Anyone heard or have any feedback from flying with him on the moose hunts he offers?

My Friend hunts with him pretty often and speaks very highly..
Did he say when he last hunted with him last?
sounds like an awesome guy over the phone but never can tell about ppl sometimes

On a DIY fly in moose hunt, what success rate can you expect? Does it very widely with unit or outfitter?

As far as I understand, the area Casey drops his moose hunters is not ideal for glassing. Make sure you choose good rut dates as your success will likely depend on calling/raking. If you get good dates, he is a solid choice.

He has mentioned this several times, and we are electing to hunt the whole season so I’m hoping we can catch good activity.
sounds like it’s going to be hunting perimeter areas of a lake and doing lots of calling and raking like you mention

During your moose hunt in 2023 suggest you have your buddy bring his own teepee.
Likely he'll snore worse than a Grizzly Bear :)
Good Luck

That doesn't sound good. Sounds like waiting on the provider to respond to a complaint. If things went badly, I hope it gets worked out. Look forward to hearing the details when available.

correct
i want to give people every opportunity to do the right thing first sorry

if you want a short answer, no moose, horrible weather for first 7 days.
I personally wouldn’t recommend this hunt for a multitude of reasons, not because i was unsuccessful but not the Alaskan experience i was hoping for
