I pulled the trigger on a moose hunt in AK this fall "last minute" a few weeks ago. I got lucky an got a tip about a good transporter. He had one opening this fall and was willing to take me solo (many will not).
I have been trying to plan a true DIY moose hunt for 15 years with no luck. My transporter is not true DIY in my opinion. Nearly everyone kills a moose or chooses to pass. I "paid" for a good location. I still have to hunt, butcher, pack etc but IMO this is closer to a guided hunt then true diy.
I leave 9/15 an return when done. I am not booking my flight home. I will post some stuff here since I know a lot of guys like to here these stories.
My flight there is booked, going over gear now. I am in the best shape of my life which is one reason I pulled the trigger on this hunt. I am actually trying to gain a little weight for this trip - so I can pack more.
300 win mag. I am flying out of Bethel. No antler restrictions which for those who know is a huge relief. Meat must stay on bones (yikes).
Looking for advice on what calling cd's to buy to listen to. I have some but want more.
