[ About ]

Wildman Hunt was built by hunters, bush pilots, and adventurers who know Alaska not from a map, but from a lifetime lived deep in its backcountry. For over 50 years, we’ve guided sportsmen through some of the wildest terrain on the planet—where success is earned, stories are made, and respect for the land runs as deep as the rivers that cut through it.

Legendary Alaska MASTER Guide and Outfitter, Gary "Butch" King

Gary “Butch” King Jr., born in Alaska before statehood, began guiding at age 12 and spent more than five decades shaping Alaska’s modern hunting legacy. A Master Guide, lifelong bush pilot, and former President of the Alaska Professional Hunters Association, Butch guided hunters across millions of acres of the Alaska Peninsula and led them to some of the world’s most celebrated brown bear and moose trophies. In 2023, he and his wife Kathy passed on Wildman Lodge, preserving a tradition built on integrity, stewardship, and adventure.
