At least you’ll have a nice moose rack to look at while sitting around the fireplace for a reminder of a great hunt. Nice work fellas.👍

Congrats on the nice bull and a memorable hunt.
I was reading reviews last night about an outfitter up there and the hunters were complaining about the trip which was mostly weather related in 22 & 23 as well. Your trip sounds about the same but it’s refreshing to hear another point of view from a solid hunter.

Good gravy. You guys are the gruesome two-sum on those moose!
And very sad to hear about the young lady pilot. Those bush planes combined with weather are so dangerous to fly I am told. Thank you for sharing!

Spending all the money to get there and pre planning each days events to see days ticking away not in the field or able to see or travel is nothing anybody likes. It’s easy to get inside your head and be discouraged or even angry often times at people who also have no control. I would not do this hunt with someone who is quick to temper or impatient. We definitely ran into a few of those guys waiting around the hanger and on the final gravel bar before extraction(along with some great guys). We met three guys from Kentucky in their 60s that said they were going to leave their outfitter a bad review. They were drop camp caribou hunting, but were in too bad of shape to walk in the Tussoks around the lake they got dropped on to get to the Caribou. Somehow them seeing Caribou every day but not able to walk the 700 yards to the saddle they kept crossing was the outfitters fault.. Another guy from Alabama we met at the hanger, had his friend bail on him because their bush flight was two days late getting out due to weather. He had spent every dollar nonrefundable he would’ve had to for the whole trip other than flying moose out if he was successful and he bailed on the whole thing because he was two days late, he was in complete meltdown stage when we were there. I would definitely take reviews on Bush pilots and outfitters very lightly as most of their negative reviews are probably often things that are out of their control or are from people who were just in over their head.
Hopefully, now that it’s on the wall and not sitting on the floor in my room, I’m not wasting so much time looking at it in the morning. Karl, if you still have your buck sitting on the dining room table I don’t know how you aren’t 15 minutes late to work every day From stopping to pick it up and admire it every time you go to leave the house. My wife asks me if I need some time alone when she comes in and catches me looking at/touching my antlers

This is definitely on my list of hunts to do but I’m still trying to decide if we should go DIY or fully guided in Canada. I love the idea of a float trip but as I read more it is definitely take 3 weeks off for a 10 day hunt and hope for the best.
Do you mind sharing what town you flew out of?

If your going to hunt moose in AK as a DIY you best get to planning some equipment rentals, flight services are being booked up.
