on a side note i wont consider trophy book whichever is as a good information related to specy. there is no such stone sheep in the yukon and the fannin is not a stone sheep except for record book.
Not true but it’s the internet and the content on this platform is free so get it!!!

Enough arguing already , JEEEZ , you guys are like little kids . Back to the OP


PS! Don't make me shut the interweb down !
Seriously if you guys want to argue like a couple middle school girls PM, text or call each other. You’re not adding anything constructive to this thread.

15K is about 1/2 price these days and I’d be suspect while booking for that price if it’s fully guided.

SCI? Really? If you’re trying to use the SCI farm book to prove a point you’ve lost the argument…
And you are replying to this why? Are you looking for a moose hunt? Are you saying no Shiras moose north of the US border? Exactly what are you wanting to accomplish? If you see my original post, i was trying to help the OP.

You’re trying to help the guy by bringing up an outfitter that doesn’t have a website, doesn’t respond and no info on the internet? Then you try to use a recordbook that takes genetically modified, drugged up pets as records to prove your point?

To answer your question read my other post above about imaginary lines. But I’m guessing the stack of 52 is missing a few.

Not familiar with high fence moose hunts in North America. Where are you seeing this?

Have you ever read a SCI record book?

There are separate categories for "high fence (estate)" animals and wild animals. I don't know why people lie to themselves about an organization they know nothing about. Same as archery, same as muzzleloader.

Even when there are not separate categories, all estate animals are marked with an asterisk.

I have first hand info and a contact number from a long time buddy that just got back from the hunt. It is available. You are acting like the link i "copied and pasted" from another member is not accurate. I have not seen a single helpful post from you on the topic of outfitters. It was also another member that decided to make a SA comment on my post about not being any "Shiras moose in Canada as your first clue". That link was related to that. Carry on, your bus is waiting for you.

I did a full 3 week, fly in float trip to ANWR via Fairbanks. Drove from Washington to Fairbanks, my own gear, raft ect... flew w/ Wright, Hunted moose and caribou, tagged out. That one was about $12.5K with a few nights hotel, gas, everything and was gone exactly 31 days.

My last couple were float trips off a road system.... my hunting partner lives a couple hrs from Anchorage... those trips are cheap... Airfare, tags, gas and food, leave me gear at his place permanently... about $2k per trip but not a huge success rate.

It's all what you want out of the trip...

^ Yup.

DIY can be cheap. But most guys hit the easy button and hire a transporter like Papa Bear. You are paying for their knowledge and experience. Not sure how guys feel right labeling it as a DIY hunt. The hardest part of a moose area is figuring out WHERE and then HOW to access it. 🤣
