Anyone done a drive up DIY Moose hunt in AK?

[rtspring]

Yep he is in

Driving through Canada is also an option it's about 2400 miles one way, calculating with a loaded truck and trailer getting 8 miles per gallon it roughly $1,200 in gas each way, so $2400 in gas to get there that does not count the gas spent driving on the hunt but it seems much more reasonable then the ferry   

I would definitely want to hunt everything available at that time. 

What month would work for you RT and Elk 247   

I agree four guys would be perfect.

I might be interested. When would the trip take place?  I cant get anytime off of work from June through September due to my line of work.

Long as it is before or after Elk Season in Washington I can take off whenever!
I sent a pm to both of you with my contact info.

Four guys driving would be a good idea I think

I have a 14x16 davis tent package.  With stove and two cots!  So lodging is taken care of.

Moose and Griz in many of the Fairbanks areas open Sep 1st.  I have not figured out the Caribou in that area.  I'm looking at area 20A and 20B.  I would be happy with either a Griz and or Moose   

I'm getting excited about this, if I put something in my head you bet I will follow through with it and do it!

Definitely cool!!  I was also thinking the trailer, I have a decent 22ft trailer with two bunks, one twin and a queen, (sleeps four easy), gas stove, bathroom, fridge and freezer, good storage for your tent etc.....

So we need a boat??  Do you have the info on cost for tags?  Out of state license?

Cost is really no big deal for such a trip! Just like to know

A boat would be cool, I am looking if a rental would be available, I don't know but I'm looking.

I'm super jealous guys, I hope you all get to really do this, I would love to get some good notes about your hunt. I would love to do this in 3 or 4 years, at least while I'm still in my 40's.
