Our Kodiak Brown Bear hunts (Ursus arctos middendorffi) occur in the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, where we have an exclusive guide-use area in the Barling and Three Saints Bay regions.

Our Mountain Goat hunts take place on Kodiak Island.. We hunt in our sole guide area located within Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge lands where we are the only ones permitted to guide hunters. This is a premier goat area.

The Dall Sheep (Ovis dalli dalli) is perhaps one of the most iconic big game animals in Alaska.The rewards of a successful hunt are immeasurable. I hunt the North-Eastern portion of the Brooks Range, located in the world-famous Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in a designated wilderness area.

The Alaska-Yukon Moose (Alces-alces gigas) is the largest antlered game in the world. Large trophy class bulls can have antlers from the 58 – 65 inch range and some can reach the mid to high 70s. An adult bull can weigh as much as 1600 lbs and gives up to 800 pounds of delicious meat!

The Alaska Peninsula is home to some of the world’s largest brown bears (Ursus arctos) and supports some of the healthiest populations due in no small part to their excellent habitat with great salmon runs.

I am a second-generation guide and grew up in the big game guiding profession. I worked alongside my dad, Joe Klutsch, who began his Alaska guiding career in the early 1970s. I was extremely fortunate to learn so much from him.

Joe founded the business in 1976. He started out taking fishermen on the Naknek River. After earning his Registered Guide license in 1982, he obtained several guide areas on the Alaska Peninsula. In 2007, he also acquired an exclusive guide area on Kodiak Island.
