Solo DIY Alaska moose float hunt ‘26

I really appreciate you sharing your, "I have to do this by myself, just once." adventure. I've had a couple of those, most would get laughed at in this thread. But I did them and I'm here to tell the tale. That's what counts. I read your very first post (All the way to this one) and it reminded me of others accounts of their moose hunts. I even said the same thing as I finished it, "Yep. I'd be dead. God please bless my brother." I tip my waxed canvas cap to you Sir, and all those DIY moose hunters out there. Just as importantly, I tip my cap to all of us who say, "This is something that I just have to do." God help us...
 
Awesome congratulations!

50 miles north of Liard hot springs. I’ve never camped this spot before. There are certainly worse options. Like, for example, paying an extra $20/ person tax at Liard for not being a BC resident.

Will arrive in Fairbanks tomorrow early evening.
 
Hey Jim, really cool you are almost there. Hope the trip goes as planned and you get your moose. Be sure and stop by to see me in Montana on your way home

I’m really going to try hard Pat. Thank you for everything.
 
Good Luck, can’t wait for the updates.

Not sure how I missed this thread before since we’ve talked about this trip several times.
 
Best of luck. Hard to beat a good moose camp.

And after doing a moose hunt up the Koyukuk ten years ago or so, we made a pact to exert all efforts to ensure moose died on dry ground. 3 of the 4 moose we shot ended up in the damn river…mine included. Come-along and chainsaw winches make for handy additions when room allows.
 
Loving it!!!! Good luck, can’t wait to read your report. Take lots of pictures. (y)
 
I have a lot of respect for you on this trip it's one thing to do it with a little help good luck
 
Any updates to this report?

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.
