First thing you want to do is come up with a budget Joe. Alaska is huge, but there is very little road access (i.e. cheap) and hunt success along the road system is generally quite low. To increase your chances of success you'll want to fly out and possible do a DIY float hunt. I'd highly recommend you go with a hunt planner to help with logistics. Larry Bartlett of Pristine Ventures is a top notch guy who specializes in setting people up on quality DIY moose hunts. His fee is well worth his knowledge base and if you divide it up between two or three guys it's downright cheap. I've hunted with Larry and I can't say enough good about him or his operation. He's out of the country until mid-Feb. so don't be surprised if it takes a few weeks for a response, but he will get back to you.

Familiarize yourself with the regs too.
