[M.T. Pockets]

I'd suggest looking into either a caribou drop camp hunt, or a deer hunt on Kodiak. I don't know much about the deer hunts on Kodiak, but I have done an unguided caribou drop camp.

I'd suggest everyone hunt Alaska at least once in their life. A few observations from my experience. First, find the air service you want to use. Be aware, you may have to pay a charter flight to even get to your air taxi. Don't expect to be all alone, we were 200 miles from Anchorage and saw several planes a day and more than one other group of hunters on the ground. If it was easy for your air taxi to drop you off, it will be easy for others to do the same.

There aren't moose behind every tree, and you likely won't be overrun with migrating caribou. You do have to hunt for them, but that's what you want.

Even if you do everything yourself, start saving now. To do a self guided caribou drop camp, from your door to back home again, will run around $4,000.

Bears shouldn't be much of a problem, if you're careful. You do need to prepare for the weather and have the proper clothing (wool & good rain gear, proper boots, a very good tent and reliable fire starting equipment).

I don't mean to sound like I'm trying to discourage you, I just wanted you to know some facts early in your planning stages. Your first step should be to find a reliable partner with a good mind set & temperment.
