This is on my bucket list as well. I’m only getting older.

What's your desired style of hunt?
Guided, river float, dropped by plane, etc?

I did a little research on this and found these guys come highly recommended for a fly in drop camp.

Pathfinder101 or Actionshooter would likely be able to assist with advice as well.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Probably drop camp, prefer airplane drop, but open to all ideas.

 I've used 40 Mile Air to drop us off on a DIY moose/caribou float hunt. I would use them again. They book up early! Now would not be too soon to see what dates they have open for 2020. They're probably starting to get busy right now for this season. Have fun.

 Just looked at their website. Looks like you'll have to wait until December to book.

Find an air transporter...I'm looking at a hunt as well and have been looking at Brooks range aviation.

Yep, 1 Dec for the following year!  I'm really liking the looks of the float hunts they have.  I could drive up with my own raft, seems very affordable. 

I'll keep everyone posted on what I find out there!

Check out Bushwacker air. We went 2 years ago. Was a blast. He is a good pilot.

Look at Deadhorse Outfitters up by Prudhoe Bay, They are a fairly new Outfitter great operation and great group of guys. They transport by airboat instead of plane.

A good buddy of mine just for back from a caribou trip with golden eagle outfitters. They had a blast, saw a good amount of game and enjoyed every minute. He's trying to plan a trip with me for two years from now to go back, that's about as good an endorsement I can think of.
