Our self-guided moose hunters over the years have enjoyed 50% to70% past success in most years with many fine trophy Bull Moose being harvested.

Our self-guided and fully-guided moose hunting success has been lower in some years due to warm weather or hunters that are not tough hard enough, do not hunt enough, do not hunt from sunrise to sunset or that give up and end their hunt before the scheduled pick up date.

When we experience a very warm moose hunting season the foliage is thick, the moose are hard to see and the Bull Moose are not active, thus making it hard to be successful. Adventures In The Wild nor our hunters have any control over the weather or the the lack of activity by the moose. This is a simple fact of life and why our sport is called hunting and not called killing!

A lot of Bull Moose are spotted each season that do not have four brow tines on atleast one side. Many of these bulls may have racks measuring between 50" to 65" or more, however, most self-guided hunters do not shoot these bulls as they do not know if the bulls are legal or not. Later during the same hunt, in far to many cases a second big bull with four brow tines on one side is shot by someone in the group, it is then that far to many hunters realize that the Bull Moose they passed up in the beginning of the hunt was more than legal based on the antler size of the second bull that they harvested. This really hurts our overall self-guided success rates each year that future hunters are looking at.

A bull that was harvested by one of our self-guided hunters measured 67" and yet it only had three brow tines on one side. Many Bull Moose over the years that had only two brow tines and were harvested measured 50" to 55" making even those bulls legal.

We invite you to come to Alaska and enjoy one of our "Extremely Remote Fly-In Moose & Big Game Hunting Adventures" that "You'll Remember for the Rest of Your Life".

Enjoy the Great Outdoors with Family & Friends!
