Transporter Role | Alaska DIY Hunts
The most common question we get asked is if we operate as a guide. To be clear, prior to booking, we are NOT guides. We operate as TRANSPORTERS only. What does this mean for your Alaska DIY hunt? This means that we legally CANNOT conduct the following:
- Guide you in the process of hunting- this means we cannot TELL YOU where to HUNT

- Assist removal of your game from the field, other than by providing the transportation
- Assist in the skinning, de-boning, or butchering of your meat once on board
- Assist in the care of meat while on/off
board - Provide ANY hunting equipment necessary to hunt, remove, or clean game- we do provide fishing gear and processing
Transporter Vs. Guide | Alaska DIY Hunts
Below, we are breaking down the differences between Alaska DIY hunts versus guided options that you have here in Alaska.
Transported Hunts
On an Alaska DIY hunt, a transporter can only assist you in the hunting process as a form of transportation only. They are not legally allowed to assist you in any other aspect of the hunt. Benefits:
- Affordable
- Ability to get to areas that are harder to travel
- Self- Guided- Set your own pace
- Enjoy hunts with additional hunting partners
- Rugged outdoor experience
- All meals provided
- All lodging provided
- All transportation provided
This hunting style is best for hunters who are knowledgeable of the game they are hunting, the terrain in which they will be hunting, proficient with maps/ geographic, and prefers a more rugged hunting experience.

Overall Hunt Success
This brings us to our next topic! Every hunter we speak to wants to know about success! Who wouldn’t? So let’s shed some light on the topic while we are here. We cannot GUARANTEE a KILL. What this means is that YES, you will have the OPPORTUNITY to see animals and possible killing chances, depending on a variety of factors. Your kill guarantee 100% depends on your strategy, technique, and ability. We have no control over this aspect of the hunt.
We highly recommend you research the areas in which you are wanting to hunt for the type of game you are interested in. You can find more information at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Part of success is being prepared.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please feel free to reach out to us at any time. We look forward to hunting with you this season!
