Project Description

Jonah’s Alaskan Outfitters, LLC proposes to provide commercial guided hunts for up to 8 clients in the fall season plus 4 clients in the spring (bear) season within Guide Use Area 24-03 and up to 3 clients annually within Guide Use Area 25-02. Animal species hunted would include sheep, grizzly bear, black bear, wolf, moose and caribou . Guiding operations would take place May 15 through October 15, annually. 

The base of commercial operations would be private property located in Wiseman, Alaska. Public land access would be via wheel plane into the backcountry or via foot from the Dalton Highway. The use of horses is requested on all BLM managed lands in the two Guide Use Areas. Horse use would be day use or access through BLM managed lands only and primarily during August in the vicinity of the Chandalar Shelf. Once in the backcountry, all travel on BLM managed lands would be via foot. Campsites would be set up for less than 14 consecutive days in one location. No equipment would be left or stored in the field. Leave No Trace principles would be promoted and adhered to while conducting guiding operations. Proposed permit duration would be 5 years.
