    Rinella article.. CUT AND PASTED

    While I agree with many of Matt’s sentiments and frustrations, I also wonder if that position is morally ambiguous. Aren’t there good things that come of sharing our adventures? Isn’t that what inspired many of us to seek hunting adventures in places we had never considered? It must be done the...

    With your excellent taste in Friday tunes, I have no doubt your choice of ortho surgeon will likewise serve you well. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Ken. 2022 will be a great hunting season!

    Do overs 2021 while hunting..

    Not getting just a little closer on my daughters first deer tag. She made a pretty good shot at 180 yards and we followed this blood trail a mile, but it was a little far back and he ran onto private where we couldn’t get permission. Her disappointment was harder than any disappointment I have...

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    I use them because my ears ring without ear protection when shooting a rifle with a break or without a break. I now use ear protection on every hunt and figure I might as well get some recoil reduction as an added benefit.

    Nanny Problems - Oh Yeah, I’ve Got Them (a goat hunt)

    That will look great. My buddy did the same mount and I think it’s a great look.

    Bucket list trip

    Yeah, in talking with the bush pilot who transports for several different outfitters he said that after the first two weeks of the season he had only seen two rams killed out of about 20 hunters.

    Bucket list trip

    The only takeaway is to go as soon and often as possible. It was an incredible adventure. I will be back soon with a tag of my own.

    Bucket list trip

    It was my time to head home if I wanted to stay employed. Was able to see Denali from in the plane on the way back to Anchorage. My dad kept going for another 10 days. They found a spectacular ram (guide estimated him over 40 inches) but he was just inside a preserve not open to nonresidents...

    Bucket list trip

    After failing to find a legal ram in three different areas we decided to shift gears and get some momentum. We changed locations again to target moose, bear, and caribou. We had as much success chasing them as failure chasing sheep! Within a week my dad had successfully taken all three.

    Bucket list trip

    We went after sheep for 14 days straight. That was the priority with other species to follow. We found lots of them but just could not turn up a legal ram. I know @Bambistew was seeing the same thing and it was the report we were getting from everyone you talk to. That helps to understand the...

    Bucket list trip

    Couple observations I made right from the start: (1) large boulder scree fields suck in every way possible. (2) quality gear is so essential. We were very pleased with our gear. Beyond a higher end sleeping bag to lower weight, I have no gear changes for next year. (3) like any intense hunt it...
