2010 Unguided Caribou Drop off Hunting Trips
Deltana Outfitters offers unguided Drop off Caribou hunts for hunters interested in doing it on your own trips.
We transport your party either to ridge-tops, river-bottoms or lakes with a Piper Super Cub. Due to baggage compartment weight limits on the Super Cub, your gear cannot weigh more than 60# Total per person. This is an aircraft limit and cannot be exceeded! The limit includes all gear (backpack, sleeping bags, tent, fanny packs, salt, etc.) Fanny packs cannot be worn as they interfere with the seat belt system in the aircraft. These weight limits enable us to put you in areas where other aircraft cannot land and limits competition from other hunters.
Base of operation is Happy Valley Alaska and all prices are based of you arriving at Happy Valley. Happy Valley is located on the Dalton Highway 80 miles south of Prudhoe Bay Alaska. If you wish to fly into Prudhoe Bay and have us pick you up at the Airport and drive you to Happy Valley and return you to Prudhoe Bay this can be arranged.
Cost for this service is $300.00 RT* per person, *min of 2 persons*.
These prices are for Air Transportation from Happy Valley and return to Happy Valley ONLY, per person.
Supercub base rate for 2010 are as follows:
Caribou:
(1) $2,000.00 per person; min 2 persons.
(2) Each person is allowed a max weight of #60 lbs of gear.
(3) This price allows each hunter to take 2 caribou per person.
(4) This price includes transportation of meat, horns and hides to Happy Valley.
(5) If you exceed your maximum allowable gear of 60# per hunter going in, an additional trip can be arranged for $600.00 per R/T trip. A maximum of 200# of gear may be carried and it must physically fit in the super cub. Several small bags or boxes are much better than one or two large ones.
(6) Keep in mind this is only a 5-7 day trip so bring only what you need (what you’ll use) and do your best to keep the weight & bulk to a minimum.
(7) We strongly suggest you rent an Iridium Satellite phone. This phone is a lifesaver. If there is an emergency, you will be forever grateful that you had the phone.
We will schedule your hunt by telephone reservation but do require a deposit. Please read and understand our hunter deposit policies.
1. A deposit equal to 50% of the base rate of your hunt is required to guarantee your hunting reservation. As soon as we receive your deposit, you are locked into that date and hunting spot. We will work with you as much as possible to move your date within the same year and/or to move you to a different spot if it is available.
2. Deposits are for the individual hunter and the upcoming hunting season. If you cancel your hunt the deposit cannot be transferred to the next year's season. Substitutions of hunters within the party are allowed, but if a hunter drops out his deposit is forfeited. As an example, if a reservation for four hunters is made and one hunter cannot hunt, but has a new hunter take his place, the deposit will move to the new hunter. If he cannot find a new hunter to replace him in the party then his deposit is forfeited.
