Guided Trophy Caribou Hunt

Our guided caribou hunts take place in the Kilbuck Mountains East of Bethel. The herd we hunt is the Mulchatna herd and last count was over 100,000 animals. This herd consistently produces numerous B&C bulls every year. The herd migrates through the hunting area’s August – October.

The hunting method is spot and stalk. Most of the animals are harvested within 1 – 2 miles from camp, although as with all Alaskan hunting it helps if you can walk up to 5 miles a day.

Your camp will be at 800 – 2500 ft in elevation. The rolling tundra covered valleys provide relatively easy walking. Plan to hunt in leather boots, hip boots are used for crossing streams.

Caribou hunts are fun hunts and ideal for larger groups of hunters who want to hunt out of the same base camp.

All guided caribou hunters will have the camp and guides to themselves unless other arrangements have been made ahead of time. All camps consist of cooking tents and sleeping tents. Larger hunting groups will have a cook in camp and smaller groups will have meals prepared by their guide.

Un-Guided Trophy Caribou Hunts

In addition to our guided hunts, Renfro’s Alaskan Adventures is offering a limited number of trophy bull caribou hunts. These trophy hunts are located in areas which can only be reached by short field, tundra tire equipped aircraft. This allows us the advantage of accessing remote wilderness areas, which would otherwise be inaccessible. The caribou herds migrating through these areas always seem to have big bulls, and consistently produce trophy quality heads. These hunts can be physically demanding at times but the payoff is often well worth the extra effort. Hunters provide all gear on this hunt. Hunters interested in fully equipped unguided camps should contact us for details and prices.

A trophy caribou is a bull caribou you will be proud to hang on your wall as a remembrance of your adventure. You can improve your chance of taking the trophy bull you are coming to hunt by looking at pictures of other bull caribou and how you score a caribou before you arrive. These are one of the most difficult animals to judge because each animal has a different horn configuration.

On the flight into the hunting area feel free to ask your pilot questions. We are happy to share our knowledge with you. This is part of the service we provide take advantage of it.
