"I took my 60" moose the first day of the hunt. I took my 9'– plus grizzly a few hours into the hunt. Now I come back fishing every year."

Alaska Hunting Guides

Jerry Austin, owner of Austin’s Alaska Hunting Adventures leads of team of highly knowledgeable and licensed Alaska hunting guides with over 70 years of collective Alaska hunting success. "Fair chase" Alaska hunting is the operative phrase to describe how we hunt. If a hunter happens to collect a record book animal, there will never be a question about its legitimacy.

Alaska "Class A" Hunting Guide Assistants

Class A and assistant Alaska hunting guides are the backbone of our professional Alaska hunting operation. At present Austin's' Alaska Hunting Adventures has up to 3 Alaska hunting guides depending on the season. Two are lifelong Alaskans and the third has lived/guided in the state for over 30 years.

Even though the assistant hunting guide may be 100 miles away, everyone gets together on VHF base station radios at night to check on the day's Alaska hunting activity. No airplanes are used in the operation and no communication is ever made from an airplane. All our Alaska hunting guides are also equipped with Satellite phone for your safety and convenience.

About Jerry Austin – Master Alaska Hunting Guide

Following an upbringing that included years of fishing and hunting in both Washington state and Idaho, Jerry Austin found himself in Alaska in the late 60's. Taught by his father Walt (who’s now a spry 90 years of age) Jerry and his younger brother Jim learned from Walt not only the skills needed hunt but also how to conserve the resource base. Walt was one of the first foresters in the NW to introduce selective cutting in place of the more destructive practice of clear cutting.

Alaska Hunting Guides Jerry completed a degree in Political Science at the University of Washington and moved immediately to remote Alaska. There he assisted local governments to become classified as 4th class cities so that they may qualify for power generating facilities.

Now in the 21st century, Jerry is a Master Hunting Guide who has behind him more than 35 years of Alaska guiding and hunting experience in the same region, hunting in the same areas, as well as conserving the regions game for use by future generations. Both the State of Alaska and BLM representatives have commended Jerry for the steady yet notable increases in certain game populations in the areas where his Alaska hunting trips take place.

An example of the commitment that Austin's Alaska Hunting Adventures has shown to local residents is their policy that 90% of all moose meat taken on their tours goes to the residents of the village of St. Michael.

Clara Austin & Family – Alaska Hunting Guide Heritage

Hunting Guide

Clara, A Yupik Eskimo, was raised in St. Michael where sled dogs and hunting were an essential part of her family and communities subsistence lifestyle.

Clara (in addition to fellow musher Ken Hamm) holds the more than 14 year old Kuskowin 300 mile Race for beginning and finishing with each dog still in harness, dropping not one in the villages along the way. This is a remarkable accomplishment especially considering the fact that she placed in the money!

A compliment that Clara is mire than used to hearing from her guests is about her superb cooking skills. Clara and Jerry’s 4 children; Jerrine, Dena, Tony and Charlene are an enormous help to the families Alaska hunting endeavor, as is their son-in-law Glen who is married to Dena and is father to their son Skye Ray Shears.
