Well, I had a diy Alaska moose trip planned in 2018. My buddy (Alaska resident) who is organizing the trip recommended I put in for a caribou tag. I was all about potentially turning it into a multi-species hunt, but was hesitant to throw down the cost of a non-res hunting license ($165 if I remember right) for what I found out was a roughly 2% chance at a tag. I was apparently in the mood to throw some money out the window, so I went for it. I got the email today letting me know that I officially have to quit whining about never beating long odds. I can't win a game of scissors/rock/paper to save my life, but somehow beat the 2% chance at at tag. PUMPED!
It would be awesome to double up, but the primary species will be moose. I connected on a representative caribou on a north slope hunt with my dad back in 2014, despite very low caribou migration at the time. I'd love to up the caribou size a bit, but even a 50.1" bull moose would be higher on my list than a 375" caribou at the moment. Regardless of the number of tags filled, it will be an unforgettable experience.
