Alaska is ideal for almost any hunter because it offers a wide range of animals you can hunt. However, you can’t go hunting in Alaska if you don’t chase one of the biggest animals in the world – Yukon moose.

If Yukon moose doesn’t attract you, you can hunt anything from bison, wolves, black bears to moose, and even grizzly bears.

You can get to Alaska by air, land, or even sea. However, the most common way of getting to Alaska is by air, landing directly to the Anchorage International Airport.

Things to Keep in Mind

One thing to keep in mind is that there are no trains to Alaska. Therefore, you should solely rely on air, land, or sea transportation services.

Also, keep in mind that hunting in Alaska requires physical preparation due to the terrain and moving throughout the hunting trip – along with the mental preparation for responsible hunting.
