    How young is too young to hunt.

    In my opinion it depends on the kid and the circumstances they were raised in. I'm an old fart and was raised in a different time, but here's how it was for me... Born in Alaska, Dad a lifelong outdoorsman and Mom a full blooded Inupiat Eskimo. Alaska was a big unsettled wilderness in the...

    Any Previous Tok Air Service Hunters? Booked for 2024 and have some ?'s

    This year we flew in on August 30 and flew back to Tok on Sep 6 I think. All of my caribou hunts in that area were end of August fly-ins, hunt for 6 days or so, return to Tok around Sep 6 or 7. To add to my earlier comments on wood, and to follow up on what Bambistew said - we never brought a...

    Any Previous Tok Air Service Hunters? Booked for 2024 and have some ?'s

    I haven't hunted with Tok Air Service, but have hunted caribou many times with 40 Mile Air, so I was hunting the same country that you will be. Responses to your specific questions below... Seek Redcliff and stove for 3 people, plus a gear tent, is the stove worth it? is there plenty of wood...

    Montana Moose & Mental Fortitude

    Great bull and great story, well told! One question - You mentioned during your mental break that you and your wife went to a couple Phillies playoff games. If you're in Montana, where did you go to see those?

    Man, what a great story! Kudos to Dad on transferring a once in a lifetime tag, and kudos to your daughter for sticking with it through the slow days, and being prepared for the shot opportunity when it presented itself!

    Should I buy a .338?

    I've had a .338 WinMag (Ruger Model 77, 3 position safety) for nearly 20 years; it was my Alaska hunting rifle. I loved hunting with that rifle, it probably fits me better than any other rifle I have owned. I like shooting 225 grain or 250 grain Swift A Frames out of it; this year I tried some...

    Looking to book DIY Caribou 2024

    Can't go wrong with 40 Mile Air, the challenge there is that they typically get fully booked with repeat customers. I would call them and check the date and time when new customers can try to book a reservation (it's typically sometime in mid-December). On the day/time they give you, I would...

    What is your single top hunting season goal this year? I expect updates damn it.

    I only had one goal for this season - to find a way to motivate my buddy to properly prepare himself, and his son, for our flyout Alaska caribou hunt this past September. He's been to Ak with me 4 times previously, so I shoulda known better...but I figured taking his son for a...

    Caribou - Lets See Them!

    Yea, I hunted the Mulchatna herd in 2002 and 2004, the decline was evident in both of those years. On a 10 day moose/caribou hunt in 2004, we saw about 1600 caribou in 10 days, but saw less than 20 shooter bulls among that 1600.

    Caribou - Lets See Them!

    I love hunting caribou more than any other animal! All of the pictures below are hunting in the 40 Mile country, flying out of Tok. I shot some caribou in the early 2000s flying out of Dillingham and Iliamna, but would have to dig up those photos in a box somewhere... 2010 Bull. The guy I...

    Semi Custom/ handloaded ammo opinions

    I tried some Pendleton ammo for the first time this year on my AK caribou hunt, when I was having trouble finding the ammo I like (225 grain Swift A Frame for my .338 WinMag). I don't have a fancy rifle, it's a Ruger M77 stainless synthetic with a Leupold 2.5x-8x on top. They asked me some...
