DIY Moose Hunt Price

Passed on this guy. He was too close to 50” for me to tell my wife to shoot. I had him between 48-52 inches.

How did you measure this bull?

Is you are talking about the one in the field, I had 15 seconds of an unobstructed view to look at him. I started by trying to count his tines. He had three brows on one side and two on the other. That took several seconds. Then I looked at hike a used 10” between his eye sockets and tried to judge him from there. To me he was super close and I wasn’t sure. Then he moved down a tree line. Stopping a few times. Each time he stopped he was behind trees or brush and never with his vitals open enough for a guaranteed clean shot for my wife. She was shooting her 7wsm with Berger 168 hybrids so even if he was legal it should have been threading a needle through branches and limbs for a back or high lung shot. All in total, we saw this moose for less than 5 mins.

Afterwards, I pulled the moose up ok my digital camera since I filmed him and used a ruler with both metric mm and standard 32” measurements to measure from outside of eye socket then extrapolated from tip to tip and I kept coming up with somewhere very close to 50. Tried zooming in using my phone until the eye sockets were exactly 1/4” and measured to the nearest 32” and still came up with very close to 50”.

Shortly after this (within 3 hours) fish and game buzzed our location and hovered around us in a green helicopter checking hunting camps down our river. I felt comfortable that I may have avoided a major game violation.

Yeppers, I've watched more than a few walk away. Not knowing exactly what I'm shooting at. But was good to know that I had an opportunity. Hunting is still great even if you don't shoot. Always stay positive have fun

Just booked a hunt for me and my wife in Sep. the transport flight in and out is 8k. Add $3500 if we fly out two moose. Raft rental is about 2k. $900 for airfare to Alaska. Plus tags.

At minimum it’s going to be about $6000 per person. Will be in a unit with antler restrictions but was assured we would have opportunities at legal bulls.

I think the internet just broke

Guys are realizing there’s other pilots and places other than renfro and papa bear and it’s a whole lot cheaper!!!

Please note. The guys who found good deals. Aren’t saying names of who it is.

My buddy and I went last season out of Tok on a 13 day unguided float hunt. From leaving WY to returning home it was $8400 each. Hotels/rentals/etc really added up. Never saw a bull which made it tough… met some amazing people at the airstrip and at the pick up point. Learned a ton.

40 mile air was amazing

The bull in this video is quite a bit bigger than 48-52", but you did the right thing by passing if you were unsure.
