Our moose hunts takes place in the heart of prime moose country just outside Denali National Park, in Alaska’s beautiful interior. This part of the Alaska Range is famous for big trophy moose. Low numbers of hunters coupled with a hard working outfitter, produces high success on quality animals. In this area, moose, caribou, grizzly bear, sheep, black bear, wolf and wolverine are available in the same season and makes this an excellent choice for multi species combination hunts.

One of our moose hunts was filmed for the Huntin Fool TV show and has been aired several times on the Sportsman Channel.

2024 Season Update:

The Fall 2024 hunt was very successful and all clients took game. Our moose hunting area to the North by the lodge and southern boundary of Denali National Park was strangely slow moose hunting, we suspect because of a 20,000-acre wildfire that started 4 miles North just inside the park, back in the summer. Two of the clients that hunted this area in the first season took very nice caribou and large grizzlies however. The Southern part of our area where we built a new cabin, was extremely good moose hunting as always. We took 7 very good bull moose with an average of 64”. Our largest was an old 79” bull that was living in deep cover 3 miles from the lodge and was undetected for 12 days. We also took 4 good bull caribou and 4 large grizzlies.

Our 2023 moose season started out stressfully as we had 5 clients waiting in McGrath while most of the Litzen Guide Service staff was stuck in a pattern of poor weather that had the Alaska Range passes closed for days. We finally got to the lodge but a few days behind schedule. All staff and I, the pilot, put it in overdrive and managed to get everyone into the field with only one lost hunting day. All our early season hunters got game besides one good natured, hard, and patient hunter form Germany. We ended up with 5 moose, 2 caribou and 3 grizzlies for the first hunt. In the late hunt despite cold and snowy conditions, the rut did not kick in until the last days of the season. With hard work and persistence, we ended up getting all 5 moose and 2 more grizzlies. We ended up with well over a 60” antler average spread with the largest being 68”.

Moose Hunting was really good in 2022. We had success rate of 9 out of 10 hunters. Most bulls taken were very large.

Moose hunting was better in 2021 than the last several years. We were seven for ten on success with 100% opportunity on good legal bulls. We took two especially good animals at 69” and 78”!  We had an incredible 64.5” average antler width. When we left my area there were good legal bulls with cows everywhere I flew.

In the 2020 season, we had eleven hunters and took ten great bulls with a 60″ antler average. The only hunter to not take a bull had several chances on legal moose but was looking for an above average bull, so we were 100% on opportunity. See testimonial on our testimonial page from the only hunter to not harvest a bull moose. Moose continue to build their population in our hunting area for several years in a row now.

In 2019 we were 9 for 10 with 100% hunter opportunity and a 60″ antler average. Largest bulls taken were 67″ and 69″.
