79S-
Went up your way for a DIY moose last year. Mid-September.
Flew out of Casper......Salt Lake City......Seattle.....Alaska. Kids dropped me off after the zone 7 elk hunt......a bit exhausting, packing some elk out, a couple miles back.
After arriving in Alaska.....we stopped at Wal-Mart for tent and sleeping bags before hunt. Impressed by plug-ins for campers.
Bought a 2 man $34 tent. Bud's bought good sleeping bags.......but my frugal instincts found a red one clearanced for $9.97. Swooped, oh yea.
Mistake.
We hunted close to TOK. PO'd a few residents pronouncing it tock, instead if Toke.
50 inch minimum.....saw 36 inchers dime a dozen.
Froze rear end off in cheap sleeping bag.
The walking was good.....til you dropped knee deep in muck.
Lots of rutting sign.
Walking, walking, walking........many creeks looked like flowing coffee.
The MRC LH .338 came home bore-clean.
Lovely wife picked me back up in Casper after hunt.......followed by another archery hunt Wyoming zone 7.
Would I go again? In a second.
I’m still waiting on anyone else besides billygoat to take me hunting??
