Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Always wanted to

Alaska is a place where dreams come true.

I climbed Mount McKinley (when it was still called that) three times. Adventures that I will never forget.



And I've gone hunting nine times. All DIY hunts and wouldn't trade the adventures for anything. Always took fishing gear too.



But as mentioned previously, I'm now 73. DIY moose hunts are no longer feasible and I can't afford $20,000 for a guided hunt.

I would love to hunt mountain goats on Kodiak. But that too is out of reach since a nonresident has to hire a guide.

I could still probably make a DIY caribou hunt work. If you are still young enough to make a DIY caribou hunt work, you should go while you can. After you've done that, you will be hooked and more DIY hunts will follow.



Send me a PM if you want tips for nonresident DIY hunting in AK. I've written an article that might be useful.
