I lived in and hunted in Alaska for 25 years, and it is true, anything that you can drive to is pretty much shot out!!! The place is covered up with "road hunters" just like every place else!! And, now that that everyone has to own a horse, anyplace close enough to pack an animial out of is covered too!!
That doesn't mean i didn't get game, BUT, i lived there and over the years found little pockets of game to hunt, that is when i wasn't flying in to hunt. Although i never used them, Russ's fly in service does a lot of fly in hunts, and is probably as good as any fly in service.
It's a vast area, and depending on where the caribou happen to be, will determine how many you will see. I shot a lot of them, and i always loved hunting caribou better than moose anyday!!!
