PTARMIGAN HUNTING

The Willow Ptarmigan is Alaska’s State Bird and our valley, which is named ‘Ptarmigan Valley’ is called that for a reason. Enjoy snow machine hunts for these beautiful winter birds as they flock up in the hundreds.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This is a relaxing, easy hunting experience available for all ages.  A great way to start off a young kid or good practice at honing in your skills a with scope or shotgun.  These birds are not your typical ‘on-the-wing’ type shooting.  Although you can use a shotgun (typically a .410 or 20 gauge), these birds don’t usually ‘spook up’ and fly away.  The Ptarmigan stay on the ground a lot and it is actually quite sporting to use a scoped or open-sights .22 magnum rifle.  Regardless of your weapon choice, you will have a blast as you navigate your own snow machine through the willows and up the creeks looking for these beautiful birds that sometimes gather in the hundreds.

Rates vary depending on your length of stay with us. Please contact us for more information or to plan your adventure.
