Alaska Caribou Hunting

Alaska Caribou hunting is a bit different than Canadian Caribou hunting. Alaska is basically the last frontier and there are numerous wild herds of Caribou that trek across the tundra. This opens the door for many exciting hunting opportunities.

 

When considering hunting for Caribou, there are generally only two places that a hunter would consider. Canada and Alaska. Both areas provide ample opportunities for bagging that prized trophy that many hunters hold dear. However, the main differences between Canada hunting and Alaskan hunting is primarily the overall costs. But, lets not concern ourselves with that aspect so much, lets completely concentrate on the Alaskan hunting experience.

Alaska offers many more hunting opportunities than any of the lower forty eight states. Not only is there Caribou hunting, but there is also Moose, Mountain Goat or Dall Sheep, and bear hunting as well. A basic hunting license fee varies and will depend upon whether one is a resident of Alaska or not and are very reasonable even for out of state folks. Prices for a standard hunting license for a non resident is only three hundred dollars. However, this does not include tags for the big game. Those must be purchased separately. These can run anywhere from a few hundred more for a black bear tag to over six hundred dollar for a bison tag. The Caribou is approximately four hundred and twenty five dollars for the out of state resident. These prices may seem steep to the average person, but they are of no concern to the hunter that envisions the ability to hunt and kill one of these.

Although, there are a few more regulations that a Caribou hunter should know and be aware of therefore, be sure to carefully read the regulations first. After all, you do not want your first hunting trip to be your last. A few of the specifics that these pertain to are especially directed to the harvest reports and are out of state hunters are required to be accompanied by a guide. These regulations are easily found online and can be downloaded for those who are interested.

Basically, Alaska has a few specialty regions that are especially known for there hunting capabilities. But, many of these regions are best gotten to by air taxi, and not by driving. Alaska is the largest state in the United States and it would take considerable time to drive to many of the locations. Not to mention that many of these are in very remote areas that have no roads. The air taxis are the best route to use or take. They are quick to the region and enables a hunter to survey the land along the way. Therefore, for a wonderful adventure as well as an exciting time, try Alaskan Caribou hunting. You may end up with that prized trophy buck.
