I did a diy moose and caribou hunt in naknek, it was a unsuccessful attempt at moose , I wouldn’t recommend a diy , the Yukon has some great outfitters

I’ve got a group of 4, I’m not up to handle that

Did a Moose, Caribou and Sheep combo hunt in NWT with Stan Stevens. Would highly recommend but @VernAK is correct on both accounts.

If you want to be successful for both it will take a lot of transportation-

Moose is a low density animal and to find 4 legal trophy quality animals would definitely need to be in different camps.

Caribou are where they are.... might be by moose but probably not, as they aren't necessarily in the same habitat

Also timing moose rut is Sep, and Caribou get better later.

If you have the money can't beat an outfitter in NWT with helicopter transportation. Look at the Lancaster's NWTO, and Keele River Outfitters- well known for sheep and Mt. Caribou and big moose.


Best prices in western Alaska but spotty on getting both. Often will have 2 different camps for caribou and moose. my BIL and son guide big moose and caribou- they got a 400" bou and multiple 60" Plus moose and brown bear last year. Grizzly Expeditions is the outfit

Papa Bear out of Bethel would be my bet for moose. Two groups/different camps if it's a 4 person trip. Caribou won't be an option though

If you have a group of 4, try caribou first. Then split the group into two camps for moose

I can second the NWT for moose/caribou. Just got back from my second trip up there. First time was sheep/caribou this time has a sheep/moose/caribou tag. Caribou are plentiful throughout the season up there which open is early August. Moose opens Sept 1. I took a nice caribou on a prior hunt but was also not willing to shoot a caribou until I punched my sheep tag passing a lot of nice bulls we saw while pursuing sheep. If you wanted to target both I would go mid -late September to prioritize moose. The moose hunting are really not rutting until later in the month but you should be able to find a good caribou any time of the year up there.

I should clarify it’ll probably end up 2 moose and 2 caribou total. One guy wants a combo, I have moose already booked in 27 and I’m bringing my daughter and have already killed a 390 caribou. So I’m just going to let my daughter shoot.

Was told years ago to the same question that moose and caribou in Alaska are two different hunts and subsequent experience has proven it to be the case. Have since taken caribou on a caribou hunt and a number of moose on moose hunts. The two times we went to a spot where we could hunt for both, we didn't come home with either one.

If you want caribou meat, it's best to hunt them prior to the last week of September. Big mountain caribou bulls get pretty nasty tasting to the point of being virtually inedible in October. But August bulls are great eating...fat and lazy pre-rut critters.

best meat ever: august caribou. i still do not get that caribou can be hunted when in rut as they are not edible and even a dog wont eat them.
