Would like to hunt Alaska for Caribou with my son in 2008. Suggestions for reliable, productive fully guided services would be appreciated. Thanks Dennis

I would go with Ron @ http://www.caribou-unlimited.com/
Try the ADF&G web site they have a list of reg. guides or the alaska guides assn.

The Outfitter that flew us in to Lake Clark carries 2 weapons when guiding hunters and fishermen. First is a 12 pump gun(I didn't ask which model) stoked with slugs when guiding hunters, one birdshot in the chamber followed by slugs when guiding fishermen.
The birdshot is to discourage a curios bear.
On his hip he carries a 44mag, Redhawk. I did ask him why he carried it. He stated that if a bear gets on you then a long gun will be useless. Makes sense to me.
