I just finished my 11th solo moose hunt in Alaska. I was in the bush for 20 days this time. Weather was rainier than usual. I called in several bulls to close range and took some great videos. The wind seemed to favor the bigger bulls, however I did manage to take a beautiful bull on last day. It took two full days to pack out the meat and antlers. So happy to have the health to complete the task.

I had a good solo hunting trip for Alaskan moose. The 19 days in the wilderness allowed me to call in 11 bull moose, only four of which were legal. I did not get one, but the rewards of closeness sometimes are enough. I called in two grizzly bears that liked my cow-in-heat calling.

Traditional Bowhunter, Author, Video Storyteller, Eagle Scout, and more

Mike Mitten lives in Beach Park, Illinois. Woodsmanship was learned early on during camping and fishing trips with his father, and through Boy Scouting where he earned the highest rank of Eagle. Mike received his bachelors’ degree in biology in 1983 from Northern Illinois University, and has made a thirty year career in the pharmaceutical industry. He is currently employed as a dedicated member of a research team that discovers new treatments for cancer. Mike has hunted with the bow and arrow for over 45 years, cutting his bowhunting teeth on the family’s vacation property and surrounding Chequamegon National Forest in north central Wisconsin. His passion for bowhunting whitetail deer is offset each year by annual solo bowhunting adventures to distant western states, Canada, or Alaska. Over the years, Mike has frequently shared his stories and experience by authoring articles published in hunting magazines such as North American Whitetail, Bowhunter, Traditional Bowhunter Magazine, Trad Archers World, Professional Bowhunters Society Magazine, and Bow and Arrow Hunting. He also encourages membership in local and state hunting organizations along with national organizations such as Professional Bowhunters Society, Comptons, and Pope and Young Club.

Mike attributes his life’s passion for the outdoors and bowhunting success to an understanding family. Following a long journey building self-reliance and redefining the definition of failure, Mike has found reward in every hunting trip. He is now able to teach his own children and grandchildren, and help them accept the stewardship and responsibility each generation has for conservation of our natural resources. Mike’s experiences as a solo hunter with a video camera in one hand and a bow in the other have enabled him to contribute as a co-producers of the award winning films Primal Dreams and Essential Encounters(www.brothersofthebow.com). He has published his first book, One with the Wilderness (Passions of a Solo Bowhunter). Mike wrote multiple chapters for a book compiled by Don Higgins called, Real World Whitetail Icons(…in Their Own Words). Mike is a member of Sitka Gear’s Athlete staff where his field tests and suggestions help with improving the functionality of hunting gear and apparel. He is a member of Wensel/Mitten Productions, whose videos and books go a long way to help non-hunters understand our passions for the chase and the true spirit of the hunt. Mike is also on the Professional Bowhunters Society’s speaker’s bureau.
