Let me start by saying I have always considered the price of AK guided hunts to be unrealistically high. I read an ariticle in a hunting rag (I wish I could remember which one)at the newsstand this month. It was written by a guide who was apparently frustrated with ignorant people like myself. The guide layed out what his expenses are for all to see. Running a guide service ain't cheap. Planes, boats, licenses, providing good meals in a wilderness setting, support personnel, advertising, liability insurance etc are big ticket items. At my income level I will never be able to afford a guided hunt, but now I have a better understanding why the prices are what they are. For those that can afford those hunts, they are fulfilling a dream I think we all have, and I wish them well. |
