Title: Headed back to Alaska for black bear, moose and wolf!
Post by: saylean on May 28, 2018, 02:57:37 PM: Bought an Alaskan black bear tag, moose tag and wolf tag. Headed back up and I'm stoked. I bought the moose tag which will give me the option to shoot a caribou if I see one or the other. Originally, I was all for caribou, but the more vids I watch of moose coming in, the more I am leaning moose. Either way, success or not, just going will once again be a dream come true. Stay tuned, I will post in this thread once I get back.

Naturally, heading to Alaska forces you to buy other must have items....so treating yourself to a few extra goodies is a bonus!

Any tips on getting meat back down to the lower 48 appreciated. I will be outside of Wasilla again. I will look into this myself of course. I know there are companies that specialize in this, but if anyone has experience I'd be curious to hear.

I did this the last time, but it was a black bear...moose might be tougher for me (amount wise). I have got some good tips, thanks for the info!
