to do so. Note that an alternate hunter must be provided in time to be submitted for the drawing, must be eligible to hunt, and all conditions in place for the hunt to take place.
