His fee is per group, so if you split it up two or three ways it's downright cheap. Larry's an expert on float hunts. He designs rafts and rafting equipment specifically for float hunting Alaska, so your best bet is to go that route. He also wrote the book "A Complete Guide to Float Hunting Alaska" and has produced DVD's on float hunting. A float hunt allows you to cover a lot more ground than a drop hunt will. On a drop hunt you're also more inclined to hike out farther if you can't find game close, which can lead you to making the rookie mistake of shooting a moose several miles back in and then spending days in agony packing it out. Trust me, packing a moose any significant distance at all is just a whole lot of suck. I think I mentioned before he's out of the country for a couple weeks so it might take him a bit to get back to you, but he will.
