    Get Everyone Excited

    Here is the ram I got last year. He was 15 years old. Definitely on his last year. The few lower teeth that he had you could take your fingers and wiggle them. He was at 400 yards and I took him on the 3rd day of the hunt. We saw him the first night and then he disappeared for two days. We...

    AK Draw Results

    I don't want to be the guy that everyone hates but I am. I drew my third Alaska sheep tag in a row. I drew Tok on '15, last year a 4 tag area that held a big old monarch that I was able to take and then this year I have Carpenter Creek DS195. My wife drew a caribou tag also! I am very excited...

    36' light weight tripod

    I'm looking for a shorter, lighter tripod. Everything I see goes up to 48", 52" or 60". I want something to use strictly while sitting on the ground. Does anybody know of anything? I currently use the vortex summit ss. It's ok but I want lighter and shorter. The only reason I want it shorter is...

    AK Draw Results

    It sounds like I had the same idea as some other people. My wife and I both put all six in a not so popular area and the second season in that area. I don't' want to make anyone upset but I did draw TMA two years ago and then this last year drew a different area. Two years in a row was crazy so...

    Organizing Your Pack

    I don't understand why people put all of their items inside of separate bags then put all the bags inside their pack. They have their clothing in a bag, separate Ziplock for each days food, first aid kit in a bag, sleeping bag in a bag, ect. everything seems to need its own bag. My food all goes...

    Flip flops in Backcountry

    I have not taken any extra footwear on any hunts so far. I do plan on starting though. I think I am going to bring my crocs from now on. I was on a fly in hunt and spent three days in my boots around camp that would have been nice to have some loose fitting shoes.

    Best non custom mountain rifle

    I carry Sako 85 Finnlight in 270 WSM for sheep and caribou. My wife has a Kimber Montana in 280 AI. Her's is lighter and only 1.5 oz heavier than a Kimber Mt Ascent and $600 cheaper plus she had the stock painted to her liking.

    Alaska Float trip wader suggestions.

    I did a float trip for caribou last year and here it what I found. I would get wader that roll down to waist level. I have just the wader pants and I don't like the. I would do the research and find a pair that roll down and also cover your chest when needed. I don't care about the brand name on...

    Wannabe Sheep Hunter

    It's a mental game. Can you keep getting up morning after morning for 10 days hurting, sore, tired and just plain worn out. It's the worst fun you will ever have. Keeping a positive mind set and having a hunting partner that is a positive person can change an entire trip.

    Tok Air Service

    I have not used Tok Air Service but I did call him last year for prices in a fly in sheep hunt. He was considerably more expensive then near by flight services. There is the saying that "you get what you pay for" so maybe he provides better service. I don't know because I haven't used him I am...

I have had the chance to take 4 moose, 6 caribou, 2 black bears, 2 interior grizzly's and 2 dall rams. I grew up in Minnesota whitetail, duck, goose, turkey, and lots of pheasant hunting...
