Alaska/Yukon 2025 Moose Hunt

[tap09]

Planning a 2025 guided Moose hunt. Was hoping to get some feedback on highly recommended outfitters. Thanks in advance.

Budget, float vs land, quality of animal you are looking for, any add on animals or just moose?

Budget is around $30k. First option would be land/horseback but not against float either. Really just looking for a quality Moose on this hunt (no add on animals). Thanks!

Alaska - Cabot Pitts hunts the Wrangells.
Alaska - Wade Renfro
NWT - Nahanni Butte/ NWT Outfitters (Jim Lancaster)

Thank you Scott, I will look into all 3.

When I looked into a guided AK moose hunt a little while back these are the ones I looked at and thought they were all great options and tough choice for me:
Freelance Outdoor Aventures
Renfro’s
Hidden Alaska
Tyrrell’s Trail
Dillinger River Outfitters

There are many other great moose outfitters in Ak not mentioned above but this was my narrowed down list and tough choice. Of course the hunts were $7k-$10k less 3 years ago. Most of the good outfitters are booked out 3+ years now but can find a cancellation possibly. Good Luck. AK is a special place.

Thanks! Can I ask who you ended up going with GreyGhost?

Call Don at Macmillan River in the Yukon, his horse camp hunts are as good as they get. Been twice, going a 3rd.

A friend of a family members went with Dillinger River Outfitters a few years back and had a great time and a nice bull. Their prices may be a little higher than $30K, but they will probably end up being who I use if I do a guided AK moose hunt

All of the outfits in the Northwest Territories will put you on a 60+ inch moose

Id call Gana River, if they are not available, then Ravens Throat, then any of the rest.

Arctic red would be another good one

Maybe its been said already, but God’s Country Aviation is killing some very very very nice bulls.

I'm currently speaking with a couple Yukon Territory outfitters. Both mentioned on this thread and think they run good outfits. In doing a little digging, it seems like the Alaska based outfits produce bigger moose (more 70"+). Is that just marketing or is there truth to it?

Thanks for everyone's replies. Took some digging but finally booked a 2024 hunt with Mervyns Yukon Outfitting. Now the wait, ugh!

The wait is dreadful if its your first time. I can only speak to first times cause my first moosw hunt happens this fall and Im going crazy waiting for it to get here. My wife is not a fan of me moose hunting as she has told me.

That should be a great hunt

 

[DKBronco]

Beginning to look into this as well. Anyone have any experience with High Country Alaska?

I guess I’m lucky, I’m going to northern BC next year and she supports me 100% just as long as I bring the meat home. She understands since we can’t have kids I need that adventure. And neither one of us likes eating domesticated meat as much as wild game. So two years worth of work makes pretty good sense for us…..

living in the yukon i can tell you that the +70 are not hidden behind every trees. i would go the farther of local hunters and that will mean avoiding closest of whitehorse hunting areas ...
