How much for a drop camp?
Skillet:
I'm going to drop a thought in here-
Have hard plans on what the outfitter will do for you if fire closes the area you want to hunt. That happened to us on the drop camp trip I went on. Not only did we not get to go to the place we wanted (not outfitters fault), we got dropped in another drainage that the crew taking us in had never been to before, and they dropped us way short of the optimal areas because they thought the trail was blocked. It wasn't, they just didn't see the new trail splitting off a few hundred yards back...
Imagine our surprise hiking in the last few miles the next morning to find two horse camps in the basin.
The earlier you have the conversation about this, the higher you will be on the list of guys to get a good "plan B" spot. Also, ask if they will bring other camps into your area as a plan B if fire pushes other hunters around.

Little Pathfinder and I are going to do a drop camp in Colorado this fall for elk. We'll let you know how it goes. Going rate seems to be between 2k and 3k per person in Colorado.
