Moose
Hunt MS250
NORTHWEST TERRITORY MOOSE $15,000 IN CANADIAN
FUNDS
This outfitter only takes about 4 to 6 moose
hunters per year in his 7,000 square mile area.
Last fall 4 of his 5 hunters took bulls, but the overall average was
down due to a late spring causing poor horn growth.
Over the past years HCU customers have taken bulls averaging 62
inches and caribou over 380 gross score Boone and Crockett on this hunt.
He flies hunter and guide into a remote tent
camp where they hike and glass.
10-day hunts from September 10 to 19 guided 1x1 during the rut are $15,000
CANADIAN FUNDS plus tags, 5% tax and caribou trophy fee of $4,000.
Once you score the hunter is typically flown back to base camp where
you can enjoy a hot shower with cabin accommodations and some fishing for
lake trout and grayling. They
close their season on September 19 for all hunts due to early winters, so
the moose hunts are prime time.
Cliff Graham and Bob Wodzisz have taken moose and caribou with this outfit.
Charter flight from Norman Wells is about $1,000.

Bob decided to take this bull with a nice spread after looking over lots of
bulls and getting to watch his bull fight with another rival.

One of our guides loading up at Willow Camp for our ride back to the main
base camp at Palmer Lake. Game rich country with beautiful scenery.

Everyone including the cook gets into the action when it comes time to flesh
and salt a moose cape. It can take about 8 hours to get the cape completed
in the field. This is an enjoyable time for the hunter back at camp
listening and telling stories over a hot cup of coffee while the gang is
working on his antlers and hide.

Flying into the main base camp on Palmer Lake. This camp is really
modernized for being in the bush. They built a small hydro plant on the
stream by the camp and it services electricity to all the buildings. Nice
hot showers and the whole deal. Really a neat place.

Lake with their bulls. 100% success and Shosh was only after a caribou.

Here we are loading up to head home. Notice the skiff of snow already. This
is their best and last moose hunt of the season and is the same dates and
camp we hunted out of.
