Alaska moose from the road?

[craig Holland]

Anyone do Alaska moose /caribou without an air charter from the road out of Fairbanks or ankroge? Went with an ai charter out of Fairbanks several years ago and it seems much more difficult to plan this in advance. Or better question finding another air charter worth the money?

Check out Kincaid Park in ankroge

If you drive quickly, early in the morning, you can get one on the road between Soldotna and Homer. Fairly high success rates.

Lots of public lands available. I'd use the Milepost magazine to find places to pull off. Use maps for looking for habitat. Get a little bit of the road. There is always opportunity. And places to get out into that are remote. Guess it's about expectations and effort.
I'll just say this. I get out because I like it. A lot. And hunting around looking for moose, caribou without a wheeler or flying out is done a lot. I did. Still do. And having the opportunity to match wits with Mother Nature and moose or caribou great. Harvesting one is icing on good cake.
I'd say if you want to make the opportunity. Get after it n go, good luck n have fun
