Thread: Realistic cost to hunt Moose in Yukon ??

Well there you go, I've just had my moose hunt by looking at the pic`s, that's as close as I will get. By the way what cal of rifle is recommended for these beasts?, .338 lapra, 9.3 , 7mm wsm. Looks big country, could lose NZ in there.

They’re not that hard to tip over. A decent bullet in .308 or .30-06 is fine as long as it arrives at the right place. Was lucky enough to live in Alaska long enough to be a “resident” for hunting and fishing. .308 is all I owned. The locals (as in the natives), often used a lot less. Yanks tended to lie their cannons though, .300 win mag was common, and have to admit I did use a loaned one on one trip.

When you're a resident is it much cheaper and easier than a foreign person?

Massively. A resident hunt and fish license is bugger all. Tags for moose were also next to nothing, or free depending on areas, and no requirement for a guide. Most of my moose hunting was under an hours drive from home - basically one a year is what you can take. I suspect I spent about $100 per year in licenses /tags etc while I was there. Some things were dearer (bison, musk ox, sheep etc) but I was never lucky enough to draw them (balloted for that stuff) so never had to opportunity to purchase a tag for them.

Yeah. In BC however you need to draw a bull tag to tag a mature bull, even as a resident you can only shoot spike or 2 point bulls and cows.
I can get a Moose tag for under 100 bucks for the area I have been working but it doesn't mean I can shoot a trophy bull unless I draw a tag or go thru an outfitter.
