Family-run fair-chase hunting outfit since 1976, guiding brown bear, Dall sheep, moose, and goat under second-generation master guide Joey Klutsch.
Katmai Guide Service is a family operation based in King Salmon, family-owned since 1976. Master guide Joey Klutsch is a second-generation guide who grew up in the profession working alongside his father Joe Klutsch, who began guiding in the early 1970s and founded the business.
The outfit runs wilderness fair-chase hunts across three regions: brown bear, mountain goat, and Sitka blacktail deer on Kodiak Island; Dall sheep, grizzly, caribou, and wolf in the Brooks Range; and moose, brown bear, and wolf on the Alaska Peninsula. It holds federal permits as an authorized concessioner in Aniakchak National Preserve and a special-use permit holder in the Kodiak, Alaska Peninsula, and Arctic national wildlife refuges.
Background as described by the operator on their own website.
$18,000–$25,000 (brown bear); $10,000 (moose)
Alaska hunting seasons vary significantly by Game Management Unit and species. Confirm current seasons with ADF&G and book well in advance — quality outfitters fill 6–18 months ahead for peak species. Non-residents must be accompanied by a licensed guide or qualifying Alaska resident for most big game species.
