This is when the mulchatna heard was still at their peak…. We had some great hunts out there in those years.
wow that's nuts. I think Alaska is quite a bit cheaper for caribou but still has went up a lot recently. Even if I were rich, hunting caribou just is not worth $28k to me. With airfare and other incidentals you'd be into a caribou hunt over $30k. And I love hunting them. Went to AK in 2005 and it was amazing and I shot 2 nice ones around 350" and a nice black bear. I was in about $4500 total on that including bush planes, flying the meat out, guide tip etc…I talked to a northern B C outfitter the other day - $28,000. But Caribou quotas have pushed availability out 4 or 5 years. And no grizzly huntinng anymore.
Now Stone Sheep is $40k to $85k or more.
Sadly hunting like this has become a rich mans sport.Crazy prices.
Me too!I wish I was younger! Good luck with your hunt!
