Our Guides

We’re proud to work with some of the most notable nature-lovers and bow hunters in the region. Here are our hunting guides in Fairbanks-North Star, AK:

  • stan parkerson

    Stan Parkerson

    Denali Hunts was started in 1987 by owner/operator Stan Parkerson, as an air taxi that catered primarily to drop-hunts for bowhunters. The bowhunting theme is something that is close to Stan’s heart. He started bowhunting small game as a young boy with his father in Ohio. At age 13, he moved to Alaska and his love of bowhunting only grew. In 1978 he killed a black bear—Stan’s first big game animal—with a bow. Soon to follow were moose, caribou and Dall sheep. Now the list has grown to 14 species.
