Barren Ground Caribou Hunt in the Mountains of Alaska

This HFA Endorse Outfitter invites you to hunt caribou in Alaska. Of all the big game animals in Alaska, the caribou represents your best shot at getting a real trophy animal, and even the average caribou appears spectacular to many Alaskan hunters. They truly are very impressive animals. While the barren ground caribou bull rates as one of the most beautiful big game animals in the world, especially when he sheds his velvet, and the winter coat turns chocolate brown with a snow white mane, I doubt any hunter is going to claim that they are possessed of any great intelligence. Much of the difficulty in these hunts comes simply from navigating the terrain, the weather and just finding the game!

The outfitter is encountering fantastic bulls every season but hunters should be aware they are not hunting huge migrations, but rather small resident herds in the mountains. For the most part these bulls receive very little hunting pressure at all which will definitely work in the hunters favor! These hunts are well suited for bowhunters, and pistol hunters, as caribou are in most everyone’s opinion the easiest of all Alaska’s big game. This doesn’t mean that it is okay to be 200 pounds overweight, for even caribou require work.

For this hunt you will arrive in Anchorage, where you can expect one night in the city prior to flying to your base camp in the field. Once in the field will stay in rustic cabin for your base camp, with the option to spike out in Hilleberg tents, depending on the situation. Days start early with a quick breakfast and a hike to nearby glassing locations. Lunches and snacks will be provided in the field and there will be plenty of hiking and moving while you work to locate the right bull. If you find a shooter, you will work with your guide to determine the best stalking approach to make your shot. At the end of the day, you will return to base camp for a meal and some planning for the next day. Once you have harvested, you will make plans to return to Anchorage for another night in the city prior to departure.

You can rest easy knowing the outfitter is going to take care of all the planning for this hunt. They will provide accommodations in Anchorage before and after the hunt as well as plan all of the food and lodging while in the field. They will even pick you up and drop you off directly at the Anchorage Airport for your flights, so no need to worry about any transportation once you arrive. This outfitter has you covered!
