Plane drop off in wilderness

[schoolhousegrizz]

Does anybody have any information about getting dropped off in the wilderness on a bear hunt from an airplane? I'm thinking about taking my daughter when she graduates in a few years. I have no idea who to get in touch with or the cost of something like this. Not looking to be a guided, just looking to get dropped off.

Sounds like a ton of fun! I hope you get something put together.

Shepp Ranch might do that for you. I know they'll do jet boat drops. Mackay bar ranch is another. Otherwise look in Grangeville and McCall for pilots.

Gem Air is who you want to talk to. Great people too!

G&S aviation is another one.

McColl (sp?) Air is another

Only on established runways if you are talking "wilderness"

That's why I'd try the ranches first. Those are private strips and I'm not sure when some of those public wilderness strips get open. Chamberlain basin is 6000 feet and a bunch of others I've been to are that high or higher. It's still snowing above 4000, or it was last week.

Moose Creek on the Selway would be a good one that isn't real high elevation.

Talk to Pete at Middle Fork Aviation in Challis Idaho. Everything you need to know. Website, Facebook, or just call.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I wasn't expecting this much so I really appreciate it.

Salmon Air Taxi has been good to me.
