*IMPORTANT INFORMATION*
Here is some good advice that was shared with us, which we agree with and think you should be aware of when planning your Big Game hunting trip to Alaska. Sport hunting in Alaska is not like any of your local travel agency’s tours that have a plan laying out all agendas that rarely vary from the described program. The sport hunting experience just doesn’t work that way. You might say fair chase sport hunting has open itinerary-lots of plans, strategies and ideas that are likely to change daily or even hourly. Everything may go as planned ...or nothing will!! Surprises, confusion, delays, disruptive weather conditions, disappointments, risks of death or terror, disease, hazards, great joy, and sudden unexplainable changes are likely at any time. However, this is precisely what creates the challenge, the excitement, the memories, and the sense of perseverance, accomplishment and victory! There are no guarantees. You must accept this fact, or don’t go. Alaska has less big game per square mile than any of the lower 48 states. The success of your hunt should not be solely based on the harvesting of your animal. You will find it different with varying standards, but that is what sport hunters thrive on and must be why they go, for they understand that the game they bag is only a small part of the overall hunting experience. It is all a part of fair chase and adventure. Fair chase is real hunting! Sport hunting may not be for everyone. Success rates on some hunts or certain species are higher than others. Book what your time and income can handle without skimping. Sport hunting is seldom a bargain. Your mental and physical stamina are important and must be considered. Wild animals can be dangerous and so can weapons, boats, planes, all terrain vehicles, the weather, mountains, rivers, streams, the Alaskan environment and your fellow man. Imperfections of man, beast or equipment are a part of the hunting adventure. High standards are admirable, but ailing, inflexible, hard to satisfy or difficult people with a history of problems, hard drinking or complaining who can’t accept these realities should not go. Life is too short for all of us to risk spoiling this potential life-long memory. Leave your tape measure, personal problems and all difficult people behind. The service may not be what some expect. Alaska Bush Adventures will tell you how it might be, could be, or should be, but we really can’t tell you for sure how anything will be-or even if you will enjoy it. We can’t promise anything for sure, except that Alaska Bush Adventures wants you to be successful, have a good time and will work hard to the end. Fair chase hunting, especially for the difficult, rare or large trophies, may require more than one hunt. A lot of unexpected physical effort or hardship and walking may be required, even on the easiest types of hunts. In some cases, the arrangement may not be all that you wanted or expected, but the hunt is what it is. The obstacles you encounter daily are what distinguishes fair chase sport hunting from fenced property hunts, game farms or any type of controlled shooting. What one sees as a dream hunt may be a nightmare to another. Alaska Bush Adventures use various types of camps and methods, depending on the situation. We may discuss several, yet you and your guide may daily use another method. Big game nimals, weather and luck are unpredictable. It is an adventure and experience where success is not measured only by the quantity or quality of game taken. Big Game Hunting is the pursuit!!.
