    2021 moose trip complete

    ***Soapbox alert… IMHO, the mentality to not publicly discuss a bad guide experience is doing a disservice to the good ones. It also gives these bad guides a sense of security, as they believe there is an attitude that folks will not discuss how much they suck on forums, and if they do, others...

    That’s a story I want to hear!

    2021 Aaska Moose 16B Hunters

    I hunt 16B on and off. Last year the moose were hit pretty hard by the winter. The moose numbers were pretty low according to everyone I talked to. Haven’t heard much about this year yet, but I did help a guy fly one out from the north end on the 1st. 16B is pretty big and covers all types of...

    Hawk mountain air Anchorage

    Yes, but I had an “any bull” tag so it was really just a meat run.

    Unit 20e Alaska

    Sorry, haven’t visited the site in a while. 19 as a whole didn’t have the winter issues the other side of the AK range had, and I haven’t heard a bad thing about it. It’ll be a much more expensive hunt, but you’ll have better success there for sure.

    Hawk mountain air Anchorage

    Unit 20e Alaska

    Before you decide on 16B, do some research on what last winter did to the moose population.

    Sitka took a stand

    Not agreeing with drilling more oil, or not drilling in the designated area of ANWR and finding other alternatives, and other similar arguments are one thing. I could get behind or at least like to explore debate those topics. There is a lot more to this subject than some simple ideas or pretty...

    Sitka took a stand

    As a (ex)die-hard Sitka fan their uneducated stance on this pisses me off. Maybe you could argue we don’t need more oil and that we should find other sources of energy (which I may agree on), but this message they put out is pure propaganda. False pictures, inflated facts, and tug on the...

    Base layer recommendations

    Don’t overthink this. Just go to REI or whatever other outdoor activity store is around you and get some synthetic shirts and long underwear. With that said. I LOVE my Sitka Core lightweight and heavyweight hoodys. The hoods fit perfect, and the lightweight is very light and has a mask built...

    Return from Fairbanks and airport questions

    Stay an extra day for sure, I’d leave as late as I could if it was me. Lots to see and do if you have free time. Uber is easy, and the airport is very close to town.

    not hunt related; noise cancelling headphones.

    I’ll never have anything other than noise cancelling (or ANR) again. My AirPod Pros make the gym seem like I’m the only one in there sound-wise, whether I’m on the treadmill, stairclimber, or lifting. I was on an elliptical a while back that was making a loud sqeaking noise, but I had no idea...

    Teaching a cross dominant shooter.

    I’m right handed and left eyed and have never noticed till I was probably 30. Everything is done right handed. I’ve always been an excellent shooter in both military and competitions. Not once did I notice I aim rifles with my right eye and pistols with my left, even though my right hand is on...

    The new kuiu

    I like it. Looks great for Alaska woods and open swampy areas. I have always thought the “MultiCam” colors worked perfect here with the alders and bushes. Not a lot of vibrant green, so the lighter browns, tans, and dull greens match very well. This looks like it borrows from the same color...
