Fly In Hunt Etiquette

[Downtown]

All things considered, nobody but nobody is able to find out ahead of time of another Party's schedule.

If you wish to Fly in and have plenty of Space pick a big Lake and bring a Boat with Motor. This allows you to move if somebody is crowding you.

So if your supposedly "remote trip" ends up with several camps stacked on the same lake, through no fault of your own you're supposed to just accept it as your own doing?

there are always options
your choices dictate the outcome

Nothing is perfect. Nothing is overtly intentional. Adapt. I still say BC Yukon does the best job possible. However if you are unhappy either talk to Billy or just go elsewhere. As Boxhitch says,,,adapt.

So thanks for some good perspectives. As. Opted there are no guarantees and I think most floAt plane companies try to help out. But I think the hunters can pull their own end to reduce the chance of overlap. It’s mostly about planning ahead and when a situation arises doing your best to reduce overlap. I am going to pick lakes with lower probability of overlap, I’ll talk with the pilot in advance about our expectations if we find someone else there, I’ll have a few good back up options and the pilot will know what those are before we lift off to avoid confusion.

Thanks all!

We didn’t have the best experience with BC YUKON either. Can’t remember the Kiwi pilots name but she was friendly enough. Prices are up up up and customer service is going down like a beaver with a live buffalo strapped to each pontoon.

I flew in September with BC Yukon Air for the third year in a row. Great customer service. I paid the same rate ($9.50/mile) as I did last year.

me too. 4 times in three years. Prices are down a little from $10/mile a couple years ago

Thankfully in Manitoba we have many lakes, and only 1 plane company. I couldn't fathom flying into a lake with a group already there.

I haven't been here for years but I agree with Ryan. What a bunch of self pity bullshit.
