Our Ptarmigan hunts take place in the beautiful MClaren River Valley in the Interior of Alaska, and are unique in many aspects.  The hunter who chooses this hunt will be treated to a real old Alaskan style of experience.  Visually they will be treated to breath taking vistas of mountains, alpine tundra, glaciers, and rushing rivers.  Hunters have the possibility of photographing grizzle bears, moose, caribou as well as an assortment of small game and birds. 
 
Another unique feature about this concession is that all three species of Ptarmigan, Willow, Rock and Whitetailed ptarmigan.  Willows are found in the willows on the river flats, whitetails in the foothills and the rocks in the shale rocks of the mountains.  Ptarmigan can be shot in all phases of there plumage, summer (September hunts), all the way to the pure white winter plumage (November hunts).
 
The McLaren river bottom is pocked with small pothole lakes that provide food and resting cover for migrating geese, ducks and swans. During the early fall ducks can be shot in the early morning hours followed by ptarmigan in the afternoon, evening.
 
As if the hunting isn't enough, the accommodations are unparalleled  for a concession this remote.  The hunter will be treated with good food, hot showers and satellite TV. while relaxing in the original Old Alaskan McLaren River Lodge.

If you are looking for an old Alaskan experience, and a good bird hunt this is the hunt for you!!!
