    Bradley Lake - AK Goat and Black Bear

    Yeah, I have decided against the road anyway. We are going 1st week of September, when are you thinking about going?

    Bradley Lake - AK Goat and Black Bear

    I live in Anchor Point, just up the road from Homer and drew this hunt for this year. I thought about the ATV route on the road as well. Did you explore this any further. DM me if you want.

    Caribou/Moose Float trip ideas

    I guess they got a lot of flack about the shots from others too. They went over the shots in a podcast. I didn't think the passing of the gun was a big deal, that Caribou was smoked. The first time I saw the first shot on the moose, I thought it was questionable. They explained it in a way I...

    Caribou/Moose Float trip ideas

    I did watch those films and yes they made it look easy. I have had some hunts like that (not float gunts), that just came together. Most don't! To the OP, search YouTube for Gritty and check out their series for moose and Caribou in AK. They don't give up their location but lots of good how to...

    Pipe Dream?

    Thanks for turning me on to Carlile! I called them today and Kenai has a terminal. Its $23 including the hazmat. Talked to a guy there who was very sympathetic to our cause and very helpful. We usually make it up there at least once a month. I will check out the other bullets you mentioned as well.

    Pipe Dream?

    I was in Anchorage last weekend but didn't make it anywhere but Cabelas. Will be in Anchorage again in February so I'll hit all the shops up there then. I'll look into Carlisle Connect. Our local outfit fills the niche but he wants $180 per shipment to the consolidator in Fife, WA. So if I buy...

    Good idea! Just need it by mid summer.

    Pipe Dream?

    The H/IMR 4350 and H/IMR 4831, and RL17 and RL19 seems to be what everyone defaults to. No the trick is to find someone who has primers and powder so I only have to pay one hazmat fee on the barge!

    Pipe Dream?

    I live in AK and even though it looks like some reloading supplies are breaking free in the lower 48, I doubt it will make its way up here before next hunting season. I finally saw 2 boxes of 200 gr Swift A-frame 338 win mag ammo today on the shelf for $158/box (first 338WM ammo I have seen in...

    CO OTC Elk 2023 Questions

    I just skimmed through most of this, so maybe it was mentioned already. I think time is your biggest asset when it comes to archery hunting public land. I guided hunts for 20+ years and to kill an elk on public land with a bow, you have to do everything right, 100% of the time and get lucky...

    Inflatable Power Options

    Those are nice inflatables.

    Inflatable Power Options

    Yes, catastrophic failure is not on the game plan. The CMS raft I was looking at needs to be under 140lbs for whatever is hanging off the transom. 25hp 4 stroke jet mentioned earlier weight was 130ish so in the ballpark it sounds like.

    Inflatable Power Options

    Yes that green zinc smoke is nasty.

    Inflatable Power Options

    I totally see what you did there tying your transom to the oar frame. Good idea! Your rig looks pretty sweet! Thanks for the picture. I like it.

    Inflatable Power Options

    Yes, making the set up as rigid as possible without adding a bunch of weight is good advice!
