I had a couple questions on price. Just to clarify: The average price for a DIY moose hunt is $5K-$7K with the most expensive I know of running around $10K. Most AK hunt prices will not include travel to nearest village or airport, license, tag(s), shipment of trophy/meat home, hotels in transit, gratuities, etc. I listed $9K -$14K for the all-in price to give a ballpark estimate to help those who are questioning the overall expense. Longer flight times and remoteness of area are typically the reason for higher cost.

That said, save your pennies, find a hunting buddy or 2, and go moose hunting! It will be one of the greatest experiences of your life! Let me know if I overlooked anything. I'll answer any questions as best I can.

Good Hunting,
Billy I read your article. very nice! I would be interested in your services for a moose/caribou '22 AK hunt. Could I contact you? Kevin Liudahl

I have probably watched all of Billys videos on Youtube, very informative and a great watch. Im headed to Alaska on a DIY hunt this year for moose and caribou out of Fairbanks. Hope it works out!

Super excited about having Billy Molls back writing for Rokslide. Billy's been guiding in Alaska for 19 years and is an excellent resource for both guided and DIY hunters.
I read and edit A LOT of articles and can tell you guys that this is be one of the best for helping hunters do a DIY Alaskan hunt, from the planning to the travel, to the bush pilots, to the hunt tactics, and of course THE GEAR!. This is a two-part series as there is so much information to cover. Take a minute to read Part I and see if you agree.
