My first trip to Alaska was a long time coming having dreamed about going there since watching mutual of omaha on Saturday mornings as a kid. Always figured it was always off the table due to budget and never put much effort into researching actual costs or requirements.
Four years ago I got a call that changed it all. My good buddy from the army called and invited me to hunt moose with him in Canada. I was in and not long after that the trip started to unravel. Plan b Alaska! It was twice the cost but moose are twice as big. Catch was we had to book in two days and no one had done any research yet. The race was on. My dad mentioned he had a cousin in Alaska and I should track him down and ask a few questions before shelling out any money to a transporter.
Alaskan Bob picked up the phone and after finding out the how i got his number, just who's kid I was, and what I wanted to know about moose hunting. Bob paused a few seconds let out a roaring chuckle and says don't give those guys your money come and go with us.
