Was to leave on Sept 1 for Moose/ bou. Buddy's plane all DIY. Very successful last year, and I could not go. Just found out the plane needs a complete overhaul and the trip is off.... One year rain check, but I'm glad not to have a plane choke up on the north side of the Brooks Range!
So one question... I've got time off, a little $ saved up, a plane ticket to Fairbanks and no connections beyond that. Anybody know how the ptarmagin hunting or fishing is within driving distance of Fairbanks? Too late and too much $$ to set up with another group...

Ouch, I think there is some great duck hunting along the wood river? Maybe rent a vehicle and drive the haul road - a dream of mine.

Go moose hunting yourself. Plenty of open areas where you can have a reasonable chance at a bull without a plane.

Hire a drop service along the Haul or even out of Fairbanks to take you caribou hunting...

I like Kotas plan! Bottom line, you need to make lemonade out of that lemon!

Moose somewhere, fishing. Black bear. No way I am showing up in AK and not hunting.fishing.
Go to AK hunting forums and post I bet a lot of guys there have some great ideas.
Find a moose area with no NR restrictions. Moose meat is great!

Good luck whatever you decide to do. At least you didn't find out the plane needed an overhaul when you were in the air.
