Folks,

This is what a successful moose hunt is supposed to look like. Big boy is 66" with everything.

Mark,

What does a moose hunt like that cost?

MARK!!!!!! Spit it out, man. Details, details. Looks like a great hunt.

Guys,

Actually that is a picture of a friend with the results of their late season hunt in Unit 17 this year. The smaller racks are 62" and 58". If you remember I posted a picture of the 65" I helped Jerry Huffaker take last year also in Unit 17.

I don't concentrate on Alaska but I do have an outfitter with about 20 years experience in Unit 17 I can work with. He gets $9500 for a 10 day 1x1 hunt. There are a few cheaper hunts but you can also pay $14000 for no bigger moose than what you might find in Unit 17.

If anybody would like more details contact me anytime.

Mark

Just for grins, what combos (if any) does he offer?

DB

DB

Moose/brown bear 16 days $17000. After yuor moose you would change areas to the Togiak Refuge that is just loaded with bears.

Moose/caribou 12days $14000. You will get a caribou unless you are really unlucky.

Mark

Thank you, Mark.

Alright I'll bite what does BS, YAKUTIA mean? I think I got the BS part. Evidently there is something you know about Unit 17 that I don't after I lived there 22 years. Please enlighten me. That exact area where the picture above was taken has produced several bulls in the high 70's that I know about. Bulls like that are not common anywhere.

Mark,

The Yakutia moose in eastern Siberia are the biggest moose in the world.

I am sure that 17 is the GMU.

It wasn't mean to be an insult. I probably could have worded it differently.

Take a look at this.

Glad we got that straightened out. All I was saying in my previous post was that I thought your chances of taking a really big Alaska/Yukon moose were very good in my old stomping grounds around Unit 17 near Dillingham, Alaska. I was not saying that Unit 17 had the biggest moose in the world.

D99:
Do you have any info on how the Yakutia moose would score using the B&C system?
Thanks.

It would not score. B&C only records north american animals.

It "would score", it would just not be entered.

I don't know how the B&C for moose works. What I know is that moose in Yakutia and Chukotka have the heaviest antlers of any animal in the world.

Boone and Crocket isn't as good a scoring system as C.I.C. is but my fellow Europeans like mass!

Ask one of the big booking agents that book moose in both places the real differences.
