A BIT ABOUT DENALI HUNTS

The word bowhunting implies challenge. For most of us, this is why we do it! Add the word Alaska and the challenge is multiplied. For some, the challenge may seem too great. For others, it's exciting - the type of excitement we live for.

Bowhunting in Alaska is special. To make sure that your hunt in Alaska is filled with the type of excitement you thrive on, you need to be sure that the guide you choose knows and is capable of providing everything you as a bowhunter need for an enjoyable and successful trip to Alaska.

DENALI HUNTS was established in 1986 by myself, Stan Parkerson. In the beginning as an accomplished bush air taxi I offered drop camps for bowhunters. Since then I have become a registered guide. However, one thing has not changed: we still cater to bowhunters and we still do a limited number of drop camps.

There are many guides in Alaska, most of which are very qualified at what they do. Many refuse to take bowhunters, others will just to fill openings. Some charge extra if you bowhunt and most recommend you bring your rifle, simply because they lack the patience and confidence to deal with bowhunters! There are a few guides in Alaska that do seek bowhunters and do offer quality hunts, but unless you book with a bowhunting only guide service, you may end up sharing your camp with gun hunters. To the best of my knowledge DENALI HUNTS is the only exclusively bowhunting guide service in Alaska!

BOWHUNTERS GUIDING BOWHUNTERS

At DENALI HUNTS all of our guides are experienced bowhunters with polished wilderness skills. Our guides are made up of Pope & Young measurers, volunteer bowhunter education instructors, most have numerous record book entries and are experienced at field judging trophies. We're all long time Alaskans and have bowhunted in excess of 15 years. We are members of many hunting organizations including the Pope & Young Club and the National Rifle Association (I'm a life member). We've all been active in bowhunting legislation, including support for the International Bowhunter Education Program. We all love to bowhunt and several of us have harvested over 50 big game animals with bow and arrow. I've taken 13 different species and my largest archery trophy is an eight-foot Black bear that scored 22 Boone & Crockett points. It's the 2nd largest Black bear ever taken in Alaska. The list could go on, but the idea is that we are all accomplished bowhunting guides. I strongly believe that the combined experience of our guides along with the top trophy areas we hunt makes DENALI HUNTS the best guide service available for the serious bowhunter.

ALL SPECIES

DENALI HUNTS is licensed to hunt all species of Alaskan game. Currently we are not hunting areas that have populations of Dall sheep, Mountain goats, Sitka-blacktail deer or coastal Brown bears. However, we are always looking to expand our areas and may have since this information was published. If you're interested in hunting one of these species, give us a call. We may be able to help or recommend another guide.

BOOKING YOUR HUNT

Once all your questions have been answered and you've decided that DENALI HUNTS is the right choice for your hunt in Alaska, just call or e-mail us to request a hunt contract. The hunt contract will list the specifics of your hunt, spelled out in black and white so there are no misunderstandings. You should do this as soon as you're sure that you want to book a hunt, so that you get the best dates possible, many of the popular hunts are booked two years in advance. After reviewing the contract, sign it and return one copy to DENALI HUNTS along with your deposit. Then, your hunt dates are reserved. The deposit will be 30% to 50% of the price of the hunt, depending on the hunt dates. The remaining balance is due at the beginning of the hunt. Deposits are non-refundable, but can be applied towards later hunt dates or transferred to another hunter. In the event we are unable to provide the services, all deposits will be refunded.
