Thank
you for considering Ultimate Alaskan Adventures for your next big
game hunt. Whether you are pursuing dall sheep, moose, mountain
goat or brown/grizzly bear you can rest assured that you’ll
be getting the hunt of a life time with some of the most experienced
guides Alaska has to offer.
At Ultimate Alaskan Adventures our forte is dall sheep hunting but
we also offer excellent moose, mountain goat and brown/grizzly bear
hunting. Since the beginning we have felt that guiding is not just
a way of making a living but is a the chance to give the hunting
sportsman the chance to experience the adventure of a lifetime.
We offer a variety of hunts to fit the specific needs of each hunter.
We offer general season across the counter hunts in the Chugach,
and Alaska Range mountains as well as draw permit hunts in unit
GMU 13D of the Chugach Mountians.
If you want to push yourself to the limit we have hardcore backpack
only sheep hunts in an area that allows no aircraft, atv’s
or pack animals in support of hunting meaning you’ll get the
ultimate in “Fair Chase” hunting. If that sounds like
it’s more than you want to subject yourself to we also offer
fully supported hunts for all big game species using Alaskan bush
planes which enable us to locate good area’s to hunt as well
as the ability to move quickly to different area’s of operation.
From
the time you are met in Anchorage until the time you step back on
the plane to fly back to civilization we will make sure all of your
needs are taken care of from trophy and meat to assistance with
lodging as well as directing you to a taxidermist if needed.
By offering a limited number of hunts our outfit can assure top
trophy quality as well as the hunt of a lifetime. But don’t
take our word for it, ask for a list of referrals and talk with
those who have already been with us in the field. There is a reason
we have such a high return rate of hunters.
Sheep
Hunts Alaska General Season: We have harvested large numbers
of exceptioinal dall sheep that hunters keep coming back for. These
Alaska Dall Sheep hunts are over-the-counter not requiring a limited
entry draw permit. These areas have a very healthy population of
Dall Rams ranging from 37” to 40+”. Only a few general
season sheep hunters a year are taken in these areas in the spectacular
Chugach and Alaska Mountain Ranges. Keeping our hunter numbers low
in these hunt areas allows us to provide much personal attention
and focus on having a top high quality hunt for once in a life time
trophy animal. The Chugach Mountains are known for their deep, heavy
curl and high B&C scoring Dall Rams. These are traditional back
pack sheep hunts and a client will need to be in top physical condition
and mentally prepared to really enjoy the experience. A grizzly
bear could be added for a trophy fee, and a black bear, wolf and
wolverine can be taken at no charge.
DATES:
The dates are August 10 - Sep 20. These are 10-day hunts.
INCLUDES: 1 hunter x 1 guide ratio, meals, spike
camp accommodations, in-field transportation, and field care of
trophy.

meet the client. Then charter to camp. There will be one night hotel

My dearest wife and very best friend Evelyn and I have been married
for 23 years and together a total of 25. We have 2 children who
are now grown up. Annie 22 is married to Allen Porter, an Army Staff
Sergeant, and is currently stationed in Italy. Allen served 14 months
in Iraq until April 2005 then they moved from Hawaii in November
2005 to Italy, and then he redeployed to Afghanistan in December
2005 for an undetermined amount of time. We almost lost Allen to
a road side bomb a year ago and we have been given a second chance
from the man upstairs. He loves the Army, and I told him if he were
to stay in the Army he had to be the best Soldier he could be for
Annie, himself and of a course us. J He has done a great job so
far. Annie is a very busy military wife, which I have learned over
the years from watching and counting on Evelyn to keep our family
in order with me being deployed and TDY so much.
A
military wife is one of the toughest jobs out there. It is a full
time job for her just keeping family affairs in order with Allen
being gone 18 of the last 24 months. Amy 21 our youngest, recently
got married to Kevin Amrich of Hawaii. Kevin will soon be entering
the Air Force and we support there decision 100%. Amy just finished
her Associates degree and is working towards her 4 year degree.
We are very proud of her accomplishment. They both have been working
hard to get a good start down there road of life together. Evelyn
and I are very proud of them all. We also have two yellow labs,
Daisy 9, and Buffy 3, whom are key family members. We enjoy their
company very much, and they help us through life’s tough times.
Evelyn is a very successful Dental Assistant of 20 years and the
office manager and backbone of our family Guiding business. I am
a recently retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant after 25 very
busy years of service. I have always believed if you are passionate
about what you do in life it is easy to put 30 hours in a 24 hour
day. We have lived in many states, and I have traveled to more countries
I can list, and to more places then I can ever remember. It was
a great adventure for us, and it has taught us that family is what
matters most in life.
I grew up in Dillon Montana and have been a hunter since the age
of 12. Hunting and Outdoor Adventure have been a passion ever since.
I have been very lucky to have hunted in various states over the
last 30 years. I started my guiding career path in Alaska in 1997
and enjoyed it so much that I decided to start my own guide service.
I have had many successful hunts and met some great people along
the way. I must admit, I have had some hard lessons, but that is
all part of growing with a new business. My guiding started in Alaska
and has spread to Nebraska, Kansas and I have guided some in Colorado
and soon to guide in Montana as well. The species I have hunted
are Sheep, Mountain Goat, Moose, Brown Bear, Grizzly Bear, and Black
Bear, 3 types of Deer, Elk and Turkeys.
I believe and live the following: practicing our Faith, helping
others, treating people how you want to be treated, the Core Values
of Integrity first, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All Things
We Do, Air Force Chief’s Oath that I took, and my word is
my bond. I have been very blessed with a great family, extremely
supportive and loving wife, and having had an Air Force career many
never get to, and now being able to live my dream of being a full
time Guide and Outfitter.
