You're not kidding @VernAK. I just read many of the proposals for the Western, Interior & Eastern Arctic regions. Things are looking pretty grim up here. Here's the link to the proposals for individuals wishing to get a sense of the atmosphere here in Alaska right now. I definitely wouldn't be...
My wife and I have often discussed the impact ski areas have on real estate and social environments. As a result when looking at future real estate or places to move to we are looking at areas that do NOT have ski areas anywhere nearby!

If I had drawn that tag, I would contact a couple of air...
I think you should do it. A few years back my friend and I decided that we wanted to do something fun after we returned from our deployment to the sand box. We tossed around a few ideas and ultimately decided Rainier would be a good fit in terms of something we could do with limited...
If you define a "trophy" hunt by the inches you hang on your wall, and you already know you'll get more inches south of the border then I think you already answered your own question.
Hunting hard in the exquisite beauty of the Canadian Rockies even if coming home with no horns sounds like a...
I use Black Diamond crampons on all my goat hunts. I couldn't imagine doing a hunt (especially a November hunt) without them. They really are a safety device, and like a headlamp if you need it, then you REALLY need it.
