Isaac Helmericks

Isaac maybe the newest member of Alaska Wildfowl, but he has the most experience in hunting Alaska's waterfowl. Isaac is a life-long Alaska, growing up on the Colville River on the North Slope. Living in this unique environment Isaac has hand-feed king eiders and had a pet caribou as a child. With his father's guidance Isaac has helped count and band countless birds on the slope and helped raise many of Alaska waterfowl in their aviary. Alaska Wildfowl is honored to have Isaac as a guide on their new Aleutian Island hunts. This is a man that knows the birds and knows how to hunt them, you can expect a great time when you are in the blind with Isaac.
