Using an Outfitter to get into the back country for elk moose.
Has anyone used an Outfitter to get them into the back country for Elk and or Moose? What was your experience? How much did it cost? Any recommendations?

Do your due diligence....backcountry is no guarantee of game numbers maybe even the opposite. Unless you are just looking for an epic experience.

Did 2 trips to Tetsa, both successful, 10 days by horse, 4k taxes in,

Isn't Kevin (Riverjet?), the jet boat guy for Tuchodi, technically an outfitter? If so, I used him and he was good. Didn't kill anything, but we were really early in the season because of school and other life inconveniences.

lots of options to get help to get into "remote areas"
Like mentioned, do your homework, sometimes "remote areas" are subject to local knowledge and there are ATV trails into said areas, or in the case of rivers, not actually that remote because everyone has a jet boat.
DIY hunts are easy in BC, don't be afraid, but if you simply don't have the equipment, outfitters via horseback are a great option. The late great BigBore had done several of these, there are lots of outfitters out there. Its on my bucket list, but so is a fly in, not sure which I would do first.

Was think the Tuchodi. Know of a guy that runs a jet boat up that way. I've done a couple of fly ins but because I'm looking at moose or elk it might be less expensive to use a jet boat if the boat can take the hunters and the meat out in one go. My last fly in made it impractical for moose as we were about 45 to 60 minutes in and it would have required two trips to get out. Saw a number of moose too. I've been up the Muskwa on a jet and that boat could not handle a couple of moose, a driver and two guys. The boat wasn't the greatest carry wise. Got us up there though and I was able to get a caribou.
