[QUOTE="Neverlost1, post: 79394, member: 4569"] Good luck! I lived just outside of Fairbanks from 1989 to 1994. I miss it bady. As it turned out, all my hunting was by bow. I hunted along the archery only zone of the haul road, before it was opened to the public. I got four large bull caribou up by Deadhorse(worst tasting game animals I ever ate), three black bears just north of the Yukon River bridge(over bait), and a sheep near Attigun pass. Never got a moose, but came really close a few times. I hunted moose on the south side of the Brooks range, not to far from Coldfoot. I can't describe the excitement of having an enraged 50"+ bull moose 40 yards away responding to my antler rattling. Steam coming from his nostrils, ears laid back, the hair on his neck standing straight up and his little beady red eyes searching for me. Just didn't quite have a clear shot (maybe that was a good thing). I went through that four or five times and something always kept me from having a good shot with my bow. All would have been easy with a rifle. Are the bulls going to be in rut where you are hunting. It seems to be an early season, as I remember moose season always started September 1st, and up by the Brooks Range they were in full rut by then. I can't describe how much fun it is to call a moose in. Anyway, best of luck. I wish I could go with you. [/QUOTE]
