I know the area well.  Spent three summers there flying in helicopters doing geology.  Got three bulls myself. 54-60 inches.  We camped at the runway on the Kougarock River for two summers and at Iron Creek for one.  I've been wanting to go back and take my son to get him a moose but $$$ is always an issue and I read that the Seward Peninsula moose have some tooth issue that is reducing the herd. Know anything about it.  I spent a whole afternoon with a herd of muskox in the Kougarok River headwaters.  Something I will always remember.  looks like you had a great trip.  the wolf was a great bonus.

 Hey thanks for interest in our hunt. I lurk here quite regular and rarely post or get involved but in the interest of adding some variety I figured I'd contribute something.
Yes the Seward Peninsula moose herd is and has been experiencing a tooth issue. Mostly grizzly bear predation during calving but wolves have followed Caribou onto the Peninsula and have made a dent also with their teeth. They gotta eat too but I believe if you kill a moose every year you need to make an effort to kill a bear or wolf also every year. Actually ADF&G used to require the lower jaw on moose in an effort to gather info on what was and is making the teeth splinter on moose. Even young moose have shown signs of decay and splintering and I'm not sure if there has ever been anything learned from it or not. Most non resident moose hunting opportunity has been severely limited for the last 15 years or so and the bear hunting seasons have been liberalized in an effort to increase harvest and moose numbers. My kind of Liberalism!!

Neither one of us has sold beer or wine in the past that I know. I'll drink a Miller High Life now and then but they ain't for sale.

Nice write up.  I like the quad set ups.  What type of trailers are you guys using?
