Hey Guys,

Great post. sheephunter is right - the costs of guided hunts in the Yukon are getting very expensive. He is also right about being able to hunt moose in most zones with a resident - once every three years. They only allow 100 of these 'special guide' licences a year so have your relatives apply early.
My advice is to go for it with your relatives. Talk to some river guide companies to find out which rivers are safe to travel. Some are a little ugly. Nof60's suggestions are solid. I live in Watson Lake, Yukon and some of the rivers out this way have some nasty canyons and rapids. Most people in this area hunt the rivers anyway but know where to go. Lots of people also go north to Frances Lake and Ross River. The moose are very big bodied so, obviously, be a little careful where you knock it down. The Yukon is an amazing place and any hunt will be an amazing trip. Go for it and enjoy!
