First time posting here, but I have been reading and learning for over a year now from this forum, before finally joining so I could post.
With that said, I have viewed some of the "stickies" as far as beginning to plan a hunt. This trip will be with my 73 year old grandfather. He did a 10-day fly in moose hunt 10 years ago and since I am up here and he was one of the reasons I got into hunting at a young age, I want to do something big one more time before he gets to old.
Hunt: Caribou w/ small game as a side
Where: 26B (where the bou are heading)
When: August or September
Length: 1 week or less
Planning for Fly in/out
Weapon: Bow for me, BLR 30-06 for him and me as a back up
Purpose: For memories, delicious caribou meat, and hopefully something to hang on the wall.
Money isn't an issue for this hunt, just prefer to stay around $3-4k/person.
So to save a little money and enjoy the scenery, I want to drive up to Happy Valley and fly out of there if the cost makes sense.
Our unknowns are:
Guided or unguided
Food/shelter
Exact dates
Get grizz tag maybe?
Gear needed
Have you done something similar?
What insights do you have or recommendations?
Maybe the best way to get a good deal on the flight and not pay $1500/person for a flight?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Don't think you can PM me, but if you want to share any info or suggestions I can just post my e-mail.
Thanks so much,
Chris
