Guided Alaska Hunting

Premier Brown Bear, Black Bear & Moose Hunting

Master Guide and your host, Willie

I specialize in guided trips for jumbo BROWN BEAR and offer incredible MOOSE and BLACK BEAR hunts in the best hunting areas of Alaska. I personally guide all trips. The UNGUIDED MOOSE hunts are a fantastic bargain for hunters willing to put in the effort to harvest huge trophies. Success rates are excellent.

If hustle, honesty, integrity and professionalism is important to you, you've found what you are looking for. I provide the names of ALL of my clients/numbers from last season. Contact me personally to provide all of the details of a spectacular Alaska hunting experience. I will text or email you all the info quickly.

If you're planning an unguided hunt, be assured that I take the same pride in providing unguided moose and black bear opportunities as with my guided hunts. You're hunting partner will thank you for choosing to hunt with my outfit. You will look like a star for bringing him to my hunting camps. Contact me for the list of the specific gear I provide, specific food I provide, and the specific gear you need to bring.

When booking a hunt, it is best to use the same rule of thumb as when you buy a scope. Buy the best you can afford. The sweetness of low price is short lived but the bitterness of dealing with a poor guide lasts a lifetime.

I personally guide all of my clients. Before you book a hunt with me, I give you the opportunity to talk to EVERY client that I guided the previous season by supplying you with the names and phone numbers of ALL my clients from the previous season. Call them and ask them hard questions. By listening to their answers, you will see the clear value my business has over my competition. Because I provide the names of ALL my clients, you know YOUR NAME will be going on the list next season so you should have comfort in knowing I have a vested interest in your success. As the owner of the business, you should also know that I have a greater interest in your success than if I was simply putting you out with a hired hand like the other outfitters do. In a perfect world, everybody would care about the business as much as the owner. But we don't live in a perfect world.

There is a demographic that only wants to be guided by the owner of the business because they know what valuable dynamics that brings to their hunt/experience. Because I do all of my own guiding, the hunting is EXCELLENT. Because I do ALL of my own guiding, my time gets spoken for rather quickly. I treat everybody the same. I treat everybody the same when you are booking the hunts...the first person that puts money across my desk gets the dates. That gives everybody the same chance to hunt with me. When you book a hunt with me, my goal is to get you to come back on another hunt. The best way for me to get you to come back on a second hunt is to show you a great time on your first hunt.

It is sometimes hard to get a hunter to book a hunt with me the first time. However, it is a slam dunk to get them to book a second, third and fourth hunt with me after I have guided them once. I make my living on repeat business. If you have concerns about how to go about choosing a great outfitter, you should find comfort that I do ALL of my own guiding and everyone’s name goes on my client lists that I send out to prospective clients. There is a lot of risk in putting the names of all of my customers on a list as a way of demonstrating how good of an operation I am running. I risk other outfitters trying to poach my clients and I risk a client not saying great things about me.  If I owned a run-of-the-mill operation, that would be a concern. I do not own a run-of-the-mill operation, I own an OUTSTANDING operation. I have a lot of confidence in my operation and you won’t be disappointed that you spent money with me.

 

When you book a hunt with me, do so knowing that I have your best interest in mind before, during and after the hunt. I am proud of that. Trust that you will get a great outdoor experience when you go hunting with me.

Unless other arrangements are made, I will be your guide. In a perfect world, an employee would care about the business as much as the owner. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. I do all of my own guiding unless other arrangements are made. It is comforting for you to know that the guy who is cashing your check (me) is the same guy who will accompany you in the field (me). I put my reputation on the line every time I cash a check. Most outfitters won’t invest in having an addition helper in a spike camp due to the cost. I always have another guy in camp as an extra set of eyes, hands and legs. Your success and enjoyment will improve greatly because of my old-school effort and integrity. It is foolish to book a hunt in today’s day and age without an additional helper in camp. Cut your corners somewhere else!

Testimonial from John VanDruezen “Willie has the hustle, energy, and experience to make your hunting experience a great adventure. His attitude is excellent. Go with Willie and have the confidence he will give you MORE than your money’s worth, he is a true professional.”

Testimonial from Ritchie Bennet, “I’ve hunted all over North America and Alaska twice. Willie is the only guy I would trust to guide me in Alaska again.”

*When researching a hunt, you should ask to speak with ALL of the clients who hunted the same time you are considering hunting the previous year. It is foolish to consider booking a hunt with an outfitter before you speak with hunters who have hunted the same time and place during the previous season. It is important to know ahead of time what you are getting for your money. I am proud of the attention I give each client before, during, and after the hunt. Most importantly, DON'T CONSIDER BOOKING A HUNT WITH ANYONE THAT IS NOT WILLING TO GIVE YOU PHONE NUMBERS AND/OR EMAIL ADDRESSES OF ALL OF THEIR CLIENTS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. I treat everybody the same. A 50% nonrefundable deposit reserves the dates. The first money across my desk gets the dates. That gives everybody the same chance to do business with me.

If you call in August or September I will be off the grid guiding in remote Alaska. In this case use my landline, it will be forwarded to my cell or my wife Julie’s cell, whomever is available. Leave a message. She talks with me via satellite phone everyday. My communication skills are excellent most of the year but it is challenging when I’m off the grid. Please use patience during August and September, it will be worth it.
