	Guided Hunts In Western Alaska Why Choose a guided hunt? It's the Ultimate !!! Take advantage of the guide's expertise in determining which trophy is right for you.

Know that the antlers of your trophy will be properly prepared by the lodge staff (ready for transporting on any aircraft). Stay in both the lodge and a spike camp; enjoy the sauna and other comforts at the lodge as well as the remoteness of a spike camp.
