Hunt Wild Alaska

North Alaska Expeditions operates under the guidance of Justin C. Johns, Alaska Master Guide #139, and his son Conner Johns, Alaska Registered Guide Outfitter #141445. Since 1986, they've been conducting trophy brown bear and moose hunts across three distinct Alaska wilderness areas with exclusive federal and private permits.

"Providing experiences of a lifetime for over thirty years." — North Alaska Expeditions

Admiralty Island National Monument (Spring) Operating since 1993 in Southeast Alaska's Kootznoowoo "Fortress of the Bears" Wilderness Area within Tongass National Forest. Mid-April through May brown bear season.

Wood River-Tikchik River State Park (Summer/Fall) Home base since 1986. Privately owned lodge location in the heart of the State Park. Summer fly-fishing and fall hunting operations.

Togiak National Wildlife Refuge (Fall) Western location immediately adjacent to lodge operations. Exclusive federal and private permits since 1987. Coastal brown bear country.

Bush flights from Dillingham run $1,500 per person roundtrip (scheduled dates). Non-hunters can participate for reduced rates.

Brown Bears Averaging 8'–8'6" across both regions, with exceptional color variation—traditional gold-highlighted bears plus silver and cream variations. Most bears taken within 15 yards, many under 10 yards. Archery hunts require double-lung shots. Over 30 successful bow hunts conducted over the years.

Moose True trophy bulls averaging 61" antler width, ranging 54"–72". Spot-and-stalk and calling tactics. Hunters of varying physical abilities have success harvesting 60"+ class bulls.

All hunts are 1x1 professional guiding—no groups. Hunters stay in waterfront cabins with wood stoves, hot showers, and chef-prepared meals. Daily transportation via river jet-boats to access prime moose and bear habitat.
