Who really gives a wild fart about television reality shows? Not me. I'll take the real thing. Nothing is more real than hunting in Alaska. This thread is for the guys who either are going soon or want to go soon. Got plans? Need a plan? Favorite animal?

Who's in for a dose of Alaskan reality hunting? I'm at 8+ weeks and counting down. Details to follow. You?

I love AK.  One of my best hunting trips I ever took was snowshoe hare hunting with my brother when he was stationed in Anchorage.  It gets your blood pumping when you're chasing hares in thick brush with your recurve knowing there is an 8ft and 10ft grizzly in the area.  Good luck on your trip Kevin!

Alaskan moose is on the top of the bucket list. Daughter in college now is putting a damper on those dreams for a while though. I'll be watching this one. If you don't mind could you give a ballpark figure on cost of a DIY Alaska hunt?(PM that info if you like) Need to know how much I have to save between Elk hunts. By the way where do you live in Buckeye country?

Good luck Kevin. It's on my list of things to do.

Looking to go for moose in 2017.
Kevin, are you going Solo with your sawtooth?

On my bucket list also, moose. Will have to wait until kids are finished college.

Best of luck on your up coming hunt.......I would love to hunt there someday.

Great stuff! when I was a resident (13 years) I hunted rabbits a lot and bear from time to time. I have never taken a moose. That would have been awesome!  Perhaps in the upcoming months!

I had a funny sort of thought the other day. I was thinking about St Charles, Bear and their cronies. They did 3 years of hunting from the trapper cabin on the Little Delta. This will be my 9th consecutive year to hunt Alaska for moose, caribou and black bears. Same for my hunting partner, though we are not hunting together this year. My second consecutive solo trip is coming up. When it's done I will have hunted 5 different areas, with 2 of them being solo endeavors. But there is more to the story when I have time.

Who is going? Anyone?

Would love too but the $$ is the problem maybe I just need a better job...lol!!or a possibility when my boys are outta the house but that will be a while

Will be on Kodiak in just over 3 weeks hunting Blacktails!!!!

Alaska is on my bucket list also, want to hunt caribou with my longbow, been a dream for many years for me. Would love to do a drop hunt.

Getting married August 6,two weeks off for that.. Decided to try and push my luck, August 1st off too, opening day, try and get a blacktail!
The bears are out in force around here, usually out on the trails on the weekends, get further back and higher up when possible, see where the mountain goats are!
Good luck on your trip!

I will hunt for sitka blacktail deer and caribou someday...

I'll be following this thread for sure.  And I'll admit, I watch some of the shows.  Strictly for the scenery mind you.

i would absolutely love to but i'm not allowed to DIY.

Just got back from AK, but I was up there killing King salmon   :gold tooth:

saw moose and fox no bears, we were fishing the Nushagak River in the northern Bristol Bay region out of Dillingham

My Alaska reality show will start this year on the 12th of Sept.  John and I will fly into Anchorage and gather our stuff.  Head over to Tok on the morning of the 14th and fly into moose camp on the 15th.

I hunted Nelchina.  Took a Toklat grizz with a rifle.  A couple blacks and a brownie down on the coast-33 years ago.  Want to do it with a longbow.  they just doubled non res fees! ouch
You want to feel alone? that is the place.

Like many, Alaska is on the bucket list. 2017 I'll be putting Africa in the pail......then, maybe, Alaska in 2018.
