Damn I'm jealous! If I ever get back to BC you can bet I'll be booking a trip with riverjet. I've just heard too many guys who know what they're talking about raving about the experience.

Say Hi to Kevin for me, still trying to save my cash for another with Riverjet. Talked to him a few times since he took over from Guy Scott.

Kevins a very nice guy and many on here like his knowledge and safety on the rivers.

The area's he access are second to none, you will have to work hard to get your Ram or Rams likely, but no pain no gain. Sure wish I could pack out some of those big Elk you see while chasing Rams. Got my 1st Stone with this outfit. Sure hope to go back some day. Try to arrange to go in a couple days earlier then opening. Watch for G Bears, they eat well up there.

Good luck, can't wait to see your success.

Thank you for the reply we are heading in a couple of days early,which will hopefully help us find some rams and get settled in as this is our first trip like this. Hopefully my wife doesnt read this because everybody that talks about hunting up there mentions grizzly.

On his website he mentions that he takes hunters on the muskwa and tuchodi and I believe he is taking us up the tuchodi.

All depends when and where you are going. Both places can have some traffic and sometimes you will be only boat on the river. Kechika anywhere close to the ten day elk hunt is a zoo. Lots of people go for sheep before or after the short elk season. There will always be a few people on the rivers for the first week of sheep season. I have been on both rivers and been virtually all alone and have also been up there with 30+ trailers at the launch. Early and late season are the quietest for sure.
