Kind of far fetched for sure. I never heard of a hunt like that especially for that $$$. If everything is accurate I know I wouldn't have shot the moose before the other guys in the party arrived and I don't care how large it was. When I hunt with friends and family there is a certain code of conduct that we all abide by. If the story is true then all 4 paid for a hunt and 3 didn't get to hunt. Wrong on all counts.

Out of curiosity, I googled some fly-in rates for Ontario for moose. $3000 per person, seams to be about or below average rate. I figure they paid just over $2000 per person since they were including supplies and travel to the outfitter. For a group of 4, one bull tag and one cow tag, or two bull tags seams to be the norm.
As for having to wait 24 hours after arrival, I have never heard of that up here. The one time I did use an outfitter, it was in northern Quebec for a Caribou hunt. Official check in was 11 am. We arrived at about 6 am, the outfitter office gave us our 2 tags each, and we were hunting before we could even check in. If the season is on and you are given the tag, you are good to go.

I tend to think that the exact dollar amount here possibly got a bit exaggerated but the big wide world of hunting the Canadian wilderness can work a bit differently than popping pest deer over crop fields.

To me the story sounds a bit embellished but believable.
