Thread: Realistic cost to hunt Moose in Yukon ??

After any info on an all up cost to hunt Moose in the Yukon or if it’s realistically possible to do Tags licences etc , any recommendations of outfitters?? There’s so many on the intraweb and all seem to differ in pricing, if anyone has done it or has any info it would be greatly appreciated Cheers

@R93 would be able to give you a good idea when he gets back into reception (could be a while)

Copy that would be great to hear from someone who’s been there and done it

Have done 2 seasons in BC, way up near the Yukon border, in 2016 it was about US$15000 for a week to 10 day moose hunt. Thats just the hunt cost - then you gotta get there, and be prepared to tip, on average about $100 per day for your guide and some for the wrangler or junior guide and camp cook etc. Amazing animals to hunt, well worth the trip. And so bloody big!

Thanks Husky !! Hope the trips were successful. From what I’ve read is the only real option a fully guided hunt?, being an alien non resident hunter

Cheers 7mm !!

My hunt in 2002 cost only $6900 US which was good but the exchange rate was only .42 cents US for our dollar so I ended up paying about $ 14 000 NZ for my hunt alone( in Alaska ) then there was the air fare , hotel bills, getting the head and head skin processed, shipping it back to NZ, and so on. Very expensive but a trip of a life time . You will be up for at least $18,000 to $25 000 Canadian for a Moose hunt these days plus all the other bits. Make sure you specify what you want eg 60 plus inch spread , or maybe three to four brow points a side and make sure that they are available in the outfitters area. Some areas may only have a 50 inch average. Good luck and generally the closer to the Alaskan border the bigger the moose.

Thanks for all the replies guys !! Some big decisions ahead hahaha

Before you decide check out the Moose on the Kamchatka peninsula. Direct flight to Japan then across to Russia. Google Kamchatka Hunting

Thanks will do

I was working 90 km East of Dease Lake, all the moose taken in that area were 60" plus, and had to have at least 3 points on the bottom tyne, or 10 total overall on one side, so pretty big. Can post some pics sometime if I only knew how!

Hey Husky what is the success rate for bagging a Moose like that...... if there is one, would many hunts pull a donut ??

For that sort of money I’d want a money back guarantee

Be nice if that was the case !!!!.......... doubtful though

Here are some prices. note most seem to be in US$
