Fly In Hunt Costs

[Ron.C]

Good Day all,

My hunting partner and I are looking at our first sheep hunt next fall. We are looking at all options and are still early in the planning stage.

We are not big camp hunters, nor do we need a cabin. We've done a few backpack hunts for goat and plan on bringing in the same gear for sheep. Keep it light and mobile. And it would only be the two of us.

We are considering a Fly in hunt as a option for a 10 day hunt. I'm not going to get into hunting areas, but would like to know from those who have done a fly in hunt in the last year or two, what sort of ball park costs are we looking at for the air charter? I understand cost will vary based on duration of flight time.

thanks

Beaver was $10/mile 2 years ago, you pay 2 return trips, with a 40 mile minimum. Off of Dease lake.

I think it's about 8.50 a mile. But it could be higher.

You also have have to remember it's four flight. One to get in, one to get the pilot out. Another to come get you and the last to take you home. So if the lake is 10 miles away you can count on a 40 mile cost.

I think the guy out of muncho has a list of prices in a flyer at the front desk. He should be able to help you if you call the front desk at northern Rockies lodge. He can email prices or maybe look up the website, I don't know if he lists the costs to each lake he flies to.

Hmmm is Muncho lake Urs? Too expensive.
Last year moose out of Atlin was over $ 9 per air mile..Beaver. .1200 pounds load limit.

Yes Urs is at Muncho and yes he is very expensive !!!

If money is an issue look at chartering a 185 or a 206. Much cheaper than a beaver.

Lol..diesel was $1.80 liter..
Met 3 Americans that dropped $50,000 for their moose adventure..I have never afforded Urs prices..
Cheers
Cheap

Depending which lake you pick will be in that 1000$ each range.

Last year BC/Yukon charged us $9.50 a mile for the beaver, X4 of course. My third time out of dease, each year the price has gone up $.50, so good chance they'll be $10 this year.
