I recommend this outfitter

We did a float hunt (floated about 35 miles) where they supplied the rafts and some other gear for us, although we did bring most of our own gear. We ended up swapping some duplicate gear they were going to supply for extra salt for our capes which was a great choice on our part. We shot 2 Caribou, 1 Black Bear and 2 Moose, second Moose was shot while we were trying to get to our pickup spot. The pilots landed and when they did not find us the circled the area looking for us finding us about a mile away so one of them landed again and walk out to talk to us. He was laughing when he got to us an told us to finish with our Moose and try to get to our pickup spot. They would try to come back and get one load out that evening if possible, they ended up getting us and all our gear out that evening.

During our hunt they flew in and picked up meat and dropped off Beer when we were in a location where they could land close to us. The gear they supplied for our hunt was excellent, they were well organized and great to work with.

During our hunt the weather was unseasonably hot (some days hit 80 degree's) but we still had a great hunt even with fewer animals moving due to the heat. During our float on the river we saw 7 other hunters (2 parties) and Papa Bear thought that was to many other hunters so they quit hunting that area after that season. We were not concerned at all about these other as we only saw them in passing and were never compeating with them while hunting.
