Born and raised in rural Alaska, it seemed a natural step for me to focus my life career on being in the outdoors and doing what I value most: hunting, fishing and flying people around our wonderful country.

I began my guiding career in 1974, fresh out of high-school, guiding for various guides and outfitters in Alaska.  In 1983, I started Adams Guiding Service, settling in an area of Western Alaska that would become my base camp for the next 28 years.


We are a family operation. My brother Bill and my sister Sherry have been guides alongside me for the past 25 years.  In 1999, Charlie, my wife, joined us full time as the camp cook, licensed vendor and co-owner.  Also among our family are our golden retrievers; our camp ambassadors!

While Adams Guiding Service is located in the heart of the Kuskokwim and Killbuck mountains, our rustic wilderness lodge has a special “touch of home.”  Every client is special in our camp and we treat each person like they were our own family.

Western Alaska, home to Adams Guiding Service, offers some of the BEST hunting adventures and opportunities in Alaska for moose, brown bear, black bear and grizzly. I know the area extensively and I am committed to get you where the game is!

Camp Life
The base for all hunting and fishing is our main camp and airstrip on a remote river in the Kuskokwim Mountains, about 60 miles south of Aniak, Alaska. We have a comfortable main lodge building where we provide delicious home-cooked meals and comfortable, casual accommodations.  Main camp also includes wall tents, a meat-shed and an indoor, hot shower.

Once you arrive at main camp you will be on a trajectory to be at a spike camp by nightfall. This plan is so that you are legal to hunt the next day.  Following a hot meal and the purchasing of your licenses and tags, you and your guide will be flown to your spike camp. On some occasions you may stay at main camp for your hunting opportunities.

Location
Nestled within the Kuskokwim Mountains, Adams Guiding Service is surrounded by three mountain ranges and lies near the convergence of three rivers.  Tundra surrounds our camp with most of our hunting adventures either leading up into the mountain ranges or along the rivers.
