Greetings,
I'm an Australian planning my first BC hunt. I'm looking at a moose hunt in Northern BC in October and am trying to figure out how best to get to the start point for the hunt.
Anyhow. I'll be flying into Fort St. John which appears to be the nearest town that Air Canada can get me to. Then I need to hire a car ( a Toyota corolla or similar)and drive up to very near the Yukon border and return, via the Alaska Hwy? The hunt starts in early October and finishes mid October. I have no experience with driving on ice or snow. I'm allowing 2 days driving each way.
So my question is: Am I being realistic or is what I'm proposing dumb?
I've looked at flying to Fort Nelson with Central Mountain Air... but getting flight details etc seems to be a problem and after a few attempts I've given up on that idea. Especially considering I'd still have to hire a car.
Also. How do you rate Air Canada with handling firearms and luggage. Can I expect lost luggage or do they have a good reputation?
Thanks in advance.
Bob
