A fun project bow I did.
As a lifelong hunter, previous Alaska professional hunter and all around archery geek I wanted to share a project I worked on. Ask any western or mountain hunter the importance of saving weight when everything you pack in is on your back. We spend thousands of dollars...
So here's the situation. My little bro in law never hunted anything but drew a sheep tag here in Alaska. The tag is for any ram. Problem is he doesn't have much time to hunt cause of work but we are still going to make the best of it. I am actually going in 3 days early before him to scout. As a...
Well last night here in wasilla alaska I heard and seen something that we don't see too often. Some pretty radical lightning strikes and thunder. I know our interior friends get quite a bit more and I am sure you lower 48's have to deal with it more them most. I was trying to think back about my...
Ran across a big Agnes boot jack +24 down sleeping bag yesterday. Can't recall seeing any info floating around on it. Anyone have experience with it. Looks pretty darn nice for the price
Luke where the heck did your bear thread go. Meant to post when I got time but can't find it. Anyway seen you got snow. I was wondering cause right after I read you were leaving I started to see some snow on lazy mountain. I guess it just a reminder of where we live. Sounds like the two of you...
For those that don't know there is an incredibly dangerous fire burning out of control on the Kenai peninsula. The fire has take a turn towards a lot of residences. Having lived on the Kenai for a long time I feel ill for my fellow Alaskans. If you are of the praying kind please keep those folks...
Assuming you are hunting in an area that the population is healthy, what are your thoughts on taking a nanny. I get a lot of mixed reviews here in Alaska so I'm interested in all different perspectives. Personally I have taken a nanny and I am as proud of it as any other animal I've taken and...
Might not be for everyone but personally for a while now I've been using my target bows for hunting. I was sure stoked to open the box I got in the mail and this is what was inside. I'll be using it for 3d and hunting this year.
so I never really believed in safe queens so since I will be doing some close to home brown bear hunting this year I decided it would be a great chance to get on of my favorites out for a walk in the woods...
So to be honest it was not until recently I even heard of a ladder test. I am a reloader and the way I develop loads was simply to load several different charges and group shoot but that can get frustrating. I do think I have the concept of a ladder test down but do you all think its best to...
So no permits for me in the Alaska sheep draw so back to guiding for me. It will be the least paying job I ever took but will be one of the most rewarding..
Last year my little brother in law( he's 21 so not that little;)) approached me and expressed an interest in hunting. I of course agreed...
Well we sit on the eve of the eve of one of the biggest days for hunters in Alaska as well as some non residents in the draw so I wanted to wish my fellow Alaskans the best of luck in the draw and provided you don't draw any of my permits I will be very happy for you...heheh
Good luck

So for all you guys with the ultimate lightweight mountain guns.. Where do you start.. Like my dad always tells me I have champagne tastes on a beer budget so running out and buying a 5k gun is out of the question(at least in one lump sum).. Soo is there a starting point... Where did you all...
So lots of new stuff on the market today geared towards light weight. Here's the scenario you are packing for a 10 day sheep hunt in alaska and you have zero gear and have to buy new everything.. What is your ultimate gear list based on weight and comfort. Temps can range from 20 ish to 80ish...
I hunted quite a bit for the thinhorns of Alaska but gotta say recently I have really been wanting to get a chance to hunt in the lower 48 for bighorns. I will be a non resident of course.. What I am looking for some advice on where to start. I know it could take years so at 43 I want to start...
