Traveling To Alaska
After arriving in Anchorage, you will most likely spend the night in town and then be flown down the Peninsula the following morning. Below is a list of recommended Hotels in town.
You will need to head to Merrill Field Airport on the North end of Anchorage and take a Lake Clark Air commuter/charter flight to Nelson Lagoon. You will most likely be sharing this plane with some of our other hunters in camp. Once in Nelson Lagoon you will then be driven 18 miles down the Bering Sea beach to our camp.
Recommend Accommodations in Anchorage:
**Arrive at Base Camp 2 days prior to start of hunt (allow for weather)
After arriving into Fairbanks, AK on your commercial flight, you then have to get a Wright Air Service commuter flight up to Bettles. Most of the time, because most commercial flights arrive into Fairbanks late, you will have to spend one night in Fairbanks and then catch the 1 1/2 hour flight the next day to Bettles. A list of local hotels can be found below. Wright Air Service (907) 474-0502 is located on the "East Ramp" at Fairbanks International and most all taxi, Uber, and shuttle drivers know where it is. Wright Air services Bettles twice a day, except Sundays, with Cessna Caravans. A Mountain Monarchs representative will meet you at the airport in Bettles upon your arrival.
Accommodation options in Fairbanks include:
**Arrive at Base Camp 2 days prior to start of hunt (allow for weather)
Unless otherwise arranged, we provide all sleeping bags, sleeping pads, and cots for most hunts.
On Sheep Hunts its best to bring your own "lightweight" bag and pad.
Recommended Weapons & Caliber For Your Hunt
Rifles: your rifle should be equipped with a weather proof scope and dialed in 2” high at 100 yards or zeroed in at 200 yards. Synthetic stocks and Stainless Steel barrels and actions perform best in the inclement weather. If you handload, be sure all your ammo will chamber and eject properly. Practice as much as possible in all shooting positions: off sticks, prone off a pack, seated, kneeling, etc. Silhouettes are especially good practice. Be sure scope mounts and all screws are checked for tightness. A good sling is worth its weight in gold.
Recommended Calibers:
.338 Winchester mag - 250 grain minimum
.375 H&H mag - *preferred caliber* – 270 grain minimum
.375 Ruger - 270 grain minimum
.416 Rem Mag – 350 or 400 grain bullets
Bullets – No Solids for Bears!!! Swift A-Frame and Barnes Triple Shock work best on the big bruins.
Rifle: similar to our brown bear hunting recommendation, your rifle should be equipped with a weather proof scope and dialed in 2” high at 100 yards or zeroed in at 200 yards. Synthetic stocks and Stainless Steel barrels and actions perform best in the inclement weather. If you handload, be sure all your ammo will chamber and eject properly. Practice as much as possible in all shooting positions: off sticks, prone off a pack, seated, kneeling, etc. Silhouettes are especially good practice. Be sure scope mounts and all screws are checked for tightness. A good sling is worth its weight in gold. We highly recommend the heavier belted magnum calibers in a bolt action with a minimum bullet weight of 220 grains.
We highly recommend the heavier belted magnum calibers in a bolt action with a minimum bullet weight of 220 grains.
The .300 Winchester Mag, .300 RUM, .33 Noselr, .338 Winchester Mag, .375 H&H Mag, and .375 Ruger are all well suited for our type of shooting situations. Be sure and remove grease and oil from your action and bolt assembly!!! Check all screws for tightness. If you handload check to be sure all cartridges will chamber and eject properly.
Bullets – No Solids and NO BERGER BULLETS!!! Many years and instances of poor bullet performance and wounded game tell us not to use these for Bears or Moose!!! Swift A-Frame, Barnes Triple Shock, Nosler Partition, Hornady Dangerous Game work best on these big animals.
Rifle: Your rifle should be a light weight bolt action, scoped with good quality optics and dialed in 2 inches high at 100 yards. You should be adept at hitting targets out to 350 yards. If you handload, be sure all your ammo will chamber and eject properly. Practice as much as possible in all shooting positions. Silhouettes are especially good practice. Be sure scope mounts and all screws are checked for tightness. A good sling is worth its weight in gold.
Recommended Caliber: On Sheep and Caribou, we recommend .270 or larger calibers, with the flat shooting characteristics of the .30 caliber magnums being the most commonly used. Examples: .270 Win; .280 Rem; 7mm Mag; .28 Nosler; .300 WSM; .300 Win. Mag.; .300 RUM. etc
Bullets: NO BERGER BULLETS!!! Many years and instances of poor bullet performance tell us not to use them for Alaskan game. Hornady ELD, Swift Sirocco, & Nosler all make great long range shooting bullets that perform best on the Alaskan Game.
