Planning and preparation are key for a successful hunt.
Many hunters find it best to plan for at least 5 to ten days when hunting in Alaska. This is due to weather and animal movement patterns.
Huge moose and vast caribou herds dominate the landscape in some areas of Alaska. Large numbers of wolves, black bears, grizzly and brown bears are found throughout the state. The mountain ranges support populations of Dall sheep and mountain goats, and Sitka black-tailed deer. Muskox range over the western and arctic coastal wilderness. However, game densities are lower than most other states and provinces. This makes finding a good Outfitter key to successfully hunting in Alaska.
Talk with your hunting consultant to determine the best areas, Outfitter and times to hunt the species you seek. Purchase reliable equipment, and practice with it ahead of time. Be prepared physically and mentally for tough weather, difficult terrain conditions, isolation, and weather delays… these are all normal. Familiarize yourself with the Alaska hunting regulations and carry a copy with you into the field.

I personally don’t think there is a bad time to visit Alaska for fishing during the summer season especially if you choose a good fishing lodge/outfitter. The time you go is dependent on what type of fishing experience you’re looking for and what species you’re most after.
I heard a yell and looked down at Cooper a 16 year old from Colorado who could fish pretty well. He was persistent in fishing a streamer or mouse all day because he was hoping for a big rainbow to grab his fly. His jaw was dropped and eyes wide as he excitedly stuttered, “I’ve got a huge trout!”
Obviously, as an experienced hunter, you have a list of things you like to carry, but this is a list directly from an Alaskan outfitter and there may be a few things here that you hadn’t thought about.

If grizzlies are on your bucket list, this is a great hunt to go on. Bring something with some punch power, as these are one of the toughest animals in North America.
Moose hunting is something that even the most well traveled high budget hunters only do a few times in their lifetime. Not because they aren’t enjoyable, but more that they are a bucket list species, once you have gotten the one you are looking for, most call it good. Most hunters are rookies at booking a hunt, and I find that many of them don’t have the proper information to find the hunt that would satisfy their trophy quality expectations, physical condition level and budget.
If you have booked a self-guided moose hunts, here are a few things you should know from hunters who have been on the hunt.
At 20-25 yards I could finally see the bruin clearly, mouth open, teeth exposed,…. Otto yelled, “Shooooootttt” and I shouldered my 7mag and…
