This is great Brian.
Might as well start it off with some photo's from 1984 when the wife and I drove up to Alaska and spent a week with a good friend who lived there at the time.
These two pic's are from one days fishing out on Prince William Sound out of Valdez. And this is not all of the fish we caught that whole week, all Silvers.

Hey Brian, thank you for putting this up. You have a good thing going on here.
Alaska is a really big place. There are so many different types of adventures a person can get into that it could be overwhelming for some just sorting through everything trying to decide where, when, and how to organize a trip.
As someone said already "this will rock".

Looking forward to some good conversation. Have been going fishing most years for the last twenty (missed three). but am not able to go this year and am having withdrawals!!!!! Will be monitoring this forum! Maybe ease the pain a little.

Mike,
Alaska is my next big dream hunting trip. After elk this fall. (if I draw!) That's a laugh! You are right, its overwhelming thinking about it and planning it. There must be a better way for a guy who works for a living tho.........

My opinion mind you-----I think the caribou [Mulchatna]get pretty spread out towards the middle end of August feeding---and begin concetrating again towards the last week of the month of September for breeding.
In the time period you are going to be here the "herd" is generally about as far north and west of the Mulchatna River, and this is their "normal" range; and pretty spread out.
Most operators are concentrating efforts on moose during this time---so you should have less pressure on the caribou hunt from other operators and hunters as compared to what you would expct later in September after moose season and before the caribou rut gets in full motion.
You should see animals, probably not in great numbers, and probably not moving too fast, but you might be able to get a general sense of what direction they are coming/going.
Because they may not be moving fast---two/three mile hikes from camp may improve your chances.
That time frame is kind of the rainy season sometimes too---was not so last year--but normaly is.

Well, everybody works---and I know it takes a lot of cash and time from work to pull off an Alaska Trip. With using up vacation time, the cost of a ticket, licencse tags, gear and equpment purchases that most likley get made, food, bush transportation and a few unexpected expenses----I bet the average cost of a trip is 5K per person.
That is some serious jack for most people. And you usually want to find a buddy or two to go with. So it is a very special event. Not something everyone can manage to pull off.
Once you get past knowing it is going to cost around that much, and have a buddy to go with---then you have to do your homework.
Like what: Caribou--Moose ect.
How: float, or self guided, guided, drop camp
And when-spring for bears, the Augustearly season for Caribou-- November for blacktails---can we fish too? for what kind of fish
Where--Alaska is huge
and with Who. There are more than one thousand guides/outfitters and transporters.
