    WTS .338 Winchester Magnum Ammo for Sale

    AK Moose 2024

    I always carried my .44, but seems quite a few guys carry the 10mm these days. A couple have mentioned that they had to tweak their 10mm in order to handle the 220 BB's smoothly (I think it was a stronger mag spring and perhaps tweaking the ejector as well, I can't recall exactly).

    AK Moose 2024

    I vaguely knew a couple of guys who hunted the 40 Mile country with longbows, and they have been pretty successful over the years. Best of luck to you, that's a challenging way to hunt for sure. I carried a S&W Model 629 in .44 Mag on my Alaska hunts, in a chest holster, loaded with Buffalo...

    What do yall do for side income?

    There is definitely a market for this. I have seen threads on hunting forums pages long, where guys have discussed how bad they are at sharpening their hunting knives. I consider myself pretty intelligent, yet I manage to be a pretty poor knife sharpener no matter what brand of sharpener I try.

    How to do a DIY Alaska Caribou hunt?

    You are correct that there are a lot of logistics involved in hunting so far from home, in an area you are not familiar with. For an AK DIY caribou hunt, the biggest pieces of the puzzle (given that you have a hunt partner identified it seems) are: - Deciding on the type of hunt (road hunt off...

    Best Alaska Moose Outfitter?

    I agree with you on the importance of due diligence. As for what I have learned - having done unguided remote AK hunts since 2010, I feel like any recommendationa on guided hunts I have might be a bit dated. I would probably check the harvest records to see what units are currently producing the...

    Best Alaska Moose Outfitter?

    REspectfully, it would be difficult to trust someone else's research as opposed to personal and recent experience. Some of these outfits have been operating for many decades, and can have down cycles that are not accurately depicted in the success rates on their websites. I hunted many years...

    Best Alaska Moose Outfitter?

    As long as you're calling guys out for not being helpful - have you personally hunted within the last decade with all of the outfits you listed? If not, what is the basis for recommending them?

    WTS .338 Winchester Magnum Ammo for Sale

    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...

    Best moose meat hauling frame pack?

    My Barney's pack could have handled 2.5 times as much weight as I was physically able to carry, it's a great pack for heavy loads. That said, back in the day I did pack a moose and a few caribou out with my old Camp Trails Moose Pack II, worked fine as well.
