Default How to get started moose hunting

Hi all,

I have done a lot of research on hunting moose in Alaska. I was in Alaska last year during Moose season and saw a few hunters while we were visiting some of the local lakes. I work for the airline industry so it's easy for me to hop on a plane and get to Alaska. I have a few questions on getting started. I am not planning to initially do a fly-in hunt or guided hunt. Just wanting to get my feet wet.

1. Should I scout places in the Kenai Peninsula where I can draw a tag? I met a hunter at Lake Eklunta which is bow only but I thought I could scout that area in the off-season.
2. After harvesting a moose, the next thing is to get the moose out of the woods. Should I just plan on packing the moose out? Should I look to pay someone to help me get the moose out?
3. Should I just stick to one place like Lake Eklunta and keep scouting and wait to be drawn?
4. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris
