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

    I hear you, and agree that Rec.gov is a great resource that helps people figure out what public resources are available, what resources are already booked, and how to book the available resources. The sticky point is potentially that the agencies expressed a strong desire to increase the use of...

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

    "Monetizing the resource" is for real. The Recreation.gov website is a tool that provides information on public parks, trails, cabins, campsites, and many other public resources. The Department of Interior, Forest Service, US Army Corps of Engineers, and a couple of other agencies or...

    $20K enough?

    That's why I was a little worried about the $10k number I didn't know what others were charging for a DIY drop moose hunt. 40 Mile charges less than that (their prices for moose and caribou hunts are listed on their website) but they are TOUGH to get on with. Even as a returning customer, I...

    $20K enough?

    I would start reaching out to some potential air transporters/outfitters in mid October when their current hunting seasons are winding down. Might want to check with Golden Eagle Outfitters (Jared Cummings) out of Kotzebue, and Papa Bear Adventures or Renfro's Alaskan Adventures out of Bethel...

    Grip n Grin Alternatives

    Nothing wrong with a tasteful grip and grin, there s no appeasing those who choose to seek yet another way to be offended by the legal activities of others. My opinion is not to change your habits to appease them, as they are never satisfied and always want MORE than you may opt to do. The...

    $20K enough?

    It might be enough, but booking the best transporters or outfitters to fly you into good moose country is in big demand - hard to get booked with the best ones, unless you try to book 3-4 years into the future. Here are notional per person costs for a remote flyout moose hunt. For a...

    10 mile hike in then a float out?

    Be careful on your AK float...lots of rain this year, a lot of creeks and rivers are currently running high and fast.

    Be extra careful out there ... hunting season is approaching.

    Glad you're OK, good on your wife for the quick work, and thanks for the story and the reminder! Hope you can do some hunting this fall even with a bum leg.

    Man Appears to of Died After Bear Attack in Hope, AK

    If you haven't been to that part of Alaska - you can be 150% aware, walking down a trail with your firearm locked and loaded - and still not see or hear a bear until it hits you.

    Man Appears to of Died After Bear Attack in Hope, AK

    I'm not trying to be a smart ass, just want to stress something that I am pretty sure you agree with - both can be dangerous even if you ARE prepared and have taken every precaution and means of preparation that a person can take. Electric fences don't always work, but they're a good tool to...

    I don't reload and use factory ammo, but I have between 600 and 1,000 rounds through my Ruger Model 77 and still seems to shoot fine.

    Changing rifles because of excess recoil.

    Ben, that's the same PAST recoil pad that I have. It was always hot in MD in the summers, so it served 2 purposes - minimized any felt recoil on my part, and imitated the thickness of hunting clothes when I was actually shooting in a t shirt, to help with rifle fit and proper eye relief.

    Changing rifles because of excess recoil.

    Man, I can't imagine shooting a .338 off the T3 platform, I picked up a T3 once and the gun just seemed too flimsy to me. Have heard many good testimonials about the rifle, just didn't feel right in my hands. Consider a Ruger M77 Stainless Synthetic when you get another .338. Mine weighs 9.5...

    Scope Recommendations for .325 WSM

    Don't have a specific scope recommendation, looks like the other guys got that covered. One thing to check - make sure whatever scope you get offers plenty of eye relief (distance from your eye to the rear end of the scope). The .325 recoil might lead to some scope eye if there isn't...

    Looking for partner to go to Alaska with me

    Are you considering a guided griz/bou hunt AND a moose/bou drop hunt in the same calendar year? Not sure that the non-res season lengths will easily support that. You might be better to focus on ONE of those hunts for 2021, can always do the other hunt in a later year and have the benefit of...
