You don't need a guide or 2nd degree of kindred relative to hunt moose as a non-resident in Alaska. You can buy an over the counter tag, but there are quite a few limited entry permit areas so make sure you check the regs to verify the area you want to hunt. There's also varying antler restrictions, so some areas are open to any bullbut mostrequire certain size antlers to meet legal minimums. The regs can be pretty convuluted and even within units and subunits there can be varying restrctions so make sure to read up and familiarize yourself with the regs. Don't underestimate the driving distance here either. If you're coming from New Mexico then you're looking at a 3,500+ mile drive ONE WAY. If you can average 60 mph (which is pretty fast for a lot of the Alcan) then you're looking at 60 hours of drive time each way. If you can split drive time with some other guys and go around the clock then you'll have at least 2.5 days of driving time each way. Canada also has pretty hefty taxes on their gas, and considering that the Canadian dollar is currently worth more than the US$ you'll get screwed on the exchange rate and you'll pay a premium for fuel. Northern BC and the Yukon, especially in the Kluane area are absolutely beautiful so there are some real perks to doing that drive, but you'll be sick and tired of driving by the time you get there.
