World Class Outdoors

World Class Outdoors operates as a hunting guide network connecting serious hunters with experienced outfitters across Alaska and beyond. Their featured Alaska operations focus on the state's most sought-after game: brown bear, moose, and caribou.

Alaska hunts include: - Brown bear (the most popular Alaska hunt) - Moose and caribou - Predators: wolf and mountain lion - Bow hunting options for multiple species

Beyond Alaska, they arrange hunts across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Africa, offering everything from western game (elk, mule deer, antelope) to exotic species and waterfowl.

Most Alaska hunts follow similar methods. Guides and outfitters begin from a vantage point to locate herds or trophy animals, then execute a stalk that can last weeks. These hunts demand physical fitness and patience—especially predator hunts, where understanding terrain and wildlife behavior becomes critical.

"The costs and risks are too high to take a chance on a poor hunt," their team notes. Using professional guides covers regulations, tags, travel, lodging, meals, terrain expertise, and successful tracking methods.

• •Most seasons run August through late October
• •Specific dates vary by Game Management Unit (GMU)
• •Major airports: Anchorage (largest), Juneau (capital), Fairbanks
• •Youth regulations: Alaska residents under 16 need no license; non-resident youth require hunting licenses

Alaska harbors some of Earth's largest wildlife. Brown bears near coastlines reach record sizes—the state record scored 30 12/16 inches, and mammoth-sized bears are taken annually. The state's extreme temperatures, terrain, and abundant prey create ideal conditions for trophy-class animals.

While World Class Outdoors guides handle most logistics, detailed regulations and season information are available through the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (www.adfg.alaska.gov).
