check out outdoorsdirectory.com.  Anything you need to know about AK you can find there.  A lot like Hunt-WA, real nice guys with a wealth of information.

joe klutch has a very good reputation for moose and brown bear

[halflife65]

Yikes.  You're talking up to $25k of hunts there if you're meaning brown bear (that can be $15k - $18k by itself). 

Significantly cheaper if you mean black bear, though.

i just rlly wanna do like a caribou hunt and maybe a moose the bear is no big issue to me

Is this for the trip your folks are paying for? There's a huge difference between deer and elk hunting in the lower 48 and moose and caribou hunting Alaska price-wise.

[youngbuckslayer]

ya it is but i think i got them talked into it.

Generally good moose hunting is not colocated with good boo hunting. Also your commuting yourself to hiring a guide with that combo vs. self guide pretty easy. Might look into the regs a bit and see about the possibilities. Just my $0.02.

Exactly, I know plenty of places to hunt caribou self guided and plenty to hunt moose, but they are 100's of miles a part.

Yeah, you are probably better off in Canada if you are looking for a guided two animal hunt.  No draw on the good moose areas and good animals in the same valley.  But, it isn't like it was 10 years ago when you could get a good hunt for 10 grand.  With all the Outdoor Life channel features and prices of fuel for planes hunting up north has become commercialized to a point that any good outfitter for a real trophy is going to run you around 25 now.  And then you have to buy the gear, get yourself up there, pay trophy fees, many have charter fees and additional fees to get your meat and animals out of the bush.  It's a shame, but it has really become a rich mans sport to hunt up there.

My best advise would be to get on all the good guide/outfitters cancellation lists and be ready for a last minute hunt.  There was a guy in camp while I was Sheep/Caribou hunting that only paid 12 grand for his trip when it is usually almost 30.  In this economy it's the perfect time for this type of thing.  Even guides that usually have a waiting list for three or four years are complaining about all the last minute cancellations.

Cabela's posts cancellation specials too.

Good luck.  Hope you find a hunt and have the time of your life!

I take it you want a grizzly and not a black bear with your moose and caribou

Saw an add in the Little Nickel yesterday for moose plus (probably bear) in BC for $3500.

For caribou, self-guided fly-in is pretty easy.  The flight service drops you into an area they know there are animals at the time.
