EP 204: Coastal Alaska Adventures

In this deeply personal and inspiring episode of Long Range Pursuit, Keegan McCarthy, founder of Coastal Alaska Adventures, shares his passion for guiding elite hunting expeditions in Southeast Alaska while mentoring his 13-year-old son, Brecklin, who is becoming an integral part of the business. The episode unfolds as a heartfelt journey through the unique, luxury-based hunting experiences offered by Coastal Alaska Adventures—yacht-based hunts for giant coastal brown bears, black bears, Sika blacktail deer, sea ducks, and mountain goats—set against the backdrop of breathtaking Alaskan wilderness. Keegan emphasizes the importance of passing on outdoor ethics, conservation, and adventure to the next generation, highlighting how his family’s lifestyle blends business, fatherhood, and deep connection to nature. The episode culminates in a hands-on gun test session at Gunworks, where Brecklin gets to shoot high-performance rifles like the Nexus and Magnus in calibers including 7 PRC and 375, symbolizing both a personal milestone and a generational legacy. The emotional core lies in the father-son bond, the joy of shared experiences, and the belief that adventure, not just achievement, is what truly matters.
