Description

The hunters have great success leaving with what they came to do. This outfitter does their absolute best in getting you to good hunting areas. Caribou are on the move all the time and we’re awesome at pinpointing where they are during the summer and fall to make for your successful hunt. Areas they will put people in are in the Wulik, Anisak, Cottonwood, Kelly, Cutler, Kugororuk, Nimiuktuk and Noatak Rivers. For moose, we use the Wulik, Kelly, Kugogoruk, Tag, Buckland, Squirrel and Noatak Rivers. The outfitter often don’t know where they will put you until you actually arrive here in Kotzebue. Just come prepared for a successful hunt. Plain and Simple!
