Yes, You have to coordinate through DHO Rentals for anything regarding camp rental. You can email them at dhorentals@gmail.com

We have never had any issues with bears, You will see bears in the distance but I can assure you that they are as affraid of you as you are of them. We have never had bears come into camp either even with meat in camp. PLEASE NOTE: Just because bears have not been an issue in the past does not mean that they can not become one. Please educate yourself on Grizzly Bear and understand how to react if you should walk up on one or be approached.

All tags are over the counter and can be obtained on Alaska Department of Fish and Game Website

No, You need to be prepared to manage meat care while you are on the ground. We recommend that you contact an Alaska taxadermist to discuss meat care and velvet care. There are exceptions. It rarely happens but if we feel like the temperatures are to warm for meat to case and keep appropriatly we will do what we can to get the meat off the ground and back to freezers.

No, We do not use Satelite phones we use Garmin InReach to communicate. We ask that you buy or rent an InReach that will ensure that you can communicate with us. Even though some Satelite phones can text message not all will connect and communicate with InReach. If you do arrive without a Sat phone and no inreach you will not be able to communicate with us in the feild.

No you do not and we do recommend that you have a sidearm while you hunt. Though bears have never been an issue it does not mean its not a possiblilty.

For Caribou you will fly into Prudhoe Bay Alaska For Moose you will fly into Fairbanks Alaska and then fly with wright air service into Coldfoot

Sure! It is Ptarmigan season up here 10 August - 15 June, and they are generally everywhere. But, we should warn you that shooting at the birds will likely scare away the caribou. Soooooo… it’s up to you – after all, caribou are the main reason for your visit and we don’t want you to come away with just a handful of feathers and no antlers! Or, bear the scorn of your fellow hunters for scaring the game away.

You will want to bring your rifles in hard cases on the airlines to and from Prudehoe Bay or Cold Foot. However, when you get to our Boat Launch, you will be required to remove them from the hard cases and put them in your soft cases in an effort to save room on the airboat. HARD CASES WILL NOT BE LOADED ON THE BOAT TO GO OUT IN THE FIELD – BE SURE YOU BRING A SOFT CASE WITH YOU IN YOUR GEAR! The hard cases and any items you bring with you that you won’t need in the field can remain in our locked storage containers until you return from your hunt. We always like to make sure our hunters know this – as someone ALWAYS shows up and forgets to bring their soft case with them. Most hunters don’t want to travel with their rifles exposed, but space is tight – especially on the way back – and the hard cases just won’t fit.

No we do not We transport by Airboat only

Yes you can, When you set up your emergency contacts on your Inreach put Global Rescue number (+16174594200) in as one of your emergency contacts with a note that you have rescue insurance through Global Rescue. Your SOS Button is monitored by GEOS if something should happen that you have to hit your SOS button GEOS Reaches out to your emergency contacts and stays in touch with them through the whole event. We have been told by GEOS and Global rescue that once that contact is made GEOS will hand over all coordinations to Global Rescue and Globel rescue will message you back and coordinate all needed Medical Evacuation assests if need. Please Keep in mind we have not tested this but we do know that even if the hand off does not happen GEOS will ensure you are taken care of.

Our drop camp weighs around 100-125lbs total weight for a camp set up for 6. I you bring your own drop camp equipment you will need to stay 125lbs or below.

No, Our scheduled hunts are 8 days long and we have other clients coming in.

There is really no best time to hunt, we see Caribou movment througout the entire month of August through September. Sometimes depending on the weather the 1st week of August may be a little slow but that is not always the case. The biggest difference between early season and late season is below: - Early season: 1st of August though around the 20th of August - Warmer weather - More daylight - More bugs - Caribou are in Velvet - Late Season: 20th of August through 15 Sep - Colder weather (freezing temperatures at night) - Less daylight - Less bugs do to freezing weather at night - Caribou start coming out of velvet the last week of August

There is no in front of the herd really, The Caribou migrate South through the months of July, August, September, and October to their breeding grounds in the Brooks Range. They do not move as one unit so there are roughly 38,000 Caribou moving South. We do hoever put you in their migration path so Caribou will be moving though your drop camp location.

6 is the maximum number we can transport on the boat so with that said that is the largest hunting party we will transport to the field. For Caribou our minimum is 1 (Solo) unlike some Outfitters we will transport Solo hunters to the field. For Moose our minimum is 2 hunters, Maximum stays the same as above

the upfront answer to this is YES you will most likely see other people. There are a few reasons for this. #1: You and your hunting party are not the only hunting party we have on the ground and with the area being so large and open you will see other camps through your spotting scope and bino's. With that said we place camps 4-8 miles apart so though you can see them you are not close to them at all. #2: There is another outfitter up there and though we communicate with their outfit we are both strategically placing camps on two different river systems. #3: This is probably the biggest one, You are hunting public land and local hunters will at times bring their own boats and go up river to hunt. typically hunters are curtious and stay out of your way and out of range but there are times where they are not.

No, Unless you want to drive to us from Fairbanks you are not required to. We will pick you up in Prudhoe Bay and get you to the boat launch.
