Aaron
bloomquist
Outfitter/Guide
Aaron holds Alaska Registered Guide/Outfitter License #1259, licensed to guide in over half of Alaska's Game Management Units. He spends over half the year guiding hunters and fishermen throughout Alaska. He has an undying desire to spend time in the most remote wilderness in America. When not running Alaska Outfitters Unlimited, Aaron seeks out other premier outfitters in Alaska to work with and explore new areas. Winter brings time for family and conservation. Although Aaron has cut back on volunteer hours since Baby Addie was born, he still stays very dedicated and involved. Aaron has often spent more time in a year volunteering for conservation causes and hunters' advocacy than working. He has averaged over 1000 hours per year on these causes over the last ten years! He has also worked for conservation in his hunting outfit. All of his spring bear hunts since 2008 have been in areas where bears (black, brown, and grizzly) have been identified by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as a limiting the productivity depressed moose and caribou populations. This has accounted for about 200 fewer bears in areas identified for moose recovery. Aaron has averaged 10.9yoa on rams personally guided, over 27" skulls on coastal bears, and over 62" on moose. A record like this only comes from a conservative hunting and a willingness to wait for the most mature animals.
Your Alaska wilderness hunting experience is only as good as the guide that shares you hunt with you. Alaska Outfitters Unlimited founder Aaron Bloomquist has been fortunate to work with and be mentored by some of the most respected outfitters in Alaska. We have in return worked hard to hire and retain the best guides in the business. An outfit is only as good as the professionals that accompany our guests in the field. Our family of staff has included numerous Master Guides and lifetime outdoorsmen. Good guides are sometimes difficult to retain so we make an investment in them and compensate them accordingly. Many of our former guides have went on to establish their own successful outfits. We ask that all of our guides volunteer and contribute to conservation organizations and participate in Alaska big game management. We are always looking for great guides and do everything we can to make them a part of our family. Below we will introduce you to the members of this extended family.
