Horseback Hunts
in
Alaska's Largest
National Park
Wrangell Outfitters invites
you to hunt on horseback in our exclusive
permitted guide area in the largest national
park in the United States, the Wrangell
- St. Elias National Park and Preserve.
From our base of operations at Horsfeld,
we outfit our hunts to the many spike
camps (tents and cabins) in the mountains,
river valleys and glaciers of the Nutzotin
Mountains, home to Dall's sheep, grizzly
bear, moose, caribou, wolf and wolverine.
Each season we take a limited number
of clients into our vast exclusive permitted
area. Our top-quality horses, equipment
and fun-loving competent crew ensure
successful hunting in one of Alaska's
last unspoiled wildernesses.
Historic Horsfeld is a rustic and
comfortable base camp with a central
cookhouse, bathhouse, and tent cabins
for sleeping. All hunts are guided
on a two guides/one client ratio to
maximize hunting time in the field.
We have a satellite telephone for emergency
purposes. All our employees are trained
in emergency response and CPR and we
are fully stocked in first ais supplies.
With a full time cook, meals are generous,
healthy, homestyle with plenty of fresh
food and baked goods. Photography,
bird hunting, fishing and relaxing
round out your hunt with us. Registered
guide Dick Petersen, with thirty years
of experience in the area, will guide
and host your hunt.
The
horses used on the hunts live in the
area year-round. They provide a confident,
comfortable mode of transportation
in the wilderness, as well as a piece
of living history. Using horses for
hunting, while uncommon in most of
the state, has been successful in this
area since the Chisana Gold rush of
1913. Accessible only by air, Horsfeld
is located 350 miles south of Fairbanks
and 350 miles east of Anchorage, at
the headwaters of the Tanana River
on Beaver Creek.
Round-trip transportation from
Fairbanks to Horsfeld is included. Flights to and
from Alaska and accomodations can be
booked for you upon request. We would
be happy to suggest or arrange other
activities while you're in Alaska...
just ask us. Prices of the hunts are
all inclusive once you are in Horsfeld.
That includes guides, transportation,
trophy care, food and accomodations.
Tags and hunting licenses are available
at Horsfeld. All of us; guides, cook,
and wranglers are seasoned Alaskan
outdoorsmen and women. We're dedicated
to working hard so that your time with
us is successful, entertaining and
ultimately memorable. Looking forward
to hearing from you.
