The new Airboat is almost home to Alaska.

I swear this road gets longer every year.

ARE WE THERE YET???

06/13/2024

So what color is the new Airboat ???... lol

06/11/2024

OK here we go again.

Please read through some of the posts i have on here.

LOTS of the questions i get are already answered in my posts of trips we offer , camping gear rental, where to fly into and recomended gear list.

I will explain again that during your caribou trip, there are no black bears unless you see one from the haul road south of Atigan pass.
There are lots of wolves.

There are MOOSE up there but YOU CAN NOT SHOOT THEM.
There are Musk Ox up there.
DO NOT SHOOT THEM or you will be staying in Alaska longer than planned.

For Moose hunting trips....there are NO Caribou in the area you will be hunting.
There are bear and wolf if you want to try for those.

It is you the hunter that is responsible to know exactly what is legal and what is not.
INCLUDING the use of drones.

Please do not invite trouble by not understanding our wildlife laws.

06/09/2024

Killed my first 2024 Alaskan Mosquito.

Did i mention to make SURE you bring bug spray or 100 percent deet.

Therma cells work ok but only when the wind isnt blowing which is every 5 minutes....lol

06/07/2024

Ok guys the new Airboat is almost ready to haul to Alaska from Oregon next week end.

Then when i get there i will be putting the new feul injected 500 horse motor and big prop on it.

Starting July 2 we will be cranking up to head to NBR and have a thousand things to do including moving 2 Airboats , feul, camper and all our supplies 500 miles north to the boat launch.

We will be EXTREEMELY busy after july 2 and will be in and out of phone service , so if you have questions after that time please text and be patient for the reply.

No i didnt fall off the earth....lol

It might take a couple days for the reply but i WILL return your texts.

I will also be posting pics and any important info that arises during the season from my camper in the evenings when i get a chance.

We are Very excited to get back up there and clobber some caribou for Our freezer .

DO NOT FORGET ALL TAGS, HARVEST TICKETS AND ALL food / camping stuff like propane in FAIRBANKS.

There is NO place to get anything after you leave there except gas or diesel.

It is 250 miles to coldfoot gas station.

It is 500 miles to the Boat launch at the 336.5 mile marker on the Dalton hyway / Haul Road .

It is about 52 miles from the boat launch to Deadhorse gas station.

>>>to get to the Deadhorse gas station>>>> turn right at the first stop sign in Deadhorse Turn Right at the Arroura hotel , turn Left at the stop sign and it about 150 yds on left.
THEY ONLY ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS.

The conveinient store / napa is on the same road as the gas station across from Brooks Camp hotel.

Everything is Extreemely expensive up there so plan accordingly.

Be extreemly careful driving the haul road.

It can be very rough , deeeeeppp pot holes
Broken pavement
Muddy as heck.
Sharp big rocks
Moose and other critters crossing the road
And LOTS of semi trucks.

See ya in the north country.

Take some advise from a long time taxidermist.

Get skinning dirrections BEFORE your hunt.

Some guys like capes Tubed .

Most will say split it all the way up the back.

DO NOT CUT OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE EAR BUTTS.

This is an incredible pain in the butt to deal with when mounting the skin.

DO NOT DRAW A LINE DOWN THE BACK WITH YOUR KNIFE.

This causes unneccesary damge to fix and in most cases will need to be removed. Causing More fixes and more time .

IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO FLESH YOUR ANIMAL ASK AHEAD OF TIME instead of screwing up your hard earned trophy.

DO NOT SALT OVER MEAT !!!

This can and will cause spoilage and or damage to your skin.

DO NOT USE VELVALOCK on Caribou antlers.

It does not pe*****te the thick epidermal layer of the velvet to kill/replace or to treat the blood under the velvet or in the porous antler core.

If you treat your antlers with velvelock we WILL NOT check them in for expiditing to your taxidermist.

Leave the antlers in velvet alone and bring them in to get properly injected and soaked .

This will eliminated the chance of spoiled blood and horrible smells in the future.

I will NOT mount any of your animals but WILL flesh treat and ship them to your taxidermist.

Call or text if you need any more info.

Just a little reminder for our hunters coming up this year.

We will NOT STORE any of your personal gear ( gun boxes, coolers, meat or capes/antlers while you are in the field.

Any gear left behind will have to be in your rental rig.

Any meat sent out early in your hunt will be placed in your pickup and that is all we can legally do with it.

There is no place within 500 miles that will proccess and freeze ypur game meat .....plan accordingly ..

The nearest feul for caribou hunters at NBR is Deadhorse gas station 52 miles north of the boat launch, or 250 miles south to Coldfoot.....plan accordingly..

Also, the haul road can be VERY ROUGH.
Do not think you will be driving 70 miles an hour to get to camp.

Most of the road is 50 miles an hour at best unless you want to break down or wreck.

TRUCKS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY ON THE HAUL ROAD.

Have a safe trip and we will see you in camp for your adventure.

05/13/2024

Time to reserve your rental rigs and motel rooms.

DO NOT WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE.

If you do wait too long you might be SOL.

Dont forget to leave yourselves enough time to get your meat and antlers / capes taken care of before your departure from Fairbanks.

There is NO PLACE in Fairbanks that will just freeze your meat for you.
So you might consider buying a small freezer and plugging it in at your motel till the meat is frozen.

This may require an extra day in town before flying home.
Then quik sell it on market place before you leave.

"TSA is checking some coolers to see that the meat is frozen.".

The only meat proccessor in fairbanks is
Santas Smoke house/ Interior Fish Proccessors.

For Velvet preservation and cape fleshing so they can be shipped to Your taxidermist talk to RJ or Teresa and we can get you taken care of.

ALL HEADS MUST BE SKINNED OUT BEFORE WE WILL CHECK THEM IN.
This includes All european skulls.
NO EXCEPTIONS.

Reminder >>> ALL FINAL PAYMENTS for your trips are due on or before JULY 1.

Here is a break down of the trips we offer for DIY Alaskan Moose or Caribou camp drops.

FULL ROUND TRIPS
This consists of drop off for your group and pick up on your booked dates by Airboat.

FLOAT TRIPS
This is for an Airboat ride up river to your drop off spot.
Then you float /hunt /camp your way back down to the boat launch and your rig.

BOW HUNTERS SPECIAL
This is for round trip for your group drop off and pick up on booked dates WITHIN THE 5 MILE CORRIDOR.
This is an archery only area but it can also be a good way to access the rifle area Away from other hunting pressure with just a short hike.

There are no combo moose and caribou trips available in these areas.

Basic logistics.

You and your buddies fly to Fairbanks Alaska.
Rent either a Uhaul rig or another type of rig, then you drive either 250 miles from Fairbanks to the boat launch for moose trips or 500 miles north of Fairbanks to the boat launch for caribou trips.

( For caribou trips only we can arrange pickup and drop off in Deadhorse Alaska for an additional cost paid for with your balance due JULY 1)

Normally most folks arrive the day or night prior to your first booked day.
Then the morning of your first day we go over a safety briefing and load the boat...then we blast off for your Alaskan outback Adventure.

On your last booked day I will pick your group and game harvested up with my airboat and return you to the boat launch.
Time of pickup will be weather dependant although, I usually shoot for noon so we have plenty of time.

We can haul up to 4 people and gear and 4 caribou ( 1 moose )back to the boat launch but if you shoot more caribou/ moose than can safely fit in that load or you request an additional meat run we charge $700. Additional in cash for that trip.

EARLY OUT PICKUPS.
We can do early out pickups but if those days are already booked you will have to wait until the booked party has been taken care of then, if time allows before dark, we can get you out.

ALL caping, meat care, camping gear, rafts, hunting is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

We are not guides and can not assist in your hunting. That's the law.

These areas are located in the middle of Nowhere so there is NO place to store , freeze or package your game until you arrive back to Fairbanks.

There are lots of motels in fairbanks but due to only have 2 months of hunting season and the enormous amount of hunters arriving and departing, MAKE SURE to book your motel AND rental rig months ahead of time, or you could be setting up your tent.

In Fairbanks there is a Sportsmans Warehouse
Frontier Outfitters
Walmart
2 Fred Meyers
2 Safeway
So, if you forgot something, or need more food or supplies, DO IT BEFORE LEAVING FAIRBANKS.

There is gas and diesel available in Coldfoot or Deadhorse that's it, so plan accordingly.

For meat, we recommend that you either use Santa's Smoke shop in town or buy a cooler and pack it accordingly for your flight with you as checked bags.

DONATE MEAT
We do have several families within the community that appreciate any and all donated moose or caribou meat that you want to leave.
Teresa or I can take it and distribute it, no problem.

There is NOWHERE that will Flash freeze or store your meat while you wait for your flight in town. Plan accordingly.

CAPING INSTRUCTIONS

I am a licensed taxidermist.
If you are unsure of how to.proprrly skin or take care of your trophy cape or antlers ask us.
We can easily explain proper Skinning.

EXPIDITING TROPHIES.
If you want us to prep skins and tan velvet so your trophies can be shipped to your taxidermist we can do that in our facilities in Fairbanks.

This should cover most of the needed info for our hunters.
Here's some pictures to drool over.
