Fly out there on Alaska Airlines miles if possible. Its an expensive flight otherwise. Flights are on THursdays and Sundays I believe. You can rent half of a duplex from the Aleut Enterprise native corp for pretty cheap. Bring coolers or action packers with grocery store food to eat while there as it is ridiculous expensive for food and gear there. Use the action packers/coolers to bring meat home in. The duplexes have garages with freezers in them so you have a place to cut and package meat. There is a rough road network there and you can rent a pickup or atv there, contact Jack Stewart or Joe Galaktionoff. The south end of the island is non motorized federal preserve or something.

THe caribou can be found near town in the winter months, but move more to the more remote south end of the island the rest of the year. I am told the hunting has taken a nose dive since a certain outfitter started guiding out there. He takes a boat to the south end and has really knocked the population down supposedly.

I have been out there a few times for work and haven't been able to get far enough from town to get on any caribou yet. I came close in March one year when they were close to town. I'm not a huge fan of bou meat so it didnt hurt my feelers too much.
