Alaskan Unguided Barren Ground Caribou HuntsWe're glad you're interested in an Alaskan Hunt. Sunlight Aviation provides Transporter services for the hunter who knows what he wants. We provide economical air taxi rates to get the most ‘bang for your buck.’ The area we fly includes over 200,000 square miles of Alaska's wilderness from the Lake Clark drainage west to the Togiak Hills and north to Kotzebue. For 2006, the Mulchatna herd is of average size and the department of Game and Fish has initiated restrictions to increase the herd size. The Western arctic herd in unit 23 near Kotzebue is nearly a half million animals and there are very few restrictions. We can drop off hunting parties anywhere in Alaska for the best hunting experience. Caribou often travel in herds on these tundra covered hills and both archery and rifle hunters can have a very successful hunt.
