You guys are killing me. Wish I was going into the 40 mile country this coming fall.

Instead I have a Nelchina caribou tag. And a kodiak mt goat hunt in the works. And will probably go chase dall sheep. Thinking 2014 fly in for moose just south of the Yukon....

Beer's are on me this time Ed!!!

I have used Arrowhead Outfitters for Moose,Caribou and Dall Sheep. I have very successful with these guys and have used them on 3 different occasions. I am heading back again this fall on a Northern Brooks Range Caribou Hunt with my 2 sons. Howard is one of the best I the business and is an excellent Bush pilot. Knows when to fly and when NOT too.

The book "Hunt Alaska Now" by Dennis W. Confer was published in 1997 and bought my first copy in 1998. I enjoy this book and prefer it over several others that I've read addressing AK float hunts. It's worth the read even though it's 15 years old...

Anybody want to do this moose hunt???I'm dying to get back there.I like to plan ahead so I hope someone pulls the trigger and goes.We will be hunting a place that's hard to describe but every hunter should see it.Trip of a lifetime for someone who really wants a moose

I would not recommend Willow Air Service. I had a very bad experience with them and I am a very easy guy to get along with. The hunting was Ok but the Air service was so bad the story is almost unbelievable. I have had fantastic experiences with Trail Ridge Air and Wright Aviation and Shadow Aviation. This year we are using Northern Trophy air in Kotz. They were highly recommended to me. The moose in my avatar was a DIY out of anchorage. We went 3 for 3 on 60+ inch bulls last year on a float hunt.

How much does this cost if a buddy and I wanted to go after a moose?

 

[mixedbag]

Roughly 5k each for the season using 40 mile

A few years ago I hunted above Kotzebue for barren ground caribou. Our transporter was We Guide Alaska. We didn't have any luck but the hunters using Northern Air were bringing a lot of great bulls in. Best of luck.

That is good news. A buddy of mine worked for them this year preparing capes,loading gear and such he said we would be well taken care of.

About 5500 each including the taxidermy. $ 4,000 without taxidermy. We traveled pretty light. one plane to get us in but three planes to get us out.
