Great short film, if you like guided sheep hunts for 25 bucks a day. tz: I think he said he was charging $25/day right after WWII. At that time, $25 was a lot of money. A common laborer was paid about $0.60/hour x 8 hours = $3.60/day. $25/day would have been a fee that only wealthy people could afford. At today's cost of living, that would equal about $500/day and a three-week hunt, which he said he recommended, would cost $10,500. Interesting video. Kinda fun to experience a little nostalgia. Thanks for sharing. KC

Im a retro kind of guy.........think it comes with age. It is interesting that caribou hunting is long over in that country and elk are not mentioned though they are in the area. Probably more now then back in the day. Great short film, if you like guided sheep hunts for 25 bucks a day. tz: I think he said he was charging $25/day right after WWII.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

Thanks for sharing. KC Awesome video of some beautiful country that I've enjoyed myself. I don't think $10,500 for a 21-day hunt for multiple species in some of the best country you could ask for is excessive
