Alaska Hunting Trips: Moose, Caribou & Black Bear

Alaska is the "last frontier", a wild and challenging land where moose and bear roam a vast, untouched landscape. Rust's specializes in flying hunters into these quality hunting areas. The results are impressive: past client's trophies include the #1 Pope &Young world record holder Barren Ground Caribou and the #2 Pope &Young Alaska / Yukon Moose.

Your Alaska hunting trip begins on our dock on Lake Hood, the world's largest seaplane base, at the Anchorage airport. After takeoff, our experienced pilots will fly you 150 miles west into roadless territory, a mountainous area dotted with lakes where both rifle and bowhunters have claimed many exceptional trophies. Here, in the legendary Lake Clark, Mulchatna and Stony river valleys, is where you'll find trophy moose and herds of migrating caribou.

Alaska Moose, Caribou & Black Bear Hunting

Depending on your plans, you can hunt moose, caribou or black bear singly or in combination. Many of the game areas provide excellent opportunities for taking all three, but if you prefer the experience of hunting in two areas, a move to a second site can be pre-arranged. At the end of your hunt we'll return to transport you, your game and trophies back to Anchorage.

Rust's unguided fly-in hunts are the simple and inexpensive way to hunt the "last frontier". Our 37 years of experience guarantee that you'll be hunting in the right place, at the right time. This season, plan an Alaska fly-in hunting trip with Rust's Flying Service and "let experience be your guide"!

Things to Remember:

Baggage is limited to 125 pounds per person. Duffel bags and packs without frames work best.
Small boxes, soft sided bags and coolers are easier to load onto the plane than one large, bulky item such as an ice chest. Use plastic bags to protect gear as needed.
We recommend that half your food be freeze dried. This will help you stay within the floatplane weight limitations.
Please bring soft gun cases. Hard cases may be stored at our facility.
Pack flammables and unloaded firearms separately from other gear. Please note: as a safety precaution, these items must be declared and are subject to inspection.
Meat should be hung in game bags.
Coordinate with companions to avoid duplication of items.
Carry sleeping bags separately.
Help us keep Alaska beautiful! Please bag unburnable refuse for transport back to Anchorage.
