Alaska float or flight hunt? Moose / Caribou.
Logistics of a drop off hunt for caribou are a bit easier than a float. My 2 cents. Focus on one or the other as a primary species, and then if you want carry a tag in your pocket for the other species. Moose can be a tricky animal to hunt, but if you get dropped of at a base camp in front of...- Frenchy

Steady Flushing dog tips?
Do you have any experience with an e-collar? In any event, getting a sit to flush is all about obedience. Start with the pup at your side like in AlaskaHunter's video. If he won't sit while at your side, he's not going to sit 15 yards in front of you with a wild bird flushing off his nose...- Frenchy

Steady Flushing dog tips?
Looks an awful lot like the Chena Flood Control Project Grounds. I spent many evenings training my Golden in that exact same spot. Nice Looking dog by the way.- Frenchy

Helly Hanson
HH Impertech. I've had mine for 10+ years. Its got some wear and tear from abuse, but its still the best set of rain gear I own. I purchased mine while living in AK, and it was perfect for use up there.- Frenchy

Quad vs Dual Sport Bike
On dry ground the Motorcycle is a pretty good option. Probably better than the quad, but as soon as things get wet and slippery the quad is the only way to go. Well for motorized travel that is.- Frenchy

Brother in Alaska
We did a Combo Caribou and Brown Bear Hunt in the Mulchutna herd. That was a cool trip! We also did the Kodiak Island Goat hunt which again was a pretty cool trip. If on Kodiak, pick up a deer tag as well, and bring a fishing rod. We shot 2 goats, couple of silvers, and a small halibut...- Frenchy

Public Land arsonists get pardons
Nope. I can honestly say I did not vote for Hillary...nor did I vote for trump. And I did vote. But "most honest president of my lifetime"...... WOW! I understand sticking by your guy, especially when the alternative was Hillary but that is just an asinine statement.- Frenchy

Recommendations for Training a Bird Dog
Sending the pup away for training is not a bad option, but I think a better option is to join the local gun dog group and attend every training day you can. Then watch everybody. Its fun watching the dogs work, but it better to watch the handler (the good ones anyway). There are so many...- Frenchy

Montana 680-30 Ewe tag
How are you with a canoe? Floating along that stretch of river would open up the same amount of country as a jet boat. Not quite as efficiently granted, but just a thought as access to a canoe would be a hell of a lot easier to come by than a jet boat. I've got one of each, and I'd gladly...- Frenchy

Bloat/GDV in Dogs
My first Golden Retriever had this as an 8yo. I noticed the same things, dry heaving, paniky, trying to poop but nothing coming out. I went and looked at him and noticed his belly was very tight. I immediately knew what it was and we too were off to the emergency vet for surgery. I got (3)...- Frenchy

Trail Cam Advice
Best camera I've run to date has been the old Primos Truth 35 cams. The BIG ones. I have a smaller version of the same camera, and it is the worst camera I have run to date. I tend to not go fancy with cameras, and opt for quantity over quality. But I guess that would depend on how you plan...- Frenchy

DIY Caribou Hunting Video
I always had something to chase, so there was no shortage of stocks. But I was using an old ass bow that I wasn't comfortable shooting past about 45 yards. So it was a chore. The last year I hunted it we took a jet boat ride up the Sag to try and get past the 5-mile corridor and rifle hunt...- Frenchy

DIY Caribou Hunting Video
I lived in Fairbanks, North Pole actually, for five years. I used to love my marathon weekend hunts up the haul road. Took some really good footage one year, but left the camcorder tape with all the best footage laying in the tundra after i had to swap tapes while filming a good bull. I will...- Frenchy

Mystery ranch Metcalf: worth the cash?
We did just that a month or so ago. Stopped at stone glacier and tried on the two frames, and looked at the bags. Then went over to MR and were told that all Hunting packs were sold and Schnee's and we would have to go down there to try them out. I was a little disappointed at that, I'd...
