Shawn Nittmann and sons, Bryor and Brady, enjoyed a successful DIY Caribou Hunt in the Western Arctic of Alaska in September, 2025. Come see their slides and videos and hear them describe planning, preparation, cost, travel and logistics, camp and hunt highlights and outcomes, including what worked and what didn’t. They’ll be happy to answer questions after the talk. As a result of the 2025 experience, they are planning to return to Alaska in 2027.
Shawn Nittmann has hunted, fished and enjoyed the outdoors in Arizona and Colorado all his life. He and his wife raised sons Bryor and Brady in Flagstaff and brought them up to enjoy the outdoors. Shawn is a retired CCC student affairs administrator and part-time Biology Instructor. He continues to teach outdoor related courses for CCC’s Community Education program, and is trained as a Wilderness EMT. His next class is Winter Outdoor Survival Skills. As a volunteer with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Unit he serves as a member of the board of directors, an operations leader, and a navigation and survival instructor where he has completed over 200 Search and Rescue missions.
Bryor Nittmann spends time hunting and fishing around Flagstaff, Colorado, and Old Mexico. Bryor was a Wildland Firefighter and Hot Shot for the USFS for 10 years before joining the Flagstaff Fire Department’s Wildland Division as an engineer. He also owns and operates his own tree cutting and removing business and leases UTV’s to the USFS. He and his family live in Flagstaff and enjoy all things outdoors.
Brady Nittmann now does most of his hunting and fishing in Oregon, near Eugene. Brady is a skilled river runner who plies the Willamette River and its major tributaries in his drift boat as his chief outdoor recreation.
