Arctic Rivers Guide Service BOOKINGS & FEES

Alaska Big game guided hunting in NW Arctic, Alaska & Kodiak, Alaska

 

Each hunt is limited to 1 or 2 hunters/guide. Generally 2 or 3 of us are in attendance for each booking of 2 or more hunters.

Quoted fees cover all expenses on our part to conduct the hunt, fishing trip, etc. from pickup in Kotzebue or Kodiak to return with trophies. (A bush charter fee may apply, ask us for specifics.) Alaska Airlines provides daily service to & from Kotzebue & Kodiak - each guest is responsible for these arrangements - book early. It is important that you arrive on schedule as we charter aircraft to take new hunters to camp & pick up departing guests - same flight. A delay in arrival will be charged to those arriving late. I recommend air freighting rifle & critical gear to me via insured air freight - 2 weeks in advance of your arrival. Address your shipment to yourself, in care of me. Plan to arrive in Kotzebue or Kodiak the day before your hunt begins & overnight in a hotel before & after your hunt booking.

BOOKING DATES follow, however, this schedule is subject to modification as we have 5 species with overlapping seasons & we can book to accommodate hunters' schedules, given enough notice.
