ALASKA PENINSULA
BARREN GROUND CARIBOU
6 DAYS GUIDED $19,500

These caribou are the Alaska Peninsula Herd and even though they are constantly on the move they are not considered migratory. Hunters are flown into spike camps, consisting of 6-man Cabela Guide tents with cots. They are now only hunting their leased land and not state land where there are too many outfitters and hunters. This area produces much bigger bulls with better success.

2025 they guided 16 caribou hunters to 14 bulls.

2024 his 14 hunters killed 11 bulls including 2 over 400 inches and most gross scoring over 360.

     6 day hunts guided 2×1 September 24 to 30 are $19,500 including lodging, meals and one caribou. Fall brown bear hunts take place on odd years, 2027 then 2029, and are $28,000 and a caribou can be added for $5,000.

     Once the hunters are tagged out, they are flown back to the comfortable main lodge, where they can fish for silver salmon, char and Dolly Varden at $350 per day, spinning gear and equipment will be provided, but fly fishermen must bring their own gear.

     Hunters fly into Anchorage and then to Sand Point, approximately $1,200 round trip, where they are met and flown into camp at the outfitters expense. There is a $100 freight charge to fly antlers and capes from Sand Point to Anchorage, and the meat is donated to the natives. All licenses and tags are available on-line and should be purchased prior to arrival at camp. Next available openings 2027. Hunt CU781.
