I am very close to pulling the trigger on a spring bear hunt for next year. One of my big obstacles is going to be travel logistics. I thought I'd send it out there and see if you guys have any input. I have narrowed it down to four outfitters. I will be flying from Wisconsin to Idaho.
1. I then need to figure out how to get from that airport to the outfitter. Some offer a pick up service and some don't. Even if they do I will probably need to come in a day early and stay a day late at the city I am flying out of which puts me in a position of needing transport to and from the airport. Renting a car? Seems like a waste of money to have it sit there for a week.
2. Cost and logistics for hide/meat shipped back to Wisconsin or many cost of having a 1/4 wall mount of a bear. Not sure what to expect here.
I'm going alone which makes it easier in some respects and harder in others. Any other logistics I am missing ?
