Due to some strange circumstances, the group of us that go to AK every year have found ourselves with one open slot.
We have 7 going, with room for one more...no big deal if we don't find someone else to fill the last spot but thought I'd throw it out there.
Trip will be 1 day of travel there...
Need to keep the stories coming, if you have them post them up. I've been compiling a bunch. If its anything else, put a cork in it.

We need your help again. In less than 24 hours after sending out the alert about Senate File 118 - the Legislature's attempt to privatize wildlife for private profit - nearly 500 BHA members took action to tell the Senate Travel, Recreation, and Wildlife Committee to oppose this bill.
Thank you...

Went out this morning to look around for a couple cows and found about 6-7 hundred right at daylight. Planned a 2.5 mile stalk, worked out really well. It's always a pain to get on those big herds, but lucked out and caught the tail end of the herd (about 75). Picked out a cow and shot, heard...
I hate long posts but in this case I think its worth it to tell a couple stories within the story about my Montana sheep tag.
For starters, I've applied since I was a little kid in Montana, 43 years to be exact before I found out I drew my tag. It's funny how what you believe will happen on a...
Well, round 1 is over for elk in Wyoming. Hunted with 4 of my friends and even with the hot dry weather, we did OK going 5/5 with 2 bulls and 3 cows. Saw elk everyday, saw bulls everyday, and we all passed bulls early in the hunt.
About day 6 or 7, I caught this bull feeding in a small opening...
My Dad, at age 79 decided to burn his points for his 3rd Montana Shiras. He decided to apply for a cow tag, which at age 79 is probably a good idea, as buying green bananas can be risky.
We set up the wall tent near Wisdom, had a nice comfortable camp.
My brother came down Monday night to join...
Short season, but productive.
A friend drew a great tag and we spent a few days prior to the season looking over some awesome country and wildlife.
Saw a lot of these guys:
Also saw some pretty fair pronghorn bucks, 3-4 that we figured were worthy of the tag my friend had.
The first choice...
Just got home yesterday from the annual AK trip. Was a good trip and we're already booked for 25 and 26, I'm not quitting until I'm dead. Then one final trip to leave part of my ashes there, one of my favorite places on planet earth.
Can't beat this sight:
One of the best days I've spent on...
Been acquiring components for a 32-40 that's been in our family for a long time. Found 200 rounds of brass for it, picked up some 165 grain Hornady flex tips and a pound of H4895.
Loaded 5 and tried them at the range yesterday. Used a cci 250 mag primer and 22 grains of H4895.
Gave them a...
Been meaning to put this out there, the TRW committee is proposing a couple real gems for bills regarding Wyoming.
Raising nonrefundable NR application fees from $15 to $75 dollars and Resident application fees from $5 to $20.
To make matters worse a good portion of those fees going to the...
Went out this evening for a couple hours to see how the ice is holding up. Still ok but the end is near. I've ice fished a fair bit this year.
Fished like a rookie tonight missed one, lost 4, snapped one off right at the hole, iced 3.
Better than not fishing though. Probably get out a time or...
