Personal Guide
Built By Alaska; Proven in the Field
Some guides grew up in the industry. Ryan Leonhardt grew up in the wild. A Minnesota farm kid who chose Alaska at 18 and never left, he has spent over three decades fishing Bristol Bay, hunting the Alaska Peninsula, and building the kind of deep field knowledge that only comes from actually living out here. He knows this land the way most people will never know anything.
When you hunt with Northman Forage you are not booking a package — you are stepping into a way of life. Ryan is in the field with you every single day. The cabins are his. The territory is his. The experience is personal from the first conversation to the last handshake. A handful of hunters per season. That is exactly how he wants it.
This Is What You Came For
Coastal Brown Bear
The Hunt of a Lifetime Has an Address
There is no bigger, more challenging brown bear hunt in North America than the coastal Alaska Peninsula. These are not the inland grizzlies of the Rockies. Coastal brown bears feed on salmon all summer and come into fall season massive, unpredictable, and incredibly aware of their surroundings. You will hunt them on foot — across tidal flats, through alder thickets, and over open tundra — in some of the most demanding terrain on the continent.
Northman Forage hunts coastal brown bear on 600,000 acres of exclusive Alaska Peninsula state land. No other hunters. No road access. Fly-in only via Branch River Air from King Salmon. This hunt runs in the fall on odd years and spots are extremely limited. If a coastal brown bear is on your list — and it should be — this is where that hunt happens.

ALASKA-YUKON MOOSE
The Largest Deer on Earth in Its Largest Form
The Alaska-Yukon moose is the largest subspecies of moose in the world — and hunting them in their home country is something that has to be experienced to be understood. First light on a private lake, a bull standing in the shallows, the kind of silence that only exists this far from the nearest road. This is what Alaska moose hunting looks like when it is done right.
We hunt moose in private lake country with float plane access — areas that see virtually no hunting pressure year after year. Ryan knows where the bulls are and how to get you there quietly. This is a calling hunt at its finest, in a country that rewards patience and punishes noise. Alaska-Yukon moose hunting does not get better than this.

Grey Wolf
The Ghost of the Alaska Tundra
The Alaska Peninsula gray wolf is one of the most challenging and rewarding predator hunts available anywhere in North America. They are intelligent, elusive, and perfectly adapted to the vast open country they call home. Most hunters spend years in Alaska without ever laying eyes on one in the wild. When you do, everything changes.
Wolf hunting at Northman Forage is available as a standalone pursuit or as an addition to an existing bear or moose hunt. The territory we operate in holds healthy wolf populations across open tundra that gives you the visibility and the opportunity that tight timber country simply cannot.

The Details That Set Us Apart
Your Own Private Territory
600,000 acres of exclusive Alaska Peninsula state land. No other hunting parties. No road access. No overlap. When you are out there, it belongs to you.
Fly-In Access Only. No Roads.
You arrive via Branch River Air charter out of King Salmon. The moment that plane lifts off the runway the rest of the world disappears. That is exactly the point.
Cabin Based. Not Tent Based
Every camp — including our most remote — has an established cabin with hot and cold running water. You hunt hard all day and sleep well every night. No roughing it required.
Ryan Is With You Every Day
This is not an operation where you meet the guide on day one and get handed off to an assistant. Ryan is in the field with you from first light to last. Every single day.
The Sherp Changes Everything
Our Sherp N1200 amphibious vehicle goes where no other machine on earth will follow. Tundra, rivers, tidal flats — your mobile base camp goes with you deep into country most hunters only dream about reaching.
Limited Hunters. By Design
We do not maximize bookings. We maximize experiences. A small number of hunters per season means Ryan’s full attention, unhurried days in the field, and a hunt that feels nothing like a production line.
Harvest Handled Start to Finish
From the field to your front door. Hides are processed by professional expediters before you leave Alaska. Wild salmon from our commercial operation shipped frozen directly to your home on the date of your choosing.
