Tips for Moose Hunting In Alaska

Is An Alaskan Moose Hunt the Best Place to Hunt Moose?

Cole Helvey found himself in a remote wilderness drop camp. He was moose hunting in Alaska on a narrow, winding, shallow river. Hoping to set his sights on a trophy bull in the 58 to 64 inches range. Naaaah, he wasn't hoping for too much. Just your typical bull moose hunt up north.


"Nothing compares to Alaska big game hunting," Helvey raved.

"No doubt that an Alaskan moose hunt is a lot of work though. Often just getting to the wilderness areas the trophy moose inhabit can be an adventure in and of itself."

"And the trip back to meet the bush plane ain't no picnic either," he admitted with a smile. "What with the addition 250+ pounds of moose meat to deal with."

"What's that? Why go to all that trouble? Let me give you three reasons."

"First," he said, "Alaska is an excellent location to glass trophy bulls."

"There is plenty of public land to hunt."

"Besides," Helvey confessed, "I'm kinda addicted to wilderness hunts like this. Especially since there are few things in life as exciting as a half-ton bull moose thrashing his way through the brush in response to your call."

With that he offered to impart a couple of moose hunting tips.
"Moose offer a huge vital zone so your sight in is not absolutely critical. Try to aim at the bottom third of the chest. That way even if you end up shooting high you've still got a good chance of dropping him in his tracks."

"When field judging a bull moose look for high, wide, well-developed palms. "

"The best time to call in bulls is on a calm, cool day. Generally they tend to be most vocal early morning or evenings. So that's when you want to be doing your calling too."
"Few things offer the kind of thrill of an Alaskan bull moose hunt," Helvey suggested as he turned to leave. "I guess that's because few things compare to the challenge of moose hunting in Alaska."
