Best guided moose hunt?

[Doc Holliday]

I personally would focus on Alaska today vs Canada.

Especially if you want to bring all the meat home. I can't fathom going to Canada, dropping $30-40K and shooting a bull just to put a head on the wall and maybe bringing back 50# of meat.....many people do. Yeah the meat gets eaten, but I want all of that meat!

What is the cost of a solid guided moose (only) hunt in AK, YK or NWT now?

 

[Nick Muche]

28K for a quality AK hunt. Likely find cheaper options I’m sure.

The average rate for fully-guided moose (only) in Alaska, across the board, is about $24K. Low end is about $18K and high end is right around $32K. Some include air charter in their pricing, some don't.

I tell friends to add about $4K to the transporter cost for a moose trip from lower 48. Most come in closer to $5k.
$1K for license and tags
$1-1.5k for commercial flights
$900 AK Trophy Express - edit: add $300 here if shipping from village and and paying for cold storage
$1k potential gear upgrades, misc meals, and tips (more if guided)

Any experience with Hidden Alaska? Tony seemed like a good dude from when I talked to him

Big Moose? Stoney River Lodge or Joe Schuster.

Is Joe still doing moose hunts? I thought he bought a fishing lodge on Beluga Lake and dropped the moose hunts.

I hadn't heard that. I know he already had a camp on Beluga lake, and to my knowledge there was no lodge there last time I was out that way. I'll reach out to a buddy of mine that has guided for him and see if he is still doing moose hunts.

Just heard from my buddy, Shuster is still doing moose hunts.

Thanks. That is good to know.
