Starting to plan a Caribou hunt and am trying to decide if I should fly or drive to Alaska.
I can get a 17 day stretch of PTO and am looking at doing a haul road or air taxi type hunt.
A big part for considering driving is I don’t want to deal with the hassle of renting a car, picking what I can and can’t bring, dealing with shipping meat, and just adding in another layer of things that could go wrong.
It is 44 hours from my house to Fairbanks and figure I could split the trip into 3 days 1 way.
I should also mention that either way I get there it will probably be a solo hunt and I’d like to keep costs lower if possible.
Thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks!
