how about a cheap caribou hunt the end of july..it opens the beginning of july I dont however like going up that early.....bugs, heat...and soft antler tips! More so the bugs and the temps though really keep me from going. Fly to fairbanks, drive up the haul road, bowhunting of course (btw you'll need a IBEP OR NBEF card or its equivilant...basically a state sponsered archery course). Hunt for one or go out side the corridor and hunt for 2 caribou...see some AWESOME country...gold mines, sheep, muskox, moose, bears both brown and blacks, caribou, wolves....the potential is all there!
