I looked at your list there is 19, but you listed Cali and RM Bighorn separate and they are together, but you missed Canada Moose. Here is what I came up with. Blue you would not need a guide for. Might not know for sure on a few though.

Though it might depend on one's definition of "guided hunt", but I think you can do some more of the caribou unguided. I have read of and seen advertisement for unguided/semi-guided hunts for some of them in Canada. Mountain caribou are found in ID and AK, but the populations are so low that hunting is not allowed and I doubt we'll see it in my lifetime.
You dont need a guide for muskox either...
Is it really feasible without one?
You're pretty much hosed on the polar bear, stone sheep and mountain caribou though...
My friend that I went on the ox hunt with shot a Fannin/Stone in Alaska without a guide...and a good one at that, over 40.
I think your odds of killing a 500" elk in Colorado are about as good as killing a Fannin in AK
Next thing you'll be telling me there's stone sheep in Alaska.
.
Speaking of which, I thought you had to be guided to hunt Mountain goats in Alaska?
I'm really not a fan of the slams though, seems like some folks hunt something like a sitka blacktail or a coues deer strickly to get a notch on their belt rather than because they really want to hunt them. Seems like once folks hunt them they sometimes go back after them again because they enjoy it, but the initial hunt seems more geared toward a notch on the belt.
There are only 2 animals only found in AK which require a guide or residency, brown/griz and sheep.
