For our Peninsula hunts, we based out of the legendary David River Bear Camp.
Once you've arrived, enjoy comfortable heated cabins situated around the kitchen and dining facilities. Share camaraderie while feasting on home cooked meals. Power and hot showers are available at the beginning and end of the hunt - all within a 35-minute flight of your spike camp in prime Brown Bear and Caribou country. While base camp is plenty comfortable, it is not a Lodge. It was established as a wall tent camp in 1971 and has evolved into numerous comfortable cabins situated around our own airstrip.
When weather allows, you will be loaded in one of our Bush Planes and be shuttled out to your camp. Established campsites are in key positions that have been proven over the past 40 years to produce monster bears and caribou. Premium glassing knobs are located within close walking distance to each camp location. This ensures the least amount of walking and dispersal of scent as possible. Lots of glassing, awareness of the wind, and patience are key to Alaskan hunting. Although you may not have to walk much each day, once you and your guide find a mature animal to stalk, you may be required to cover up to a few miles in order to "cut off" and harvest your animal. Arriving in the best possible physical shape will only increase your chances of success. We recommend each hunter prepare months in advance with a workout and diet regimen to maximize your ability and chance of harvest.  
Each will camp normally consists of two 8x8 or larger Expedition-grade dome tents: 1 for cooking & relaxing in and 1 for sleeping and gear storage. Each camp is provided with cots, sleeping pads, warm sleeping bags, a table, chairs, lantern, heater and lots of good food along with a skilled and personable guide. Satellite phones are in each camp and your guide is on a daily check-in schedule with the base camp. Camps can be re-supplied and even relocated if need be.
For some fall brown bear and caribou hunts, we conduct them directly from our David Rive Base Camp and access to the hunting grounds each day is accomplished via 4 wheeler and we return each night to your cabin for a hot meal and warm cot at night.

For our hunts in the Brooks Range, based out of Bettles Field, all hunting is accomplished from Spike Camps placed by airplane or Jet Boat.
Our Dall Sheep hunts are all backpack style hunts. From Bettles you will be flown out to a base camp in close proximity to where trophy rams have been located. There we will set up a camp consisting bomb shelter style tents. Home cooked meals around or over the camp fire in the old traditional way. Heat, tables, chairs, plenty of food, and enough creature comforts to enjoy without losing the feel of being in the mountains. Good grayling fishing and gold panning is usually available near camp. These camps are normally located anywhere from 1000' - 1500' MSL. You will then hike up into sheep country and set up a small spike camp. After hiking up into sheep country (3500' - 5500'), a spike camp is set up close enough to access the rams easily but not too close to spook them. These camps consist of lightweight expedition-grade backpack tents, backpacking stoves, freeze dried food, other high energy snacks, sleeping bags and pads, along with your rifle and basic personal gear. You will, in most cases, share a tent with your guide but a personal tent can be arranged if need be.
