Last season the airboat guide only took one hunter. He just recently got his guide license for unit 26B. He has his transporters license but is on probation for taking the airboat into ANWR and dropping off sheep hunters. His transporters license was not valid int he reserve, and airboats are not allowed in the reserve, so he had two whammies at once. He's a nice guy, capable of running his airboats and has good equipment. I seem to remember him charging the hunter more than that $4500 price tag last year though. My brother and I walked to his camp and talked to him for a while after shooting a couple of bou. He also helped scoot me off a shallow spot when I got a little high and dry in a braided section. Man the water level was low last year! We ended up pulling 9 caribou out in about 8 days of total hunting up the river, then we arrowed a few more on the road system.

There are a couple of good sections to launch a raft and float the sag for a bowhunt. Probably the best for an August hunt would be around 70 Mile (Orange Pipeline Milemarkers) and float to around 50-54 Mile. This is dependent upon where the caribou are however.
