Willow Air is very proud of it's moose hunts in western Alaska.
This is a 10 day unguided hunt with a boat and motor or zodiac or a float
trip to hunt a section of Innoko river. We will supply your boat and
motor with 10 gallons of gasoline or a raft, there is a minimum of 2 people.
It offers an excellent chance of taking a trophy moose with over a 50%
success rate. This is one of our most popular hunts and we only take a
limited number of people. Black Bear and wolf are also
available in this area. The cost of a moose hunt on the Innoko River
for the year 2008 is $3450.00 per person plus $300.00 for boat and motor or
raft.
The following are some suggestions and information regarding airfare, baggage, etc., for McGrath. We do our best to try to make your hunt as pleasurable as possible, but due to logistics it is advisable to follow these guidelines. You will need to make your own air reservations to McGrath for your hunt. Currently there is only one air carrier in Alaska that flies to McGrath - Pen Air. Their toll-free phone number is 1(800) 448-4226. At this time the cost of the air fare is $359.00 with our outfitters discount. Please tell them when you are booking your flight so you will receive the outfitters discount. We recommend you send all extra gear ahead of your flight as cargo with Northern Air Cargo. Their toll-free number is 1(800)727-2141. You will need to send your extra gear with an air carrier of your choice to Northern Air Cargo in Anchorage. Be sure to have your return address on the cargo. Send it to Northern Air Cargo for them to forward to Your Name, c/o Willow Air Service, McGrath, Alaska 99627. It is important to include the name Willow Air Service so the McGrath Airport will keep it until your arrival. (The weight limit per customer for your Willow Air flight is 150 lbs of gear per person.) Northern Air Cargo needs to receive your cargo 3-4 days before your arrival in McGrath. This will ensure your cargo will be at the airport when you arrive. Northern Air Cargo will not accept any hazardous material. This includes Pepper (Bear) Spray. You must pack your ammunition in the luggage that Pen Air takes. Also, please bring soft gun cases for your guns, as this will take less room in our aircraft. Northern Air Cargo does not have facilities to take care of your meat. You'll need to arrange for your meat before leaving McGrath. Northern Air Cargo does not require wax wetlock boxes, but they will not accept any bleeders. All antlers must be tip protected. All other major airlines (your second carrier) will require wax wet-lock boxes and will not accept meat in game bags. There is a meat processor, Tom Whitmire,
located in McGrath in September. His costs are comparable to those in
Wasilla and Anchorage. We recommend you use him if you do not have
arrangements for your meat being picked up in Anchorage. If you do not want
all your meat, there are people in McGrath who will take it. |
