[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 4063276, member: 5778"] You will only need a licensed guide or a family member who is a resident of AK if you are hunting brown bear. Moose and black bear do not require a guide. As for antler restrictions, it depends on the unit you are hunting. Some units have a minimum 50 inch spread or 3 brown tines, some have a 50 spread or 4 brow tines, some units are 50 inches or 3 brow tines or spike fork, some units are any bull for non-residents, and some units are closed to non-residents. Basically, you need a lawyer to interpret the regs. I would definitely jump on it especially if your friend has successfully hunted moose. You will have to get a nonresident moose tag ($400) and a nonresident hunting license ($85). I just got back from a moose hunt in AK. I saw 14 moose but they were all cows and calves. I did not see a single black bear. I would recommend waiting until mid September to go even though the season opens sept 1. The whole time I was there the temps were in the mid 60's. Moose don't go into rut until the first good cold snap. The bulls stay up high in the mountains until then and are very hard to hunt. The locals who kill one every year weren't killing any.
