New guy from MN

Hi everyone! I've been a fan of Randy's shows for years which drew me here a while ago. I've been a lurker long enough now so I figured I'd jump in and contribute.

I've been a hunter/fisherman/general outdoorsman most of my life, but it's all been on flat land (Iowa & Minnesota). I have the itch to get out west, but that's being put off for a bit as my dad and I are planning a fly-in caribou hunt in Alaska in the fall of 2015.

I've already pulled a lot of good info off of this site for the Alaska hunt, but if anyone has any additional recommendations or outfitters/air taxi's to look in to, I'm all ears.

Thanks!

Welcome and make sure you keep up with your plan to come west...it is well worth it.

Flatlanders unite! Welcome. (And please remember that Kansas is not the flattest state in the union...I'm looking at you Florida!)

Welcome, from a fellow Minnesotan. Did my first hunt out west about 10 years ago, and it has become a bit of an obsession, if my wife is to be believed.

Welcome from just south of you in Mankato. I too have the itch to get out west for some hunting. I hope to in the next couple of years.

I used 40 mile air for my diy hunt for caribou last year with another hunt talker.I would highly recommend them.maybe I'll see you there next year as I'm going back for a moose nxt year.Make sure you call the day the open for bookings or you'll be looking elsewhere.In other words they book fast
another tip, bring a packable fishing rod.I wish I did as I camped on a beautiful stream that just had to be full of char and grayling.Saw a few small char in the overflow puddles so I could only imagine how many were in the main stream.Be prepared to have a few grizzly visit you too.They love to stop by when your making dinner.Its a great adventure and you will love every minute of it

Welcome to the madness!! Get out west and post some pics!! I would suggest starting out with antelope in Wyoming.
