Alaska Moose Hunting InformationNON-residents: Please read this Alaska Moose Hunt page first, then follow this link to the Non-Resident Moose page information. NEW 3/9/2011; The Board of Game will now allow you to pickup the non-resident moose registration permit until September 8th. Smokey submitted this proposal. This will save a lot of time and money for all involved. Now this area has a 2 brown bear limit, so it is now possible to take 1 moose and 2 brown bears on the combination hunt. Another big change/clarification came from the Guide Board. Now we CAN once again use our plane to survey the area for moose and brown bears. Sometimes you see moose and bear from the air and sometimes you don't. But you do see the moose and bear tracks and you can tell the difference. So this change will help at all of the camps. NEWS: 2008 hunter Jerry Dennis awarded official score from B&C of 221. In 2009 we had 3 moose hunters. The 2 non-residents took a 68-1/2" and a 61 inch moose at 9 and 20 yards while the resident took a 55" moose at 12 yards and closing fast. In 2010 we saw and called in lots more moose than 2008 and 2009. The 2 biggest we saw still
live and they were real big dandies. We had 4 moose hunters. One left before moose season
due to family emergency, one left Sept. 9 for business and could have shot a moose and
bear but didn’t. The 2 hunters that stayed got 2 moose. The biggest was large with a 59” spread. See photos of APGS Alaska Moose Hunting on Picasaweb. Just select Slideshow or Indvidual photos for Alaska Moose. Alaska Moose hunting season is September 5 - 15 (11 days) for Non-resident moose hunters in Game Management Unit (GMU) 17 B. Moose hunting in our Resident Only areas is August 20 - September 15 with the resident registration permit or Sept 1 - 15 without the registration permit. No drawing permits are required. I sell the hunting license, moose and bear tags. We do have a free non-resident moose registration permit you pick up in Dillingham at Fish and Game on your way to camp, if you hunt moose along the river corridor. Our moose success rate was 100% for resident and non-residents in 2009 with the biggest measuring 68-1/2". And it was 100% for those who stayed the full season in 2010. Within Game Management Unit (GMU) 17 B, Alaska Private Guide Service offers two Non-Resident Hunting Areas. The main river corridor area where we use the jet boats requires a free registration permit.This river corridor permit allows you to moose hunt within 2 miles of the main rivers and creeks. There are a few creeks where we can use the jet boats to get outside of the permit corridor but they are somewhat dependent on water levels. The other non-resident area is a fly in only area where hunters must be able to walk up to 3 miles from the base camps. In both areas; non-residents must take a moose with a minimum 50" spread OR a moose with four brow tines on one side. Since the season for brown bear hunting overlaps moose hunt season in both areas; most non-resident hunters are choosing the Alaska moose and brown bear combination hunt. We have a separate Resident Hunting Only area. Moose hunters with the resident registration permit (must sign up before August 31 in person, in Dillingham) can start moose hunting August 20th and may take any size bull. Or, without the permit, hunters may take a spike/fork or 50" spread or three brow tine moose from Sept 1-15. This area is loaded with big moose. And they are in a narrow drainage which means they are never too far from the river. All of the GMU 17 moose hunting camps have excellent fishing free- with the most variety along the main rivers. All resident moose hunters and non-resident moose hunters getting the permits will fly commercially through Anchorage to Dillingham with non-residents continuing on to Koliganek. Non-resident moose hunters who do not get the river corridor moose hunting permit can fly direct from Anchorage to Koliganek. In Game Management Unit 20, Alaska Private Guide Service offers a Resident and Non-Resident Moose Hunting Area. The benefits of a GMU 20 moose hunt are: the prices are less because the logistics are cheaper. And hunters may take any size bull. GMU 20 hunters fly to Fairbanks commercially and then flown to camp. NOT AVAILABLE IN 2012. Hunting brown bear, black bear, caribou, wolf, wolverine, and some small game is also available. See the price information for costs and kill fees. NOTE: Resident Moose Hunting and Non-Resident Moose Hunting requirements are so different that we display their content separately. Please select the appropriate link for more information. Gear ListNote Many hunters are now choosing to mail most of their gear ahead direct to the village.
