AFI is hosting 10 participants on our 2023 Priority Landscape Event to float the "Sag" river in Northern Alaska. The purpose of this event is to bring awareness to several Priority landscapes in Alaska for BHA.
Participants are required to provide their own transportation to Fairbanks AK Airport and their own Alaska hunting license/tags. We have a limited budget to assist with harvest packing, meat transport, and hide/skull preservation.
This hunt targets Alaska’s Western Arctic Caribou Herd a portion of the zone where the Dalton Hwy runs north, parallel to the Sagavanirktok River. Interestingly, there is a 5-mile buffer between the highway and the unrestricted tundra that is an “archery only” area. The rolling-tundra breaks into willow-belts skirting the banks of the “Sag”. Transportation to the hunt area would entail driving nine hours from Fairbanks, AK along the Dalton Highway ******************of ****************** there ***************** is a gravel bank where boats can be launched. This location would be the insert and extraction point. A boat ride would convey the hunting group upriver, beyond the archery buffer. Hunting would take place over a 40-mile float back to the same point from which they started. The hunt area is encapsulated within Alaska’s Brooks Range, often regarded as the wildest place in North America.
