Looking for a guided hunt for 5 guys in the 2024 season in Alaska or Canada. Does anyone have contact info or a good recommendation of someone they've used in the past?

I don’t have any recommendations but I will suggest you look into doing an outfitted camp or just gathering all your own gear and getting a transporter.

It’ll be cheaper and there’s really no reason to have a guide for caribou. They’re easy to hunt and small enough they aren’t hard to handle after you get one down.
For 5 guys you could probably chip together to get the gear and save enough to go twice instead of paying for a guide.

Unless you need, want and can afford a guide I’d listen to TheKid. You can find a fly out camp or pay for an outfitted camp for a lot less money and you could stay longer. I’m sure that even having a resupply/meat haul out flight would still be multiple thousands cheaper than hiring a guide for CARIBOU.

Good luck and I hope your successful.

I would, at this time, look into hunting the Porcupine Herd. Most everything else is in decline I think. That's all I have!

You wanna go real spendy, check out Adak Island.

^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^

The caribou herds of North America are almost all in decline or have crashed. I would be cautious booking or committing funds very far in advance.
The Porcupine Herd [ANWR] would also be my choice.
