They supply a huge amount of information, prices, what to take etc.
I made contact with them several years ago in regards to a moose hunt.
At that time, there was a two year waiting period as they were booked up.
I ended up purchasing a quarter of bush land and built a cabin etc. I am
glad I made this decision as I have had lots of enjoyment from the property
and in the future if I decide to sell, I can easily re coop my money. Viewing
the video etc. of different areas of Alaska, I enjoyed that as well. I have worked
in the oil field in the late 1960's and early 1970's in northern Alberta and the
Northwest Territories. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the bush country.
At the time, a trophy (over so many inches or points) required a trophy fee.
A none trophy animal could have the antlers split and packaged small which
would cut down on shipping size. You could only bring out 90 pound of meat
as the rest went to the Alaskan people. It is very expensive for the Alaskan
people to import food and supplies due to the seasons (boat, ice road or fly).
If you are happy with your guide, cook etc. a tip is greatly appreciated.
All the best in what ever you choose.
