General Information for All Self-Guided Fly-out Hunts
Number of Hunters in Party
Unlimited, but typically 2-6.
Length of Stay
Unlimited but typically 3-7 days. We highly recommended that hunters allow ample time for their hunt and allow for in climate weather days on either end of their hunt. Weather can be unpredictable during the spring months in Alaska and we will not fly in unsafe conditions.
Weight Limitation
80 lbs per person including, camp equipment. You will be flying in a small aircraft with strict weight limitations so we ask that you keep mindful of this when preparing for your trip. Also, pack your gear, equipment in small, waterproof dry bags (not garbage bags), as these are much easier to transport in the plane. Suitcases, large duffle bags and hard gun cases, cases of soft drinks and other similar bulky and heavy items that exceed your weight limitations and our aircrafts space, can be transported separately for additional cost. Do not bring Bear Spray as FAA regulations do not permit us to carry this on board our aircraft.
Field Communication
There is limited to no cell phone coverage in most backcountry areas in Alaska. Prior to your hunt it is highly recommended that you rent and bring an IRIDIUM satellite phone (do not rent another brand, as it will not work). These phones are your best means of communication with our base camp and are a life saver if you have an emergency. IRIDUM satellite phones can be rented from a number of different Sat phone rental companies locally or on line and are fairly economical running from $50 to $90 per week.
Weather Conditions and Climate
Spring weather conditions in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley and surrounding areas are generally good with temperatures, typically ranging from lows in the low 30s to highs in the mid 60s. Rainfall in this area is general average.
Bugs
Black flies and mosquitoes are almost always prevalent in the Alaska backcountry and can be encountered during the spring summer and fall. Drier years are less buggy. We recommend hunters take ample supplies of bug spray, head nets, etc. to protect themselves from these pesky critters.
