Seat mate OTZ-ANC from Mt (young toughie took a decent caribou up in the headwaters of the Noatak this year - 6 mile stalk the way he had to go, bear got his meat when he had to leave it overnight, saw the pics.) asked where in Alaska he should look at going on a DIY moose hunt in a couple. Having been a primarily winter "subsistence" hunter the last 5 years, I'm out of touch with such things, but I told him NW Arctic would be my best guess at this point for either a drop off or a float trip. I couldn't give him anything but generalities on that either. Differing opinions welcome. Certainly the Kenai is a bust for the foreseeable future
Told him to check in on 24 for specific recommendations locations and transporters from some of you that have BTDT. Now he has my curiosity aroused.... Anyone? PM me if you don't feel like posting, and still willing to share. Saw a dandy bull come out of No-name Creek 2 years ago, and some acquaintances from the Kenai hunt the Buckland River area every couple years.
If a float trip he's likely looking at renting 2 rafts, probably in Anc unless I can put him in contact with someone in Kotz who has them..but I don't think anyone does now that Walt left, unless it's an air transporter. I'll ask when I get back in a few.
Until the Sound freezes over and the caribou come over, I have nothing better to do....
I have ulterior motives, maybe involving Charley Russell Breaks, down the road.....
