Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Alaska float hunt success

Went and did my once in a life time Alaska float hunt with my best friend and his 74 y/o dad, and a guide. We floated the Kichatna River with Hidden Alaska outfitters. My friend got a decent brown bear and I got a 53" moose. We were scheduled to do a 14 day float but cut it short do to circumstances. The experience was about what I expected. Lots of work, lots or rain, more work, and some blisters on the hands from rowing 50+ miles of river. Glad we did it, but I probably won't sign up to do it again.

First time I've ever seen a heli tow an airplane out. Someone had a hard landing apparently.

I ended up with 684# of meat, with bone in quarters only, at the processor.
