We did a hunt in the Frank church last year, and it was $12k for 2 of us. We had a great time and felt it was worth it to do it again next year. Yes it’s a chunk of change, but I work to make memories.

Cody Carr initially grabbed my attention, but it seems like his hunts are based on a dozen or so hunters in camp. We’re hoping to do something more along the lines of just us and a guide, so reading those reviews were a bummer because his site has some great success pictures on it!

Thank you!

When hunting BC or the Yukon, aside from having to go with an outfitter does that negate the need for luck in a draw? Seems that way from what I’ve been reading, and other than the higher costs that’d be a way to get at a couple different sheep and a goat without having to wait years...

Maybe this already exists elsewhere and I didn’t find it in searching, in which case I apologize and will delete this. But I’d like to create a reference for best practices to have a variety of successful big game hunts. Which animals can you have good hunts at with OTC tags, which states should...

Thanks for all of the great suggestions! Has anyone ever done elk hunts, or combo elk hunts, in parts of Canada? Looks pretty common for them to do combo elk/moose hunts in comparison to the combo elk/deer hunts here...

Luckily we’re planning this for next year, so hopefully that frees up options by not doing this last minute. Looking at their site, it definitely looks like the type of hunt we’d be interested in and they’ve got pictures of plenty of respectable bulls! Have you ever hunted with them personally?

That’s what I’m afraid of after not even finding a single elk last year, and only 8 deer (2 bucks). Couldn’t have pictured better terrain, and the guide worked hard, but the animals just weren’t anywhere to be found...

Thanks for the additional info! My dad is in the same boat for the most part, AZ excluded. Besides, he worked hard for years until retiring earlier this year - he’s earned it! These both sound like encouraging options, I’ll check them out!

Thanks for the info everyone! @257Tony if we bump the budget up a bit higher, say to $9k, have you had some great experiences with Outfitters you’d recommend? @Backcountry_IDN we’ll Mikey be using a guide once he gets drawn in AZ, although we are much more familiar with areas here. I’ve...

Hey everyone, I’m hoping to get some recommendations from folks who have recent, hands-on experience. I’ve searched this forum going back a few years and have found similar threads from 2015 or so, but a lot can change in a few years especially with the impacts wolves have had in a few areas...
