Alaska Reality Show

Who really gives a wild fart about television reality shows? Not me. I'll take the real thing. Nothing is more real than hunting in Alaska. This thread is for the guys who either are going soon or want to go soon. Got plans? Need a plan? Favorite animal?
Who's in for a dose of Alaskan reality hunting? I'm at 8+ weeks and counting down. Details to follow. You?

I love AK. One of my best hunting trips I ever took was snowshoe hare hunting with my brother when he was stationed in Anchorage. It gets your blood pumping when you're chasing hares in thick brush with your recurve knowing there is an 8ft and 10ft grizzly in the area. Good luck on your trip Kevin!

Alaskan moose is on the top of the bucket list. Daughter in college now is putting a damper on those dreams for a while though. I'll be watching this one. If you don't mind could you give a ballpark figure on cost of a DIY Alaska hunt?(PM that info if you like) Need to know how much I have to save between Elk hunts. By the way where do you live in Buckeye country?

Great stuff! when I was a resident (13 years) I hunted rabbits a lot and bear from time to time. I have never taken a moose. That would have been awesome! Perhaps in the upcoming months!

I had a funny sort of thought the other day. I was thinking about St Charles, Bear and their cronies. They did 3 years of hunting from the trapper cabin on the Little Delta. This will be my 9th consecutive year to hunt Alaska for moose, caribou and black bears. Same for my hunting partner, though we are not hunting together this year. My second consecutive solo trip is coming up. When it's done I will have hunted 5 different areas, with 2 of them being solo endeavors. But there is more to the story when I have time.
Who is going? Anyone?

Getting married August 6,two weeks off for that.. Decided to try and push my luck, August 1st off too, opening day, try and get a blacktail!
The bears are out in force around here, usually out on the trails on the weekends, get further back and higher up when possible, see where the mountain goats are!
Good luck on your trip!

I will hunt for sitka blacktail deer and caribou someday...
I'll be following this thread for sure. And I'll admit, I watch some of the shows. Strictly for the scenery mind you.

My Alaska reality show will start this year on the 12th of Sept. John and I will fly into Anchorage and gather our stuff. Head over to Tok on the morning of the 14th and fly into moose camp on the 15th.
