We think these three hunts should be at the top of your list.
Wolf Hunt With Horses or Snowmobiles (Aug-Apr)
These hunts are conducted primarily by snowmobile in GMU’s 13 and 20. I run three different traplines encompassing over three hundred miles. If the hunter would like an opportunity to harvest a Lynx or Wolverine they will have to come join me in the dead of the Alaskan winter (December – February). I won’t promise warm weather but I will guarantee you some of the most scenic snowmobiling on earth and lots of it!
Wolf hunting Alaska style is always rewarding. We will do some calling for predators as well as setting traps and snares in locales that are likely spots to produce results. Typically we will snowmobile between 50-150 miles a day in search of Wolves, Wolverine, Lynx, Coyote and Fox. If you are looking to only do wolf hunting in Alaska then later in the winter is the prime time.
We will stay at several of my cabins for two and three day stints looking for predators to call and/or trap. These hunts have become increasingly popular over the years so much so that I can’t even break away to attend a show to promote my business. If the hunter wants to harvest some of the most luxurious fur on the face of the earth then this hunt is for you.

Drop Camp Backcountry Hunt for Black, Wolverine and/or Wolf
I offer a limited number of unguided hunts in southwestern Alaska. Unguided hunts should not be taken lightly. In my career, I have witnessed several experienced hunters/outdoorsmen be overwhelmed by the Alaskan wilderness. I have also seen several hunters come out early because they were not physically and mentally ready for the challenge. Don't let this happen to you.
That being said, an unguided hunt in Alaska is one of the most rewarding hunts an avid hunter can experience. You should consider this type of hunt if you are in excellent physical fitness, have a “can-do” attitude, practical hunting experience, and possess excellent wilderness survival skills such as map reading, first aid, camping, and orienteering. When done, you will be able to say that you guided yourself hunting on the Last Frontier.
I will fully outfit you with enough food and gear for the duration of your hunt. I supply modern gear in excellent working condition. I will provide a gear list for you. When you are compiling your gear, do not be tempted to bring the same kind and quantity of gear you would take on a Rocky Mountain elk hunt. Don't be afraid to call me with questions like this and I will do my best to get you squared away.
Non-guided hunter groups will need to make a $500 gear deposit to cover lost or damaged gear. If the gear is returned and not damaged, the full gear deposit will be refunded. Non-guided hunters must also view a video about legal animals and meat care. I will send you the video and a form to sign and send into the State of Alaska. You cannot go into the field until the State receives your signed form.
Fully outfitted unguided hunts allow you to take moose, wolverine, wolf, and black bear.

About Our Wolf Hunts in Alaska
Most important info about these hunts—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.
Summary & Terrain
Alaska offers some of the most authentic and remote wolf-hunting opportunities in North America, set against vast boreal forests, tundra plateaus, and snow-covered mountain slopes. Wolves range widely through spruce and mixed‐wood country, following prey like moose and caribou across hundreds of miles of backcountry. Snow cover and frozen rivers can actually concentrate wolf travel routes, making track‐and‐call tactics especially effective. Whether accessed by snowmachine in deep winter or by boot in late season, hunters should be prepared for long days in open, often wind-scoured terrain punctuated by stands of dense cover.
Wolf hunts in Alaska demand a high level of physical fitness, cold-weather preparedness, and patience. Guided trips typically use snowmobiles to access extensive traplines or drift-ice haul roads, covering 50–150 miles per day in search of fresh tracks. Predatory calling, strategic snare sets, and camouflage camps are standard tactics—hunters may alternate between spot‐and‐call from a hidden blind and walking in on promising sign. Unguided options exist but require advanced wilderness survival skills, proficiency in navigation and first aid, and strict gear discipline. Regardless of format, success hinges on attention to detail, timing your setup around known wolf travel corridors, and adapting quickly to changing weather and snow conditions.
Wolf hunts in Alaska are based from a mix of rustic cabins and remote tent camps. Cabin accommodations typically include a basic bed and are heated by wood-burning stoves, while tent camps offer more mobile setups with simple sleeping platforms or cots and minimal built-in climate control. Hunters should be prepared for self-sufficiency in variable conditions, bringing personal gear to supplement heating and insulation as needed.
The prime season for wolf hunting in most regions runs from mid-winter through early spring, when heavy snow simplifies tracking and den‐site activity increases. Many outfitters stage multi‐day cabin camps or mobile spike camps, providing heating, food supplies, and trap‐line support. Harvested pelts are highly prized and usually skinned and cared for on site, with guides often assisting with initial preparation. While wolves are the main focus, hunters may also encounter opportunities to tag wolverine, lynx, fox, or coyote. Proper licensing, adherence to federal and state predator regulations, and respect for safety briefings are essential components of a successful Alaska wolf hunt.
Wolf hunts in Alaska are priced on average at about $8,200. Most outfitters offer multi-day, guided trips that include meals, field care and prep of pelts and skulls, and transport of trophies to a processor. Basic packages at the lower end of the range generally use tent camps and shorter itineraries, while mid-level hunts upgrade to heated cabins, longer durations, and snowmobile or ATV access. Premium options may add small-plane transfers to remote zones, extended time afield in prime wolf habitat, and fully outfitted spike camps. All hunts are one-on-one guided, making them suitable for both experienced and first-time wolf hunters.
FAQs
What you need to know before you book:
How challenging is it to hunt wolves in Alaska?
Wolf hunts in Alaska tend to be physically demanding and require a good level of self-sufficiency. Camps are often in remote areas, reached by snowmachine or float plane, and accommodations range from wood-heated cabins to basic tents. Hunters should be ready to endure cold temperatures, deep snow, and long stake-outs at bait sites or calling stations. Guides help with logistics and tracking, but you’ll need stamina for hikes, equipment management, and extended periods in the field.
What methods are commonly used to hunt wolves in Alaska?
The two primary methods are predator calling and baiting. Guides set bait stations or use scent lures to draw wolves in, then position hunters in elevated stands or portable blinds. Audio callers playing distress or territorial calls are also effective—wolves investigate from a distance, making a precise shot possible. In deeper snow, snowmachines may be used to follow tracking lines or reach fresh sign. Dogs are rarely used in these coastal and interior hunts.
What time of year is best for hunting wolves in Alaska?
Late winter, typically January through March, is the prime season for wolf hunts in Alaska. Consistent snow cover makes tracking easier and bait sites more reliable. Cold temperatures help preserve bait and keep wolves returning. Some outfitters run hunts into early April when denning behavior begins, but peak activity and access are best during the heart of winter.
