Klutsch's Katmai Guide Service
Come, enjoy the wonders of Alaska hunting with us. Est. 1976
We offer Alaskan Big Game Hunting at its finest. And the reputation to back it.
What distinguishes me, my wife Carol, and my son Joey is that we are year-round residents of the Bristol Bay region for over 40 years. We do not base our operations out of state or claim residency only to spend most of the year elsewhere. We really live here, understand and care about the resource, and want to see it preserved for future generations. I truly enjoy the opportunity for every future season as does my son. It is my goal to give you the best experience possible and teach you about our amazing area and way of life.
Katmai Guide Service also offers fully guided hunts on federally permitted lands for Brown Bear, Mountain Goat & Sitka Black Tail Deer on Kodiak Island. Brown Bear and Moose hunts are available in Becharof National Wildlife Refuge (located at the southern border of Katmai National Park) and Aniakchak National Monument & Meshik River Valley of the Alaskan Peninsula. Joe became a Registered Guide in 1980 and earned his Master Guide License in 1992. He has served as president of Alaska Professional Hunters Association for eight years and is the recipient of the Safari Club International Professional Hunter of the Year award (1996), the Dallas Safari Club Professional Hunter of the Year award (1998), and the Wild Sheep Foundation Frank Golata Outstanding Outfitter Award in 1999. If you are looking for the first class fishing or hunting trip that the limited access of federally permitted land offers or to simply experience the wildlife and wonders of remote Alaska, Joe Klutsch and Katmai Guide Service is the operation you want to book with. Exposing family and youth to outdoor activities in Alaska will provide an experience which insures life long respect for nature, personal bonding and special knowledge that cannot come from the television alone. Sharing an experience with us will do far more than just provide entertainment; it will establish a life long memory that will shape a person's perception of nature and of being.
For many years we have provided strong support for the world's leading hunting and conservation organizations. Such as the Dallas Safari Club, Safari Club International, Wild Sheep Foundation, Weatherby Foundation International & Conservation Force, IPHA and more. These organizations represent who we are and what we beleive in.
