Moose

Our non-resident moose season runs from September 10th to September 20th. This is the time of the Indian Summer in the Alaska Range, where the country shows itself in a most spectacular fashion. Daytime temperatures can still be in the 60’s F, although most Septembers during that time, we see the first frost. The hunter should set aside 10 days to be in the field, with an additional day to travel from Anchorage to the Stony Mountain Lodge, plus another day for your return trip to Anchorage.

Our typical moose hunt is on a one hunter – one guide basis, with a packer available. We regularly take very respectable trophies from the 55 to 65 inch range, occasionally even larger.

We hunt from comfortable and dry spike camps, mainly by glassing good moose habitat from an elevation such as a ridge or knoll. Please check out our gear list. Everything listed is Alaska tested, and it works!

Grizzly Bear

Grizzly Bear hunting in Alaska is often considered one of the most sought after hunts available. From hunts at the Stony Mountain Lodge, we currently have three outstanding, mature grizzly bears in the SCI record book top ten.

Our very successful bear hunts are ordinarily one hunter – one guide. We base out of warm and dry tents, and we often hunt along salmon streams and mountainside berry patches.

Please allow 10 days to be in the field, with an additional day for arrival and departure back to Anchorage.

As with all our wilderness hunts, please check our Alaska tested gear list to help prepare for the adventure ahead.

Black Bear & Dall Sheep

Are you interested in a true Alaskan alpine adventure, hunting Dall Sheep or Black Bear in some of the most pristine mountains in Alaska? Contact us!

In some cases we are able to accommodate hunters interested in pursuing a black bear after taking their primary game animal. In this case a black bear tag is required.

Hunting License

It is the hunter’s responsibility to purchase a hunting license, and all tags and harvest tickets needed for the hunt prior to arrival at the lodge. This can be done on-line with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

Fees

The Alaska Professional Hunters Association Inc. established the Non-Resident Hunting Preservation Fund in 2004 to help ensure that non-resident hunters will continue to have hunting opportunities in Alaska. The NRHPF is a $150.00 fee per hunter, which will be paid as part of the hunters deposit. Thank you!

Air charter fee round trip to and from the Stony Mountain Lodge is the responsibility of the hunter.

There is a chance to either see or even harvest a wolf while out in the field with us. The hunter does not need a wolf tag in our hunt area, nor is there a hunt fee.
