Me and a couple buddies are planning a trip in 2018. We've looked into a number of places, made a bunch of calls. Now want forum feedback on guys that have done it. We've crossed off arrowhead and all outfitters out of kotzebue. We want a drop in hunt in northern brooks range for mid to late august. 7-10 days. We've talked to Bushwacker and BRA for drop ins. Both are around $2500 and Bushwakcer said the porcupine herd is growing and is a better option. We will catch the first part of migration up there in north brooks. We have called of few gears rental places but I'm debating mailing my Yukon tent, stove, and camp utensils to a buddy that lives in Fairbanks for $150. Then buy a cot, and propane and food once we arrive at sportsmen. I've also thought about taking my tipi and stove up just have thought if there would be wood for burning a fire or not. We have Been told to rent a uhaul van instead of car which is cheaper and easier for hauling gear...any experience with this? In north brooks range is it possible to get in bow range or with the open tundra, rifle is best bet? Is 25A two bull unit for nonresident or will it go to one tag? Lastly....we're told most successful hunts are float trips as you can take time to cover more ground and also get a moose tag. Anyone have experience with floats trips? Thanks!
