I have been saving and am wanting to hunt Dall sheep and caribou in the mountains.  Who is a good guide? What areas in Alaska should I look at?

Sorry to say I have no info for you ... just wanted to say best of luck in your awesome adventure!!! Sure hope to see a thread someday with you grinning over a beautiful ram and bou!!!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

There are no Mountain Caribou in Alaska.  You are going to have to go to BC, NWT, or the Yukon if you truly want a Mountain Caribou.

On the other hand, you definitely CAN go to Alaska and kill both a Dall ram and a caribou which lives in the mountains. If you want a supposed "true" mountain caribou, you'll have to visit our northern neighbors and drop some serious extra money there.

Either way...heck of an adventure!

When is the best time to be there to spot and stalk caribou in the mountains?

If you're sheep hunting in Alaska you'll be accompanied by a registered guide. Most likely they'll tell you to focus on the sheep, and hope for the caribou. I don't think there's a "best" time for stalking those resident mountain 'bou. They're up there all summer and throughout the sheep season.

Can't help you at all, but I wish you the best of luck.  A sheep hunt is my dream hunt.
