Reviewer Comments: I went on a D.I.Y. drop off hunt in September of 2007. I hunted for 4 days, saw hundreds of caribou, harvested a mature bull on the first day. On the fourth day, I called in a 52" bull moose and was able to harvest him, also. While the hunt was not perfect, you cannot expect perfect on a DIY Alaska hunt. Weather and conditions can vary greatly, and anybody planning on going to AK to hunt must be prepared for anything. The 40 Mile staff was professional, and extremely honest about what to expect from the hunt. We were flown out to the bush when planned, but bad weather kept us an extra few days out in the field. 40-Mile, while not able to land to pick us up, still flew over our camp to check on us everyday. When I go back to AK, I will book with them again.

Reviewer Comments: drop-camp hunt, lied to multiple times by staff, pilot was good, but no one knew anything about how to hunt/where to camp or anything else that an outfitter ought to know. did not provide safety checks as promised. A dangerous operation to hunt with as far as I'm concerned.
