    In Defense of Mountain House -- a Treatise

    I've stuck with MH for all of my remote Alaska hunts, as well as deer hunting in Maryland. On the deer hunts I would go up the mountain in the morning, with MH/stove/water/fuel in my backpack. Late morning I would fire up the stove, boil water, and reminisce about past Alaska hunts. Only had to...

    Kodiak Goat Down

    WOW - that's a beautiful coat on that billy, and are you sure you're on Kodiak?? Those are some of the sunniest pics I can remember ever seeing from the island. Congrats on getting it done in a big way!

    My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

    I was indeed very fortunate to have some awesome hunt partners to share the remote hunts with. I found most of them on this forum and other hunting forums by simply sending out a message in October, seeking a hunt partner for the following year. They all proved to be outstanding hunters...

    My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

    What a great hunt we had in 2010 Nick! You set a high bar for future hunt partners and shot the best caribou I have seen taken in the 40 Mile country over all those years! Thanks for sharing in some incredible memories.

    My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

    If you can make it happen sooner than later, that would be good...the game populations are not growing, the predator populations are really growing, and the number of units that NRs can hunt seems to be shrinking (resident hunting opps are shrinking too based on game populations). From all I...

    My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

    Hey Knute! Good to see you still on here. I am 62 now and have been doing these since 2002...I dated my girlfriend coast-to-coast (she in CA, me in MD) for 20 years before I retired in 2020. She and I have a ton of places we want to see, so I'm not willing to invest the 2-3 weeks each fall to...

    My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

    The next morning I rousted the guys out of bed and told them we had a busy morning ahead of us. We had planned to fly back to Tok the following day – but with the weather we had encountered, I didn’t want to chance any weather delays if I could help it. My plan was to get all the meat packed...

    My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

    This was the toughest weather of any of my 12-15 remote Alaska hunts since 2002. We were in the field for 7 days, and it either rained or snowed every day except for the day we flew back to Tok. We spent a lot more time in the tent than we would have liked, as the low cloud cover at 3800 feet...

    My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

    On the 2nd and 3rd days of our hunt, we got about 3” of wet snowfall over the course of 30 hours or so. No visibility and wet snow meant that we pretty much stayed in the tent throughout the storm to keep warm and dry. I was pretty impressed with my nephew, at one point we were in the sleep tent...

    My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

    Somewhere along the way to Alaska I had caught some type of cold/flu, and hadn’t been sleeping well; between our night in Tok and our first night in camp, I probably got a total of about 2 hours sleep. So the first morning of the hunt, I told the guys I needed to lay in my sleeping bag for a...

    My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

    After shuttling us and our gear to a remote strip in the larger plane, we went the rest of the way via Super Cubs. We would be hunting a spot that was new to me, nestled between ridges at about 3800 feet. After the cubs dropped off the three of us and our gear, we set up camp, had a late lunch...

    My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

    At the end of August, I flew to Alaska for one last remote caribou hunt; remote AK hunts have been a huge part of my life for the past 21 years. I would be hunting with my closest friend, who has hunted remote Alaska with me 4 times before; on this hunt we also brought his son, who is 18 and...

    Brooks Range Caribou 2023

    Excellent description of a great adventure, complete with the requisite Alaska weather delays. You guys handled the bumps well and looks like you had a great time!

    Salton Sea to Arctic Ocean

    Have a safe and awesome trip! My GF was a lifelong resident of the Inland Empire (Upland/Rancho Cucamonga) before I rescued her and moved her to Tennessee.

    All honest criticism welcome - shooting

    Lots of good info already...one thing I haven't seen posted yet (or perhaps I missed it) is check the weight of the trigger pull. Due to liability issues, lots of factory rifles come with triggers that don't break until 6 or 7 pounds of pull - it's hard for me to shoot well with that hard of a...
