What Is Top Gun Treks and What Does the Website Offer?

Updated

Top Gun Treks is a family-owned Alaska hunting guide and outfitter based in Wasilla, Alaska, owned and operated by registered guide Bob Jewett. The website presents fully guided, fair-chase big game hunts in wilderness areas of Alaska accessed by airplane, covering moose, Dall sheep, brown bear, black bear, and wolf. It is a service and trip-planning site for hunters researching guided hunts, not a booking marketplace or general travel site.

Who Runs It and Where It Operates

  • Owner/operator: Bob Jewett, described as a lifetime Alaska resident, registered Alaska hunting guide, bush pilot, and taxidermist with over 40 years of hunting and guiding experience in the state.
  • Base: Wasilla, Alaska.
  • Hunt areas: Thousands of square miles in Alaska game management units 14, 16, and 20, described as non-motorized wilderness with trophy-quality game populations.
  • Capacity: The site states Bob limits the number of hunters scheduled into camps each year to maintain hunt quality.

What Hunts Are Offered

Species What the site says
Moose Described as one of the most productive moose areas in Alaska, with a stated 90% hunter success rate over the last ten years and multiple legal bulls seen during pre-rut and rut
Brown bear Fully guided hunts for the "prized Alaskan brown bear," in spring and fall seasons; baited hunts offered
Black bear Guided and unguided hunts, including baited hunts
Dall sheep Guide areas described as having excellent sheep populations; combo hunts available
Wolf Listed among the species guided hunts are offered for

A notable point for trip planning: the site says sheep, moose, and bears can sometimes be seen in the same field of view, which is why many hunters choose a combo hunt.

What the Website Contains

The navigation and page content point to these sections:

  • Our Guides — background on the guiding team
  • Hunt Info — species-specific pages for black bear, brown bear (including baited hunts), Alaska moose, and Dall sheep
  • Gear List — equipment guidance for hunts
  • Videos — hunt footage
  • Prices — general pricing, plus separate price pages for black bear baited hunts and brown bear baited hunts
  • Taxidermy — relevant given the owner's taxidermy background
  • Contact — phone contact at 907-355-4778

How to Use the Site to Decide

  1. Start with Hunt Info for the species you're considering, and read the baited-hunt pages if bear hunting is the goal — the site treats baited and non-baited options as distinct products.
  2. Check the Gear List before inquiring, since hunts are conducted in remote fly-in wilderness and equipment requirements affect planning.
  3. Review the Prices pages for the specific hunt type; the site separates general pricing from baited bear hunt pricing rather than listing one rate.
  4. Call 907-355-4778 to confirm availability, season timing, and current rates — the site presents pricing pages but does not publish booking or deposit terms in the material available here.

What to Keep in Mind

  • The 90% moose success rate is the operator's own stated figure over a ten-year period, not an independently verified statistic.
  • All hunts are described as fair chase in non-motorized wilderness accessed by airplane, so physical readiness and gear compliance matter more than they would on road-accessible hunts.
  • The site does not state whether prices are per person, what deposits are required, or whether licenses and tags are included; those details need to come from direct contact.
