Moose Hunting
Fall Resident Hunts:
Fall hunts are done in the Beaver at the rate of $2,000 an hour.
Float trips, drop camps, or drop camps on lakes with sport boat and motor.
Bear hunts targeting a salmon food source.
You can consult state or federal biologist for information on run strength and spawning areas.
Cost and terms of moose hunts:
Moose hunt cost is based on a charter price of $2,000 per hour. The payload (clients + gear) for the Beaver is 1200 pounds. Hunt costs are dependent on many factors; aerial survey time, distance flown to hunting site, hunting group’s total weight & number of trips it takes, as well as the number of animals harvested. Hunters should expect to pay from $2,000 to $4,000 per person.
The majority of moose hunters are placed on small lakes where moose have been spotted and the terrain is adequate for walking and hunting and we have some spectacular lakes in the Wood-Tikchik Park for moose hunts.
One option is to go to one of the many big lakes with an inflatable boat and outboard motor, which provides access to a greater hunting area.
Float a river and moose hunt:
You can also float a river and hunt for moose but this is now quite limited for non-resident hunters due to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game(ADF&G) regulation changes. Please see the ADF&G web site for current regulations. We will be happy to give you a price for the float trips.
Call for a quote for the King Salmon, Nushagak, Nuyakuk, and Tikchik Rivers if you are a non-resident. The Tikchik River requires a permit from the Wood-Tikchik State Park, 907-842-2375.
A registration permit for the Nushagak and Mulchatna drainage is required for all non-residents. This permit must be picked up in person by August 31st from the ADF&G in Dillingham, 907-842-2334. We rent inflatable rafts with a rowing frame for $120/day for your float trip.
