Trying to put together a hunt on P.O.W the third week of May 2008. Here's the deal, if anyone is interested.
Boathunter has a cozy cabin with full kitchen and bathroom that sleeps 4 or more, a 16ft Lund with a 125 horse Johnson, and a Nissan Pathfinder 4x4, that he rents as a package deal for $2800.00 per week. He also let's us use as many crab and shrimp pots as we want.
My group of 4 took 2 nice bears on a trip in the fall of 2005. I had two co-workers that hunted the Spring of 2006 and saw over fifty bears just cruising the shorelines. They both harvested bears.
I've only got one other person so far. I would like to find 2, 3, or 4 more people.
Here is a ballpark price breakdown:
Cabin, Boat, and Truck Rental- 4 Guys 700.00, 5 guys 560.00, 6 guys 470.00
Hunting License and Bear Tag- 310.00
Airfare to Ketchikan from Boise- Currently 550.00
Airfare Ketchikan to Hollis- 150.00 roundtrip.
Misc. (food, hide shipping)- 350.00
Remember these are estimates. Obviously airfare could change (I paid 325.00 out of Idaho Falls last time). Depending on your taste in food and your alcohol consumption you could spend more or less on miscellaneous things. Also depending on flight times it may be necessary to stay a night or two at a hotel in Ketchikan.
At the very most this trip (with a minimum of four guys) will not cost more than $2,500 and could be as inexpensive as $1,700 but will most likely fall somewhere in between.
$2,500 is pretty inexpensive for a trophy black bear hunt.....
