Looking for a AK moose hunting partner

[tyno22]

Looking at going to Alaska this coming September 2025 for a DIY moose hunt. Doesn't look like any of my personal hunting contacts are able to go this year as of now, but still have some time. Will be flying to AK from Wisconsin. Looking at a minimum of a 2 week trip for a fly in drop camp. I've been on a couple float hunts for moose and caribou, also a drop camp for moose and numerous Western state hunting. I've got a couple units in mind, and they are OTC tags. I made some initial contacts. Just have to confirm. I'd prefer to hunt with someone for safety and the work that will be involved in doing the moose trip. If you are looking for an AK hunting adventure this coming fall let me know and we can further discuss. We got time to plan. Last time I was up I started making plans in July. My wife and I went hunting and had a great time but wasn't able to connect on a legal bull.

Do you have a pilot that has agreed to fly you out and drop you off for this year?

 

[tyno22]

Yes, I made some calls a while back, couple months ago. Both pilots in one area said they could get me out. One was more open than the other. One guy said he didn't have any hunters on the schedule yet but would do probably just a couple groups.

Another pilot I flew with before had some openings but I had no confirmed plans. Looking at unit 9 or 17. Basically I just have to get in touch and hope it's a go.

I'm already dialed in for my Moose and Caribou hunt. My partner and I have dialed in two different pilots. We had our flights partially paid by Feb 2025 with our locations on the map. The Caribou leg is 7 days and the Moose leg is 10 days. The complexity of a hunt like this are real and it sounds like you have your segments dialed in. I'll spend aprox 6k in misc expenses to complete a DIY Moose and Caribou hunt. I have great partner that I've enjoyed hunting with for a very long time.
Between the interpersonal dynamics, costs, time requirements, and gear needs I can only imagine the difficulty of finding the right person to join you. Especially if it's a hunting partner also wanting a harvest. Now ya got non-resident fees to contend with, long flights and cargo costs. An AK hunting expedition is a carefully curated endeavor. Good luck finding the right homie.

Still on the table. I have another trip to AK in August, but could still possibly do my September trip that I was originally planning

I don't think I can send a PM yet. I just signed on for an AK trip in August with some friends but going back in September may be a possibility. Would be a pretty quick turn-around for trips.

Where you looking at in 17? I am moving to 17 in two weeks.

Bruce Werba with Alaska Pike Safaris. Do you know of him? Your thoughts on his operation? I’ve only heard good things thus far.

Dang, been wanting to go to AK. I cannot find someone to commit to a DIY hunt like this. Would really like to find a hunting partner to build a relationship with for western hunts. If you were looking earlier in the year, and I had more time to prepare, I’d be in.

Good luck with your search, and your hunt.

Ok sounds good. I can't send a PM yet either but have a hunt lined out in Alaska already this fall and my buddy just backed out on me. Looking for someone to fill his spot. It's a great area.
