Lodge Hunts

Hidden Alaska lodge is located in unit 16B of the Alaska Range and provides our most deluxe accommodations, with private guest cabins and Norwegian steam saunas. Here we use rafts, riverboats, and ATV 4 wheelers as transportation to and from the field. From the field, glassing and stalking is the method of hunting. This area borders Denali National Park and Preserve in a terrain of low mountains and boreal forest. Populations of black bear and grizzly are high; caribou hunting is also available for those who enjoy a physically challenging hunt.

Hunts are conducted from the lodge from mid-August to mid October. We also offer spring bear hunts out of the lodge. Of course the advantage of hunting out of the lodge is that you have all the comforts of home within a reasonable distance from the hunting area. This hunt is very popular with couples because it offers privacy in a very comfortable setting.

Our lodge hunters continue to do well on both black bear and grizzly hunts, with increasing numbers of bears being available. This season we noticed a big increase in the number of mature bears over previous years. Bear numbers are on a sharp rise, and we expect the coming year to offer some outstanding hunts.

 

 

Come on out to the lodge and take advantage of this tremendous opportunity! The fall hunt is typically done using four-wheelers to access the trailhead, and then we hike a short distance into the hunt area from there. We’ll frequently set a comfortable spike camp in the hunting area to take advantage of the prime morning and evening hunting hours. Our spike camps offer access to a beautiful clear-water stream that’s loaded with char, grayling, and rainbow trout. If you end up hiking up this stream, you may stay in a smaller trapper’s cabin for a night or three. The warm, snug cabin offers a couple of bunks and a cooking area, and it’s just the place to be if the weather goes down.

It is possible to hunt both black and grizzly bears on the same hunt in this remote area.
