Our Alaska moose hunting season is September 5th-15th for non-residents. We use alot of cow calls, bull grunts and brush thrashing to bring the bulls in. While hunting, we use jet boats to access all the back channels, swampy marshes, and also ridge-tops for glassing. When calling moose, it could take up to three days to call in a bull. There is nothing like hearing those bulls call back and come thrashing the brush to your call! The bulls’ antlers in this area have an average of 60 inches, but in the last few years I’ve been taking bulls that have an antler spread of 65-70 inches. Most of the moose we harvest we call-in within 60 yards.
Here is a typical day of moose hunting with me:
We wake up 5-5:30 a.m., eat breakfast, and drink coffee. After, we head out to call moose at first light. We hit all of our calling spots until about noon, then we head back to camp for lunch. After lunch, we can either go fishing or take a nap. We have supper around 4:30 p.m. and leave camp by 5:30 p.m. to hit our moose calling spot unit dark.
Moose Hunts: $30,000

Travel:
Once you reach Anchorage, you will overnight there, and the next morning you will fly out to the village. Moose hunters will fly from Anchorage to Dillingham first, pick up your moose registration permit at the Fish and Game office, and then fly to Ekwok where I will meet you. 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.
Hunting Deposits:
The standard payment is 25% deposit down for hunt. 25% January 1st and the other 50% payment is due 60 days before the hunt. These hunts are non refundable but you can find another hunter to take your place.
