reserveusa website, and bushpilots
Posted by stevesch on Feb 28 2006
ran into this a couple times while fly-fishing:
Once, I noticed that the website for the forest service cabins sometimes noted private land and contact info for entry; since area was uninhabitated, I didn't contact them nor see anyone when there, and wasn't hunting nor in possession of arms anyhow. Nothing was posted.
Another time (also not hunting), a bushpilot told me that the area (Wrangell-St.Elias wilderness) I was flying into was native corporation land, and said he had to collect $30 per person per day to fly people in there and was going to add it to my bill. I signed some official-looking document that had something to do with a permit from the Federal government to collect fees and native lands settlement etc... It didn't specify what we could or couldn't do there.
The first day there, a bear guide landed his plane near our camp and said he had exclusive rights to hunt, but we talked to him, said we had paid for a permit and weren't hunting. I believe the same fee applies to all of the native lands in a huge area (its now up to $50/day pp).
Another corporation, way the heck out on the peninsula, states a fee of $10 a day for whatever activity for their lands.
I'd like to hear what reasonable fees are (hunting and non-hunting).
