Hello all,
I have been dreaming of heading to Alaska for a DIY caribou hunt for some time. I am fully aware of the logistic challenges, tough country and cost for this type of trip. Despite all of the challenges, I cant shake the desire. The country is so beautiful and the opportunity to hunt caribou in Alaska is just a dream that I must fulfill before I cant.
Unfortunately, as a Canadian, I need to hire a guide for this type of trip. The cost for fully guided trips almost triple the DIY cost, and I dont need a full babysitter to cook and setup everything for me. Its a disappointing reality that I am coming to terms with. There are some great air charter services that I have researched, and talked too that would bring me to the trip of a lifetime, but non have guide recommendations. They suggest that if I am looking for a guide, to contact some of the full service guiding services, something that I dont want.
Are there any other Canadian on the forum that have suggestions, or does anyone have some guidance for me on what I could do to fulfill the guide requirement for non-resident alien hunters such as myself.
Thanks
Eric
