Hunt trophy bull moose and caribou in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska

The western Brooks Range about 100 miles above the Arctic Circle is a great place to hunt moose right now. There are very few wolves, and the moose are thriving. Our outfitter typically averages about 60 inches in antler spread with many old, mature bulls with heavy, impressive racks. Hunter success is usually 100 percent or very close, and you also can a caribou. The caribou come from the largest herd in Alaska, the 545,000-animal Western Arctic Caribou Herd, which is not hunted as hard as the Mulchatna River herd, so there are usually many older, mature bulls.

Rich LaRocco of Hunts.Net got this old bull with unusually twisted brow tines.

Fishing is also excellent for Arctic char, grayling and salmon, depending on the dates you'll be in Alaska. You also might be lucky enough to take a wolf or a black bear. We have worked with this outfitter for many years and have a lot of confidence in his ability to please our customers. He has 35 years of hunting experience in this country and has guided the past 20 years. The outfitter used to have a partner but now runs the operation with his grown sons, who were born and raised in the area. He hunts country so remote that it is accessibly only by airplane. You usually hunt on foot quite close to your camp, and the outfitter has four-wheelers that he uses to retrieve game meat. Hunting is by spot-and-stalk, calling or rattling. Hunts.Net's Rich LaRocco took this hunt in September 2004 and had a wonderful trip, taking a 12- or 13-year-old regressing bull nicknamed Hooknose because of his unusually curved brow tines.

Hunter success	Trophy size
Moose and caribou: most years 100% or very close. Caribou hunting was unusually slow in 2006 and 2007 due to a later than normal migration.	Most mature bull moose are 56 to 62 inches. Best so far was 71 inches. Most years the average bull taken is 60 inches or close. Grizzlies are usually 7.5 to 8 feet with some to 9 feet. Caribou occasionally make book.
	Not included
	license and tags, taxidermy or transportation of meat and trophies to Anchorage and/or the Lower 48, butcher service

Rich photographed this bull on his first hunting day but passed because the rack did not have back tines.
