Hugh Krank came to the great state of Alaska in 1978 to experience hunting big game in Alaska's vast secluded wilderness and became forever hooked on the Great Alaskan Outdoors. After years of awe-inspiring, hunting and fishing adventures, he discovered a region in Alaska that offered tremendous hunting opportunities where no other Guide/Outfitters were operating. In 1985 he started Alaska Bush Adventures, ("ABA") a small family-owned Alaskan Guide and Outfitter Service in a remote and quiet area of Southwestern Alaska. Hugh and his Son Ryan, are both Alaskan Master Guides, and their long-time employees consist of Roy Austin, Registered Guide, and Mike McCarey, Assistant Guide, who have been part of the team since the 90's. They have many years of experience in Guiding for Brown Bear, Black Bear, Caribou, and Moose and all are experienced in calling and raking for Moose plus the habits of all Alaska's big game species, which will give you an edge on harvesting these big game animals.
For over 38 years they have operated their family-owned Guide and Outfitter Service with seasoned Alaskan Guides, respecting the rules and concepts of ethical fair chase hunts. Offering authentic and unforgettable Guided Alaskan Big Game hunting experiences for Moose, Brown/Grizzly Bear, and Black Bear.

HUNTS OFFERED:
MOOSE (Guided)
We offer Guided Alaska Big Game hunts for Alaskan Yukon moose on remote river systems in Southwestern Alaska. Guided clients will hunt from a base camp using Jon boats with jet drive outboard motors. They enable access to the shallow upland river systems with the numerous oxbows and backwater sloughs created from decades of the river's ever-changing channels. These are the kind of areas that bull moose prefer once they start rutting and searching for cow moose. The camps have 15' x 20' wall tents for common use & dining with ample table fare, large 3 burner propane stoves for cooking meals, a wood stove for heat, hot showers, generator power, and much more creature comforts. Hunters sleep in 6-man extreme weather-type tents on full-size cots with sleeping pads plus other types of additional comforts to take advantage of. There are generators for power, a refrigerator/freezer to keep food items fresh, an on-demand hot shower system, and an outhouse toilet. Base camps have satellite phones for communications.
