[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5446380, member: 2805"] Starting to lay the foundations for next year's big hunt... going all out... DIY Alaska moose. Planning to be dropped off in a remote location by Bush pilot with a raft, float and camp 10 days down the remote river, and get picked up 40 miles downstream. Crunching the numbers, I think I can do the hunt for around $6000 all inclusive, unless I kill a Moose... gonna cost another $2500 to have the meat and antlers flown out of the bush, transported to cold storage, then shipped back to the states on a freezer semi. Will prob tack a couple days on the end to salmon/ halibut fish as well. Anyone here tackle this??? Been wanting to do this for a decade... but my kids were just too young and wife too reliant on me in the past. Now that they are older, I don't feel as guilty about living with the grizzlies for a week and a half (their bellies 'should' be full from the salmon runs if it's a normal year). Going with a friend who is a bigger hunter than me. Should be good times, even if we don't kill. And in fact, I don't really even care if I kill one or not as long as I'm seeing game... if it were about the kill, I'd pay an outfitter $25k and be done. I'm just looking forward to the adventure in the last frontier! [/QUOTE]
