    Stupidest Mistake Hunting

    I think you're being a bit hard on yourself, to me that sounds like an honest error as opposed to a boneheaded move. Thanks for sharing the story.

    Alaska hiking options

    Hope you get plenty of input here, but from my perspective - The Brooks Range is far north in Alaska, a few hours' drive north of Fairbanks depending on how far up the go on the Dalton Highway. Only one road up there, and not many towns along the route, and the towns are quite small (hard to...

    Deer Rifle help

    I may not have been clear - didn't forget anything at home, ammo and gear got separated form me and rifle in the process of flying from east coast to Alaska. I would take my chance finding .30-06 ammo in Kotzebue and King Salmon, over 6.5... :)

    Deer Rifle help

    If this is your do-it-all rifle, 30-06 would be my choice over 6.5 CM, mostly for one reason - if you were anywhere in the United States on a hunting trip (including remote Alaska), it will likely be much easier to find .30-06 ammo than 6.5 CM. Heck, I got separated from most of my ammo in...

    How Heavy is Your 13 day Sheep Pack

    It is normal - you're close to doing something that you've never done, and as the day gets closer you are consumed by questions, and every one that you can't answer, adds to the nervousness. That just shows you're human, and you care about the trip. So take a deep breath, tell yourself that...

    Operation Condor

    Great job Dad and Christian! You both really put in the work and logged the miles, great that it paid off and that he enjoyed the full experience so much. And, good on your wife for coming up with the idea!

    Skunked in Colorado

    Prayers up that your Mom gets better fast. Glad you guys saw some animals even if you had to cut the hunt short. I was on a remote flyout caribou hunt in Alaska years ago, and was unable to reach my girlfriend (who has epilepsy) or the person who was staying with her. Stressed myself out...

    Loving it to death

    I posted about this on the other thread, I believe it will be something that needs to be addressed as time passes... The Forest Service manages a government contract that aims to expose all of our pubic natural resources (parks, camping areas, trails, cabins, etc. etc.) to a broader portion of...

    Alaska for the paranoid

    Back in 2002, hunted the Mulchatna caribou herd as it was starting to decline. We flew into Dillingham and then took a floatplane from there and landed up on the Nushagak River. When we flew back Dillingham a couple of days early, we were stuck for 2 days trying to get a flight back to...

    Western Barren Ground Caribou, Alaska

    Great job getting it done with bows guys! I hunted the Yukon Charley area with an old high school baseball teammate last Fall, had a blast and got 2 nice caribou also, but we did with rifles. Beautiful country, great bulls, great photos, and memories to last a lifetime! Way to persevere when...

    The Question That None Of Greater Yellowstone's Conservation Groups Are Willing To Confront

    I wonder how the funding for conservation programs compares to the SNAP Program funding, which I believe(?) is also funded through the USDA...
