Afternoon all! I just booked a ‘22 DIY drop camp hunt with Golden Eagle out of Kotz for myself and 3 buddies. We just closed on a house in Anchorage this week and head up next week, so I’ll be a resident by the time we get dropped in at the end of August.
This is obviously a unit 23 hunt, and since I’ll be a resident I definitely plan to have a grizz tag in my pocket. My main question, is should I make the trip up to Kotz to get my Moose RM880 permit in July of ‘22 for this hunt as well, or will the area we will find caribou, not be the best for moose? I apologize for the ignorance here, and I understand that the caribou move unpredictably, but wanted to bounce some of this off of you guys with more experience up in that unit than I (which is none) lol.
I spoke to Heather at GE a bit on this, and she mentioned that if I had an area I particularly wanted to go in order to find moose and bou, they would take us in. But, this is definitely a Caribou FIRST hunt and don’t want to sacrifice us all tagging out, for a chance at a moose…when the moose hunt can come later. I can always take an add’l caribou too for the extra meet opposed to searching for a moose.
Thanks in advance! And seeing this will be a first trip for me, any other advice is welcome. I think I’ve been reading posts on this general topic since I heard about Rokslide. Caribou has been my number 1 bucket list species for a long time now.
