“My 2019 moose season was a great one with lots of moose rutting activity. Friends Corey, Deric, Aaron (packer), and I pose with their 60” bull that was called to us as the sun set on day 3 of their hunt. Our second bull was harvested on day 7 of the hunt.” - Rod

Guided Moose Hunts in Alaska

Experience one of Alaska’s most exclusive big game adventures with Rod’s Alaskan Guide Service. This highly personalized moose hunt takes place during the rut—the peak of moose activity—along a remote tributary of the legendary Yukon River in the heart of Interior Alaska. With limited spots and expert one-on-one guidance, hunters can expect close encounters with massive bulls in pristine wilderness. It’s an authentic Alaskan hunting experience designed for serious rifle and archery hunters alike.

Moose Size & Hunting Goals

This hunt targets large trophy bulls, with antler spreads typically ranging from 55 to 65 inches. The area is known for its abundance of moose, with sightings of up to 11 in a single outing. Non-resident hunters must comply with a 50-inch minimum spread or at least four brow tines on one side. The focus is on mature, rutting bulls responsive to expert calling techniques.

Transportation

To access this remote hunting zone, we utilize reliable small bush planes flown by experienced transporters. Once in the area, specially designed hunting rafts are used to float downriver to prime hunting spots—these include back channels, swampy lowlands, and mountain hillsides.

Hunting Methods

We typically spend three days in each location, using proven moose calls to draw bulls in close. Most moose are harvested within 50 yards. Both rifle and archery hunters are welcome, but archers are strongly encouraged to bring a rifle as backup in case close-range opportunities don’t present themselves.

Camp Life

Accommodations include high-quality tents with standing room, cots, and a communal cooking and dining shelter. Two hunters share each spacious tent. The camp operates on a structured schedule, starting with early morning calls, followed by mid-day priming, and finishing with evening hunts. Meals are hearty and downtime often includes grayling fishing in the Yukon’s clear waters. Impressively, about 90% of moose have been taken right from camp.

A Typical Day At Moose Camp

Rise at 5:30 AM for coffee and a light breakfast. We call for moose around daylight. As the sun rises we move to vantage points to watch and listen for moose responding to the call. Many times we will have moose near camp that responded to calling the night before. We usually eat a hearty brunch after the morning hunt. After brunch we head out to call during midday to "prime the area" for the evening hunt. This is also a prime time to fish. The river is filled with Rainbow Grayling. We eat an early dinner and we’re back out to call and watch/listen for responding moose. This is our normal schedule, but we have had moose walk into camp while cutting wood, eating breakfast, or during all hours of the day or night. We have harvested 90% of our moose from camp.

Update:

Due to an extreme snow and ice event in Dec 2021; wild moose numbers have dropped significantly. Rod’s Alaskan Guide Service has cancelled all moose hunts through 2026.
