EnglishWhat Types of Guided Hunts Does Top Gun Treks Offer in Alaska?
Updated
Top Gun Treks offers guided hunts for moose, brown bear, black bear, Dall sheep, and wolf in Alaska, plus baited bear hunts and combination hunts. The operation is based in Wasilla and run by registered guide Bob Jewett, and its hunts take place in wilderness areas reached by airplane in Game Management Units 14, 16, and 20. Hunters choose among these options based on species, season, and whether they want a fully guided or partly unguided experience.
Moose Hunts
Moose hunting is the operation's headline offering. Top Gun Treks states that its hunters have experienced a 90% success rate over the last ten years in what it describes as one of the most productive moose areas in Alaska. Hunts are timed around the pre-rut and rut, when guides report seeing multiple legal bulls and many close encounters.
This option suits hunters who want a high-odds, single-species trip and are comfortable with rut-season timing and remote, fly-in access.
Bear Hunts
Bear hunting comes in several forms:
- Brown bear: fully guided hunts for the prized Alaskan brown bear.
- Black bear: both guided and unguided hunts.
- Baited hunts: dedicated brown bear baited hunts and black bear baited hunts, each with its own details and pricing page on the site.
- Seasons: hunts are conducted in both spring and fall bear seasons.
The guided-versus-unguided split matters most for black bear. A hunter with backcountry experience may prefer the unguided option, while a first-time Alaska bear hunter will likely want a fully guided hunt. Baited hunts are a distinct choice for hunters who want to hunt over an established bait site rather than spot-and-stalk.
Dall Sheep Hunts
Sheep hunts take place in guide areas the operation describes as having excellent sheep populations, so hunters often see many sheep during the trip. Sheep hunting is typically the most physically demanding of the offerings, and the site's gear list page is the place to check required equipment before committing.
Combination Hunts
Because sheep, moose, and bears can appear in the same field of view in the operation's area, many hunters choose a combo hunt. This is the efficient option for someone making a single fly-in trip who wants more than one species opportunity rather than a dedicated single-species hunt.
Wolf
Wolf is listed among the species the operation guides for. The site does not present wolf as a standalone hunt page the way it does for moose, sheep, and bear, so treat it as a secondary or add-on opportunity and confirm details directly.
