Define a ‘DIY’ Hunt

[Reburn]

The vast majority of Alaska is only accessible by plane. You want him to walk to Alaska from Colorado too?

Of course not. He should have gotten his pilots license and flew himself from CO to the moose unit.

For sure!
In Idaho we could regularly see the truck, or at least the road… and it was only 2500 to 3500 vertical feet back down!

I'm not a huge fan of the term DIY. Kind of annoys me to see guys say DIY, backcountry, harvest, talk about the elevation feet they climbed, organic meat, etc. Not mad at them at all. Kind of trendy. I think a lot of guys who use those terms are adult onset hunters that have just learned that way.

I too am guilty of using some of those terms at times. I think guys should only clarify when the have been guided since the great majority of guys have never been on a guided hunt.

I'm probably just grouchy.

Reminds me of a joke. How do you know if someone does cross fit? Dont worry. They will tell you.

Feel the same about DIY, solo, backcountry, etc.

Twice I’ve gone to Alaska moose hunting.
Brought all my own gear.
Hired a pilot to fly me into an area I drew.

Is that considered DIY?

Yes, to me it is anyway

 

[ozyclint]

Thought DIY stood for Doin' it for Instagram and YouTube?

 

[PredatorSlayer]

All of my own research, planning, and execution. Not help from guides or anybody else I have to pay for guide type services.

Did someone tell you where to go?

Nope - I don’t think so anyway.

No. A transporter can’t legally tell you where to go.

You gotta put the time in and earn it.

Similarly, all prep work needs to be with a map, compass, and your eyes. None of this GoHunt, OnX, and GPS malarky.

Someone, as in an acquaintance?

If not, and the only help was a bush pilot dropping you off at a location you figured out, that’s DIY.

No difference in the commercial airline that got you to the bush plane location, as far as DIY, in my opinion.

 

[def90]

DIY simply means it was not a guided or outfitted hunt.

But much less time since it’s not that far from the casa…

More time because of all the pressure and lack of land!
