Fly in Drop Hunts

[Sharpish]

We didn't have horses or trailers. Wall tent, canoe, and boots.

Has anyone used these guys and rented a cabin?

Its Urs place, Northern Rockies Lodge. I have hunted Netson Lake before the cabin went in and we had a great hunt!! Not sure what it is like now. I am sure the lakes he has cabins on are all busy, but if you have a boat and are not afraid to burn boot leather, you will increase your odds on being successful.

I am planning a caribou hunt in 2019 and will be digging into locations and costs this winter. Will be following this post as well.

I'd like to do a fly in but have been very satisfied with Riverjet adventures ( 1 ) and Steamboat Mnt Outfitters (3) times. I'd go back to either of them again. Yes more money, but great areas ..... And well worth not sleeping in a cabin lol and roughing it a tad more.

Are there any other operators offering fly in packages? Someone told me there was an operation at the outdoor show in Abby last year that was offering fly in packages.

I have been reading lots of positive reviews on Alpine Air. As a first time fly in hunter I am curious how one decides on a lake or area? Does one look to the charter operator for some guidance or suggestions?

We are flexible on the species and or combination of species, with all of the discussion and our own experience last month on the Tuchodi and Muskwa being hammered with wolves we are thinking Moose, Caribou, and possibly sheep and goats.

We are looking at 2019 for 3 hunters.

Thanks to those that offer positive comments, much appreciated.

Thanks

Flew with Alpine air twice now (the last this august). I would recommend them in a heart beat. Great people. They even came to pick me up at the Whitehorse airport before they flew me out.

I think for the most part you have to have your lake picked out. Don't think to many outfits will tell you where to go as this could be seen as guiding/outfitting by some. They are there just to drop you off and pick you up.

BHB,
Thanks for the feedback, trying to plan a hunt of this nature without ever being in the area makes it challenging, Thats also a reason why Riverjet and Steamboat are good options. I know in the case of Kevin at Riverjet he is very good at suggesting a spot to drop you based on your hunting style and goals.
