    5 things about you.

    I don't know, Nick - that caribou you shot in 2010 when we hunted Alaska together is still the biggest caribou I have seen taken - nothing inept about that!

    2022 Kotzebue Caribou hunt booked

    What Bambistew said. Sounds like they might have hey fu#$%ed a whole bunch of caribou hunters this year who also booked through an Expediter. Check the Caribou forum over on Rokslide and check the Unit 23 Reports thread, most of the stories are there.

    Dreams Can Come True

    Sounds like your friends have experience hunting with 40 Mile Air, so this is probably unnecessary, but just in case... Tok is a busy little town in August and September, lots of residents and non-residents alike coming through to hunt moose or caribou. If you plan on staying in Tok the night...

    Best bear cartridge

    I don't care what you use. Please take lots of pics and share them later, if it's somewhere in Alaska you haven't been yet but want to go, I'm betting it's picturesque.

    Guitar in camp

    I hear you. On my 2019 AK flyout caribou hunt, my buddy said that he was gonna bring a harmonica out to camp to play in the evenings. My response: "No you're not. I don't pay a couple thou to fly into the AK wilderness, to hear a sound that is intended for the city..."

    2022 Kotzebue Caribou hunt booked

    I've been doing AK flyout hunts since back in 2002, my last one was a caribou hunt in 2019 with an old high school baseball teammate. For the years that I couldn't find someone I already knew to go, I found great hunt partners on here, the Alaska Outdoors Directory, and Rokslide. Sure, you get...

    Licensed Guide requirement for hunting

    While your statement is factually correct - the odd thing about Alaska is that non-hunters can hike into these same mountains without a guide. Seems like Search and Rescue has to rescue hikers every year who overestimated their abilities or shouldn't have been out there. A few years ago, 2...

    Alaska Moose Drop Camp recommendations

    You could try Golden Eagle Outfitters out of Kotzebue, or Wade Renfro or Papa Bear Adventures out of Bethel. Get your wallet ready, not gonna be cheap.

    Anchorage vehicle rental

    The rental car prices in AK are always jacked up from June 1 - Sep 15, it's crazy how much they can charge. Use Priceline or something similar to compare options, but all of the rentals at the airport in Anchorage are going to be priced similar. There are a couple of rental agencies not at the...

    All Elk Are Not Created Equal

    I have been lucky enough to shoot moose, caribou, and plenty of whitetail deer....the moose are the only thing I have ever measured the antlers on, and then only to ensure they are legal. The hunt is the trophy for me, as it seems to be for you also. Congrats on an awesome combo hunt, and...

    Fed's vs the State of Alaska - Who controls hunting?

    Bambi, do you not qualify for subsistence, or do they consider where you live part of Anchorage? I would not consider that area (where I think you live) as a "major city", but I am an outsider in this one...
