Thread: Realistic cost to hunt Moose in Yukon ??

I would be very careful selecting a hunt in Russia, I have heard lots of horror stories that ended up very expensive with not much to show for it.

Damn those are some cool photos Husky ,just makes me wanna go even more!!!
So far the outfitters I’ve talked to make it seem such an easy process but looking at some international forums it can be hit and miss with flights customs and general expectations vs reality of camps food and general hunting experience. Not after just a head on the wall but more of a true wilderness expierience and reading a few stories it would seem the hunts and animals themselves are quite easy and over and done quickly, with the only real goal is to get an animal down so they can get you outta there asap.
There’s a few more outfitters I’d like to talk to but it’s looking like a trip not to do solo for a first time international hunt, thanks heaps to all who took the time to reply with info it was really helpful !!! Maybe I’ll look into doing a season working in Alaska first
Cheers

Yup. Stay away from Russia. I have guided some agents that have some horror stories including murders.

Doubt the Moose are worth it.

She also advises against it unless you know your stuff.
2 guys I guided in the last couple of weeks have lost a lot of money and other horror stories just last year.

Some pretty dodgy things going on with some agents and Outfitters there.
These blokes are agents themselves and do their homework so they were highly disappointed at being ripped off.

Same. Had clients rave about their experiences as well.
Just need to do your homework I spose.
Hunting here in BC you can run into dodgy outfits as well...... Especially if I am guiding for them
