Hard to wander in the thick brush along the rivers. Maybe ease along the river looking for sign, and still hunt slow in areas where there seem to be sign. Moose can move really quietly when they want to, take your time and watch and listen. August seems a little early for calling.

FEDERAL PREMIUM – 250 grain Nosler Partition – 20 rounds - $60...
It's assorted brass from the factory ammo that I listed for sale; 20 rounds are from custom handloads from Pendleton that I had loaded for my rifle.

I hunted caribou in the 40 Mile country many times, last Fall's hunt was my last remote AK hunt. All of those stories are posted in the Caribou subforum, if you search you can find them and get a good idea of the general terrain you will be hunting.
I have a fair amount of .338 Winchester Magnum ammo that I don’t need anymore, as I did my last remote Alaska hunt last Fall. Willing to sell it for the price listed below; the buyer would also assume the shipping cost for UPS Ground shipment within the contiguous 48 states.
The various ammo...
Thanks! For many years I had a small storage unit in Anchorage, did 12-15 remote hunts from 2002 - 2023. Fall of 2023 was my last one, so I sold all of the gear I had stored. Hope it serves its new owners as well as it served me!
What type of .338 are you looking for? I've got a few hundred rounds of different types (Swift A Frame, Nosler Partition, other various types). Might be able to ship some to you if you are interested.
We had a 300k construction loan a couple of years ago. The way ours worked, we only paid interest on the money we used, when we used it. If we didnt use all 300k, no interest paid on the unused amount.
Wow - I don't know how this never came up, but I just got the notification for it today! So sorry I didn't see it before - were you able to plan and do your AK hunting trip?

Born in Alaska, Dad a lifelong outdoorsman and Mom a full blooded Inupiat Eskimo. Alaska was a big unsettled wilderness in the...
This year we flew in on August 30 and flew back to Tok on Sep 6 I think. All of my caribou hunts in that area were end of August fly-ins, hunt for 6 days or so, return to Tok around Sep 6 or 7.
To add to my earlier comments on wood, and to follow up on what Bambistew said - we never brought a...
