I'm planning on some hunting trips for next year, and was interested mostly in Caribou or Moose hunting. I don't want to be guided, but wouldn't mind a drop-camp type hunt. I've been looking into Caribou in Alaska. The plane ticket to Anchorage doesn't seem to bad($500), but the flight to a smaller town and drop-camp and brush country seems to be over twice the cost of the flight to alaska. I've been reading some posts about hunting in Northern Quebec(Caribou), but it seems like a lengthy drive from Kansas, and flights and along with other expenses seem to run the total cost up.

Can anyone recommend some places to check out which I could get away with a spending now more than 2K and no more driving that 1,400(2 days) miles from Kansas, if there is a such thing? Thanks for your help!
