Hunt a two-bull area in Alaska at a good price

An outfitter who has done a good job for us on brown bear hunts has decided to start offering guided hunts and drop camps in an area through which both the 100,000-animal Porcupine Herd and the 70,000-animal Central Arctic Herd migrate in August. There are so many caribou in this area that the state allows non-resident hunters to shoot two caribou. The higher limit is meant to encourage outfitters to spend the extra money to get hunters into these remote areas. The outfitter is including air charters between Deadhorse and the hunting area. You must pay for the flight between Anchorage and Deadhorse, which is about $750. Food is included -- freeze-dried meals for self-guided hunters and regular cooked meals for guided hunters. The price is only $3,000 for a seven-day unguided hunt and $6,000 for a seven-day guided hunt. You may hunt with bow or rifle. You must have at least two hunters to book either hunt. You'll stay in a wall tent with cots, and a stove, lantern and fuel are included on the self-guided trips. You'll be limited to 70 pounds of equipment. Extra charter trips to get meat out are $750 round trip and include the transportation of as much as 1,200 pounds of meat. Hunt CU4951
