    Why is shed hunting so popular now?

    Its popular because people are infatuated with killing big animals, so much that they have lost sense in the essence of the hunt and are totally focused on the outcome. What's amazing is the outcome doesn't really matter to anyone but themselves. People are hung up on how other perceive their...

    How much freezer for a bull moose?

    You can never have too much freezer space. I have two upright freezers bought out of necessity... because we killed 2 moose one season. One is 18CF the other is 24CF. Two AK moose barely fit, and we had some other products spread around a few other small freezers and gave some away. I measure...

    Calf Mortality After Cow Dies

    Not sure how applicable it is to elk, but I believe Alaska F&G has done a few studies on moose calf survival. Many/most cow permits here prohibit the taking of a cow with a calf unless the unit/area is over populated, then it doesn't matter because calf mortality is high and they want the...

    Gun range mistake.

    Doubt you messed anything up pressures would be really low. I'm surprised you didn't get any blowback. I should have 300 WSM out of a 325 WSM. Similar results less recoil Hit the ground about 3 feet low. I also fire form cases for various wildcats but usually not at full capacity and I make...

    Reliable air transportation services in Alaska

    The number of air taxis gets smaller and smaller every year. The cost keeps going up most are so stupid high it's become OIL type adventure for residents. I can't blame them for charging what the market requires, but getting $1000 an hour or more or a plane ride is getting to be the norm.

    Erik Molvar: Anti-Hunting Activist and Western Watersheds Project

    Want to feel slimy? Follow WWP on Instagram. The hatred they exude for everything, their support of wacky legislation and their chest thumping we gotta sue em attitude is sickening.

    Lets see those 375's

    Dry and wet versions. M70 safari and a bubba M700. I love 375h&h I've killed a few animals over over 300 yards with it. Very similar trajectory to a 308. My favorite is the sound it makes when it hits.

    Sleeping bag for alaska

    If you are setting up a base camp and really it doesn't matter once you're there, I'd just bring what you have. If you are moving a few times, I would get a 15deg bag. Lots of deals for end of summer. Wiggys bags are nice, but they are for truck camping. Cheap bags tend to over estimate their...

    Looking for suggestions on a new caliber

    I'm never one to talk a guy out of a new rifle, but a 25-06 is about as perfect of a deer rifle as they make, IMO. I like the 270, 280, 708 and 308. I doubt you could see any meaningful different from the 25-06 though. 280 is my favorite, but ammo would be harder to find. Seems like there is...

    Do you like my elk hunt plan?

    Having hunted elk a bit. I like to hunt elk where they are found rather than where you don't think you'll see people. Do you think they will be that high up? Hard to say how much harassments they will get from archery hunters. Elk are big animals an need a lot of feed and will move around a lot...

    Bury Me In The Mackenzie Mountains

    You'd thinking they would be very interested in gathering data on those sheep considering they only shoot a few dozen a year in the NWT. Management aside, just finding a ram of that caliber, let alone 2 and getting them on the ground is not that easy taks, between time constraints and...

    Bury Me In The Mackenzie Mountains

    Both are amazing sheep, thanks for sharing the stats. Did you get them measured and sealed? Curious to know what the bios say compared to the outfitter. They pulled a tooth on mine as well, but the margin of error on teeth and judging rings is the same at 1yr. Its so hard to guess them from...

    Bury Me In The Mackenzie Mountains

    @Big Fin you said said Andy's was 1/2" longer and 1/4" bigger around. What were the specs on yours? Both are super rams, and I think I may be underestimating them, pictures are hard to judge. Looking forward to the video of this one. What a great adventure, thanks for writing that up and sharing.

    12 days in South Africa - Free State, Cape Town, and Franschhoek

    Looks like a great trip. Nice animals. Did you have a contract? I would be pissed if they jacked the prices around.
