To the OP, my sincere apologies for my part in the trainwreck that your thread has become; I actually dislike such situations, but, fighting for conservation-sovereignty is my paramount concern.
In my opinion and I do often go home to the Kootenays, and totally apart from any other considerations, I would NOT, at this time, pay to hunt the Kootenays, for Moose.
MY first choice, NOW, would be a hunt with a Yukon outfitter or in the MacKenzie Mts. of Canada*s NWT. These cost more, sadly, but the available hunts will be the hunt of a lifetime.
Do NOT take our comments on allocation posted here personally as they are NOT intended that way, but, this IS the definitive fight for OUR rights and we must win it, now.
So, best of luck with your quest, the trip can be a fabulous experience.
