AIRCRAFT CHARTERS: Many hunters choose an air charter service to fly in to prime hunting areas to hunt these species. The air charter operator is licensed by state to charge for flying hunters and their game meat. The drop-off hunt is less expensive than a guided or outfitted hunt because air charter takes care of transportation and may throw in some planning tips. The hunter provides all of camp gear and performs all other functions on his own. Before you contract with an air charter operator, you should have a clear understanding of costs of services and know exactly which services to expect. Prices and services vary considerably. Air charter operators may charge a flat rate or by hour for flight time. When calculating costs on an hourly rate, you have to take into account “dead-head” time, time a pilot spends flying back to base after dropping you off and time spent flying out to pick you up. Again, be sure to ask whether package includes flying out meat and antlers. Some package deals also include being checked on at least once during hunt to bring out game or move you if you haven’t been successful. The cost of air charters also depends on size of plane and number of hunters sharing cost. Make sure you explain number of hunters in your group and amount of gear you will have. There are two ways to go — you can pick a specific site and ask pilot to take you there, or you can choose a general area and ask pilot for a good hunting spot within that area. When planning your trip, keep weather condition in mind. Besides making your hunting miserable, poor weather may disrupt your flying plans. Allow time on both ends of your schedule for weather disruptions — how much time depends on normal frequency of bad weather for area at that time of year. Ask air charter operator for references. You can search online for licenced transporters in your area. Check also this extensive list of Alaska Aircraft Charters, Bush Pilots, Air Taxis. FIREARMS: State law prohibits following: Fully automatic firearms Rifles with a barrel less than 16" Shotguns with a barrel less than 18", Rifles or shotguns less than 26" in total length Rifles, shotguns and handguns are legal for hunting in Alaska.
