I had the Glock 20 but honestly couldnt hit anything with it. And I lost the tip of my index finger on my right hand so the trigger just didn't work right for me. I went to a Rock Island double stack 1911 in 10mm. Its a larger grip, but I can hit something with it, it holds 16 rounds and was...
When I moved into my new place, it had cathedral ceilings and I have about 25 shoulder mounts to hang. Ive also had 4 back surgeries and 1 neck surgery. My brother and I rented scaffolding. We had enough for two levels, one about 5 feet high and the other 10 like a giant set of stairs. We put...
I hunted 17 in 17 and am going back in September. We hunted the last 10 days of the season and it was very warm that year. We did use headnets quite a bit. I know when I was fishing, the bugs were pretty bad. I have some Caddis breathable waders that are very quiet. You have to wear boots...
I won't get into the debate or whether to salt or not. But I do take salt in with me 50lbs for two hunters. I do lake drop hunts out of a Beaver so its doable. It would be different if we were doing long raft trips.
I will say, as a taxidermist, unless you know how to properly flesh and...
Look me up on Facebook, In Nature's Image Taxidermy in Palmer. Ive been doing taxidermy professionally since 1996. State and international award winner. Good luck on your hunt.
Ive hunted POW three times for bears and once for deer. I wouldn't ship a frozen hide. As menitioned, Rosey in Thorne Bay can take care of you. I own a taxidermy business north of anchorage and had him flesh and salt my bear as it was easier than trying to fly out with it, my gear and the...
My brother used a fly rod and I used a spinning rod with a black rooster tail. I literally caught 10 greyling for every one he caught. That little spinner was magic.
Ive met Mike up here and his service is good. So is Pristine Ventures/Larry Bartlett. You could also contact one of the flight services ie Papa Bear out of Bethel and they can put together a package for you. Im fortunate enough to live in Alaska, so haven't needed a service, but have flown...
okay, I would ditch the raft and get a good roll up sled. These pull fairly easy and save your backs. I would still take a frame pack for water crossings to keep the meat dry if possible. Go slow, its not a race.
Ive taken rafts on my two of my last three trips. I should say OUR trips because my brother is the logistician, I just paddle when he tells me. The first trip we NEEDED a raft because we were getting dropped off HERE and had to float to THERE. The raft was similar to PR49 but from a different...
My brother shot one small bull with his longbow. We ended up leaving early due to the hot weather and threat of losing the meat. I think had we stayed we could have gotten our second moose. I had one I was chasing for two days and finally figured him out but we had to leave.

Like new, hardly ever worn Beavertail Vest in XL. Bought this and never used it, I think I may have sat in it once or twice. I didn't like the high collar as it interfered with my bow string so I took it to a tailor and had it altered. This is incredibly warm, but I am moving in a synthetic...
