About Us

Ralph Miller

Ralph Miller grew up in Virginia reading and dreaming about Alaska. Hunting the hills and woods of Virginia was a great way to grow up, but Alaska and her big game left a hunger that only could be satisfied by being there.

In 1972 Ralph got the chance to move to Alaska with his family. Now with more than 30 years of hunting, fishing & trapping in the wildness of Alaska the love for Alaska’s outdoors is stronger than ever. In 1982, Ralph founded Deltana Outfitters with the goal of building the very finest guiding service in Alaska. Deltana Outfitters is built on a simple philosophy of honesty, integrity and hard work. Ralph and all the guides at Deltana Outfitters give each & every client 100% effort.
