    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    Steve, I really think that you have a great idea here. I as a potential client often think about all of the things that are out of the clients and guides hands. Let’s say weather for one. If I paid you $30,000 and we have terrible weather for most of the trip and don’t have a opportunity. That’s...

    270 ackley improved

    There is a member on here named Doublebroomed Mountain Rifles. He builds rifles and guides in Alaska. I know he builds them and I believe he calls it the 27 O’Connor after the famous gun writer. His is a 280AI necked down to 270. I’ve never talked to him personally but listen to him when he’s on...

    Interested as well. I’m only looking at the Thorofare. I’ve read everything on here that I can find. Just wondering what everyone thinks after this season.

    More support than leather

    You might look at Kenetrek. They have the Guide Ultra or the Everstep Orthopedic. Those are both available in non-insulated or 400 gram. These have some kind of extra bracing in them. I’ve never tried them personally as the mountain guides are more than enough support for me. Good luck with your...

    Fires affecting your hunt?

    I’m in the same boat. Used 9 pts and have an X-2 tag here in California. Made 3 scouting trips at 5 hours each way. The part I don’t get is Modoc isn’t even on fire, and no more in danger than it was the last two months I’ve been up there. The worst part is I have enough points to draw my areas...

    New Crispi Wyoming wider?

    I have the older version of the Wyoming in a 14. I tried the Colorado and really wanted to make them work, but they weren’t wide enough. The guys at Black Ovis suggested the Wyoming because of the slightly larger toe box. The Wyoming fit fine. I run 14 medium in Kenetrek. I would say the Wyoming...

    Truck Downsizing Question

    I went the other way from a Tacoma to an F-150. I’m also 6’7” tall, so I was tired of stuffing myself in it. The truck was good, but I just couldn’t get all of 2 guys stuff in it and drive from California to Colorado or Idaho with coolers and camp in the back. I tried to buy a good used 2016...

    Stone Glacier Chilkoot Vs Kuiu Super Down Sleeping Bag Vs Western Mountaineering Badger??

    I just got back from my first trip out with a WM Badger GWS that I purchased off of the classifieds on here. It got down to the low 20’s. Extremely pleased with it. I think I could go down to 15 no problem. I couldn’t believe when I saw it for sale for $450 within 5 min of the guy posting it...

    How do you travel on airlines with your large backpack?

    I would add that I would definitely use a suitcase or a heavy duty duffel bag. I use the Kuiu water proof one. I also stuff my food and other clothing items around my pack in the duffel to protect it somewhat.

    How do you travel on airlines with your large backpack?

    As posted above, Put your pack in a large duffel bag to keep people out of your stuff. It also keeps it from getting caught and broken on conveyors or god knows what else they do. Binoculars and spotter in carry on with a change of clothing that you can hunt in if your baggage gets lost. I also...
