    2:1 Goat Hunt and DIY Deer

    Hi folks. My buddy and I are looking for an outfitter in SE AK who will do a 2:1 Goat Hunt as NRs and possibly a DIY deer hunt just before or after in 2026 or 2027. We both have been lucky enough to hunt goats before and are looking for a fun experience, not necessarily a B&C goat. Any...

    Flying meat home

    Flying elk meat back is nearly as much an adventure as the hunt itself, particularly if you are by yourself. Delta charges checked bags (50lbs) of $30 for first bag, $40, $150 and $200 for each after that...I check 150 lbs of meat...I then have put about 35 lbs of frozen meat in a dry bag in...

    Flying AA with Elk Antlers

    Another option is to wrap and ship back UPS with clothes. I measure/record tips to tips and cut skull in half. Also, it probably depends on how much meat you are flying back. I normally check 3x50 lb bags of meat + gun and carry the rest in my pack and dry sack onto plane. Have fun!

    Your sons first harvest

    I am sorry for your loss. We nearly lost our youngest due to sudden cardiac arrest in March. She was saved by a good friend using CPR and with a shock from an AED. We are fortunate she has fully recovered. With both my girls, we hunted deer locally without success. I always wanted to take them...

    Fly or drive?

    And, I should also add regarding my experiences with 2 return trips...UPS misplaced my gear but I received all of it about 3 weeks later....and last October, 150 lbs of meat and my rifle did not make the connecting flight and I had to wait 3 hours at my final destination before it showed up... :)

    Fly or drive?

    And, as previously mentioned, if you tag out late in your hunt, there is the challenge of getting it to the butcher in time to have it cut, wrapped and frozen for your return flight.

    Fly or drive?

    Hi. I would drive if you have the time: keep your gear, meat and antlers together and with you. That said, with work, I don't have the time to drive from NY and have now flown to several hunts. Coming home the last 2 trips elk hunting in MT/WY, I have shipped clothes and antlers back UPS...

    Scouting services ??

    Joe at Headin West (AKA Indian Summer) helped me choose an outfitter in 2017 and helped me with a solo trip last season. Two for two so far. :) Coming from NY, it was definitely worth it. I would highly recommend you speak with him! Take care. Mike

    booking ferry to newfoundland

    Hi. Having done it once, I personally won't rent a cabin again...I am a light sleeper anyway...the chairs and floor in the main areas are big enough to spread out and sleep in for me. If I recall correctly, 2 of the 4 ferries were down on my return trip. People were disrupted for a couple of...

    What rife caliber for a 10 yr girl for elk

    Hi. Not sure if mentioned but 7mm-08 has reduced recoil ammo as well to practice or hunt with. That is what I did with my daughter...practiced with reduced recoil and hunted with regular ammo.
