    You might rethink booking with Mark Romo out of Dillingham

    Nothing but good experiences with Mark. I don't know any details, so I'll also withhold judgement.

    270 win 130gr GMX for Moose

    A .270 will work if the bullet hits where you need it. Use what you want, but I have experience with moose and if I were going that far, I'd use a bigger rifle and bullet. I've seen a 300wm 180ish grain bullet get stopped in the shoulder bone of the moose at about 160 yards. If it wasn't for...

    Do you gut birds in the field?

    I don't. Never had a problem. When it comes to ducks, I especially don't gut them because I age them whole for 7-10 days. If you gut them, you ask for more bacteria to be introduced. The meat is totally different and most any gamey taste is gone.

    What to do with all that Goose in your freezer

    My true hunting passion waterfowl... some years LOTS of geese come home. I've done about everything you can with them. My easiest go-to recipe treats them like beef, not birds. Split the breasts the thin way so you end up two breast size filets out of each side of the breast (4 total per...

    Company swag

    I went to sporting clays shoot hosted by a large contractor several years ago... They had regular cardboard shotshell boxes that were printed with their logo and full of federal shells.... Each person got 4 boxes to shoot and they gave away a lot of boxes at the end to take with you if you...

    Storing food in Griz country

    I forgot to mention I was elk hunting but staying in some primitive cabins last year and definitely not on a backcountry hunt. A bear came into "camp" and it opened a yeti cooler and enjoyed a WHOLE case (brand new) of twisted tea. Pulled every can out and drank them all. It was funny. 24...

    Storing food in Griz country

    In the tent with me. I don't even plan for bears anymore. I don't worry about them at all. Bears in the backcountry might be curious but are more afraid of new smells. Never had an issue... I suppose if I do, I might change my mind later. I pee all around my camp and so far it does the trick...

    I've been snowed on and sweating in the same trip way up north... in the same 24 hour period in August and early September.

    Considering the 5 mile hike

    If you have never hiked across tundra a mile might sound like no big deal... Once you have, you'll understand why waking 5 miles after caribou isn't very practical. Wait at the right spots no matter how motivated and adventurous you are is my recommendation. By the time you spotted some miles...

    Cutting leg “in half” for bone-in pack out…????

    I don't know if tis legal, but I'd call the wildlife trooper office in your GMU and ask them. If its legal, I'd ask for it in writing. I have an experience in a bone-in unit that would keep me from splitting a quarter under any circumstances. A AK wildlife trooper landed at our camp...

    Distance to 'Get Away Cabin' or Property?

    Our cabin is 3 hours away. We are there 75% of the weekends of the year. Its far enough to be away, but close enough to go often. Spend a few weeks in the summer there and a few weeks in December too... actually most holidays. Years ago my kids chose the cabin over softball and baseball for...

    US Virgin Islands

    I'm there now. Been to all the USVI islands more times than I can count... Heading home in the morning. Snorkeling off most of the beaches on St. John was great but we boated to all our snorkeling spots and beaches this time. Only fished offshore. I would rent a vehicle for sure. Gives you a lot...

    Paint Tikka Stock

    I know it's an old thread, but I've done dozens of synthetic stocks and at least 20 tikkas. I always use self etching primer first and then the paint. I don't know how it would turn out if you didn't use it, but I charge for painted stocks so it's a little insurance for me. It holds up well with...

    WTS Benelli SBE II Left Handed

    I purchased a 12ga. Benelli SBE II last year that is left handed on an estate auction. When I purchased it I didn't realize it was left handed... My mistake. It is black with a 28" barrel. I was told that if it had been fired you couldn't tell it. After getting it, I'm not sure it has ever been...
