• Your cost of travel to Anchorage before the hunt begins, and the cost of getting home from Anchorage.

• Any lodging in Anchorage before or after the hunt

• The costs of your processing and shipping trophies and meat which will vary by the things like the type of trophy, amount of meat, which taxidermist / tanner you use, which shipping service you use, etc.

• Gratuities / Tips for your guides if you choose to do so

• Camp food will be available from your guide from pickup to drop-off in Anchorage, but as we are traveling to and from camp, you may choose to dine out at a restaurant or purchase souvenirs along the way.

• During the Spring Bear Hunts, there is a full service lodge in the area where you can stay for a night or two of luxury during your hunt, and any costs for that you would pay directly to the lodge.
  
  3.  Are there any extra costs associated with charter flights or bush plane drop offs or flying once you have arrived in Anchorage ?  NO
  
  4.  Is there communication with the outside world while in hunting camp or out hunting ?  Yes, a satellite communication device will be accessible to you free of charge. 
  
  5.  How much weight are you expected to carry while hunting on foot and am I expected to carry a backpack ?  YES, as far as weight, a bare minimum would be around 10 pounds but likely most folks minimal gear weight will be around 15 - 20 pounds (not including weight of your own weapons and ammo or arrows/bolts )

  11.  Do you need to bring a handgun ?  No, but you are welcome to.
  
  12.  What caliber do is recommended for Grizzly Bear ? 

  Minimum caliber of 300 Win. Mag. BUT even more important than caliber being adequate for the game is that you are using a weapon that you are FAMILIAR and PROFECIENT with!
  
  13.  Do I allow real long distance shots on game ?  Generally NO with few exceptions.  But I’m happy to discuss this in more detail. 
  
  14.  How far will you have to walk or climb ?  You should come prepared to hike a minimum of 5 miles per day. It could be more, it could be less, there are just too many variables to say for sure, but that minimum ensures your best chance of success.
  
  15.  Do I do any moose or caribou or mountain goat hunts ?  NO, not at this time.
  
  16.  Can a non-hunter/observer come ?  YES, with an an additional daily camp fee for each person.
  
  17.  Can a youth (someone under 18 years of age) come ? We would need to discuss this on a case by case basis.
  
  18.  Can I accommodate a hunter wanting to hunt by means of Archery, Muzzleloading, Shotgun, Handgun, Antique Gun ?  YES, but we must discuss the details before you can book your hunt.
  
  19.  Are we required to pack out the meat of any Bears ?  NO. Legally you are not required to. With the EXCEPTION of Black Bears harvested in the Spring through May 31 which are required to have their meat salvaged.  However, I do encourage Bear hunting clients to take some bear meat. We usually cook some up in camp, and everyone so far has been pleasantly surprised with how palatable it is (and this goes for both the Grizzly Bear & Black Bear Meat). 
  
  20.  How many other Hunting Clients will be in Camp ?  I would never plan on having more than 2 clients in a camp for a given hunt, however the bulk of my current hunts are limited to 1 client only.
  
  21.  How many Guides will be helping on the hunt ?  Depends on if it is a Spring Bear Hunt or a Fall Hunt, in the Spring I may be the only guide guiding you, but there is a possibility of having a second guide helping in the Spring as well and a Packer/General Camp Helper.  In the Fall there will likely be at least 2 licensed Guides in camp and sometimes 3, regardless if there is only 1 hunting client with us on the hunt, as well as likely a Packer/General Camp Helper.
  
  22.  What kind of Camp is the Fall hunting Camp ?  A remote tent camp.
  
  23.  What kind of Camp is the Spring Bear Hunting Camp ?  A few options in the Spring, they include a Cabin, RV, Full Service Lodge ( at an extra per day/night Cost for the Full Service Lodge ) or Tent Camp.
