I am starting to plan my Alaska hunt for 1992. I'll be hunting mainly 
for dall sheep and moose and possibly bears and goats if I can afford it.
This is going to be a spendy trip, since a non resident must hire a guide 
to hunt sheep, bears and goats. I don't feel I need a guide, but the state
obviously thinks I do. I killed a nice caribou last summer in Alaska, so
I kind of know what to expect up there. I did this hunt without a guide. I 
plan on self guided moose hunt, but I'll hire a guide for the other hunts.

I have a few questions for anyone who has hunted in Alaska:

Where is the best hunting for these critters?

Any recommendations for a good guide?

Do inexpensive guides exist?

Any ideas for saving money?

Is a 25-06 sufficient for sheep and goats? 
(I have a 300 weatherby magnum for bear and moose)

Thanks for your help!
