R&R Hunting & Outdoor Adventures

Rob Jones Jr. owns and operates R&R Hunting & Outdoor Adventures from a lodge in Alaska's Revelation Mountains, about 160 miles west of Anchorage. He's been guiding hunters since 1992 and brings three decades of experience to every hunt. Rob also operates Hesperus Air Service, his own charter flight business, which means he controls access to areas most outfitters can't reach.

R&R operates two aircraft for hunting support:

• •Cessna 206 - Transports clients, guides, and supplies from Anchorage to the main lodge
• •Super Cub - Used for spike camp moves and access to small, unimproved landing areas throughout the hunting territory

Rob flies both planes himself and is known for expert piloting in backcountry conditions. This air-supported model means hunters can relocate between spike camps without extra cost if game moves or weather demands it.

• •Season: August 10 - September 20
• •Duration: 10 hunting days + 2 travel days (12-13 days total)
• •Capacity: Up to 10 hunters per year
• •Success Rate: 80-90% for hunters who use their full allotted time

Dall Sheep hunts are backpack hunts in the Revelation Mountains and along Denali National Park's southern boundary. The terrain is steep and physically demanding—expect significant elevation gain daily. R&R uses lightweight equipment to stay mobile. If sheep move or conditions warrant a move to different country, guides relocate at no extra charge.

• •Season: September 1-20
• •Duration: 10 hunting days + 2 travel days (12-13 days total)
• •Capacity: Maximum 8 Moose hunters per year
• •Success Rate: 85% over the last seven years
• •Average Spread: 60+ inches (65-71" common)

The hunting area has moderate Moose populations with solid genetics. R&R moves hunters between spike camps as needed. Once an animal is taken, packers are flown in to handle meat hauling and cape care. This lets hunters either head out or pursue a second species.

Recent Moose taken by clients have ranged 62-68 inches, with several scoring 220+.

• •Spring Season: Mid-April through mid-May
• •Fall Season: Spot-and-stalk in berry and salmon areas
• •Duration: 14 hunting days + 2 travel days (16-17 days total)
• •Success Rate: 75-80% in recent years
• •Average Size: 7½-8 feet, with some exceeding 9 feet

Spring hunts use snow tracking and spot-and-stalk methods as bears emerge from dens in open country. Fall hunts target bears in areas with berry crops and salmon streams (often overlapping Moose country).

• •Guide Quality - Guides are experienced outdoorsmen with excellent trophy care skills. Clients frequently mention guides' knowledge of the country and hunting ability.

• •Lodge Amenities - Base camp includes a sauna for sore muscles and a full-time cook. Meals are consistently praised in client testimonials.

• •Spike Camp Organization - Camps are described as comfortable, well-equipped, and scrupulously clean—important for a hunt that can involve bad weather and confined spaces.

• •Conservation Ethics - R&R harvests very few animals from their territory annually, preserving the resource. Rob's personal involvement in scouting and flying means he controls hunting pressure.

• •Trophy Care - Capes are professionally skinned and prepped. Clients report taxidermists are impressed with the quality of field preparation.

These are not casual hunts. Dall Sheep hunts in particular require excellent cardiovascular fitness and leg strength. Multiple testimonials mention hunters training for months in advance. Expect steep terrain, high elevation, changeable weather, and significant pack weight. R&R provides gear guidance to help clients prepare.
