I wouldn't mind that one bit, except it would be illegal for me to take you, if you wanted to shoot.

Non-Residents (more than twice removed kindred) must retain the services of a guide (licensed to practice in AK) for brown and grizzly bear, Dall sheep, or mountain goats.

All aliens (anyone that is not a citizen of the U.S.) must retain the services of a guide for any big game hunting in Alaska. Least I think that's how it goes.

A nonresident who hunts brown/grizzly bear, Dall sheep, or mountain goat must be personally accompanied by a licensed guide OR by an Alaska resident over 19 years of age who is within the “second degree of kindred.”
“Second degree of kindred” means a father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, spouse, grandparent, grandchild, brother- or sister-in-law, son- or daughter-in-law, father- or mother-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepsister, stepbrother, stepson, or stepdaughter (5 AAC 92.990).
A nonresident alien must be personally accompanied by a licensed guide to hunt ANY big game animal, including black bear, brown/grizzly bear, bison, caribou, Dall sheep, deer, elk, moose, mountain goat, muskox, wolf*, and wolverine.
*A tag is NOT required for hunting wolves in GMUs 13, 16, 19, and 20.
