Alaska Moose

When considering a moose hunt in Alaska, a prospective hunter should determine their budget and desired adventure type before selecting an area to hunt. While most units in the state are managed by over-the-counter harvest tickets, some draw only permit units are available. The draw areas are usually created to limit hunting pressure, not to manage for trophy-sized moose. Hunters should be able to embark on a hunt that fits their expectations anywhere in the state.

With the rising costs of fuel and insurance, charter plane flights are more expensive than they have ever been in the past. There is no such thing as a “budget” moose hunt for non-locals. The hunt packages offered by licensed transporters will be between $8,000-$15,000 per hunter when they include logistics, fuel, transportation, etc., and a minimum of two hunters is often required. While this cost may seem high for a self-guided hunt, it’s the reality that we now live in for hunting Alaska. Most quality transporters are booking three or more years in advance for drop-off hunts.
