Western Alaska’s GMU19 - Caribou - Usually found in the remote tundra of western Alaska, caribou are majestic wanderers on whatever range they are found. Subsistence hunting may take place year-round, however the sport season usually begins in August and ends at the end of September. The heart of caribou range in August and September is "Game Management Unit" #19. GMU19 contains the Big River Herd and scattered herds located between the Mulchatna River in the south, to the North Fork of the Kuskokwim River in the north. Most hunters see from 20 to 500 caribou per day and it's not uncommon to see impressive herds of several thousand, no matter where you hunt. Guided and unguided hunts are available.

Denali Preserve, Alaska – Grizzly Bear - Alaska has an estimated 30,000 brown bears statewide. Grizzlies generally live in high country above timberline where they dig for roots and ground squirrels, eat berries, and actively hunt caribou and other wildlife. Bear hunting seasons are held in both spring and fall in some areas but only in fall in other areas. Custom guides offer hunting in and around the Denali Preserve, which is an extension of Denali National Park. Hunting in the preserve is allowed, hunting in the park is not. Nonresident brown bear hunters are required to have a guide or be accompanied by an Alaska resident who is a relative.
