    NPS to Ban Bear Baiting, Predator Control on Alaska Preserves

    I'm pretty surprised this proposal hasn't gotten more spotlight time, as it appears to be yet another federal overreach on Alaska's resources. I understand the proposal only targets National Preserve land, but that's a sizeable chunk of accessible Alaska (WRST comes to mind). My first problem...

    Drew a Once in a Lifetime Tag? Here's Help.

    I drew DI 454 (Alaska Copper River Bison) and was able to have success, in no small part thanks to some PM traffic with former DI 454 tag holders. My idea is for this thread to become a repository for future unicorn tag holders to find some Roksliders who had that same tag themselves. I think...

    Scared of Down?

    I switched to a down sleeping bag two seasons ago (western mountaineering) and am never looking back. And don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing on people who love their synthetics as much as I love feathers, but how many people actually know (first hand) someone who has had a down sleeping bag...

    Your BHA Dollars at Work?

    I chose not to renew my BHA membership a few years ago. I feel like they do some good work, but dip their toes just a little too far into one side of the political spectrum for my liking. Regardless of your opinions, check out their selection (2021 academic year) for the BHA scholarship...

    Native Corporation Closes Access to Copper River Bison

    At the risk of sounding like the lottery winner bitching that his ticket got rained on, I wanted to draw attention to an issue that has larger implications than it may seem. I drew DI454 (Copper River Bison) for the 2021 season. I’m stoked, and was prepared to pay the $1,500 trespass fee in...

    New Duck Gun for 2021

    Looking to retire my well loved but tired Remington 1187 for next fall. It blows O-rings and the charging handle is so loose it fell out on a harlequin hunt out of Homer, AK this year. Any recommendations on a 800-1200 gun. Love the feel of Browning’s A-5 but it’s been so long since I’ve been in...

    Displaying Matching Shed Antlers

    Does anyone have a cool way that they display a matched set? Ideas for any species are welcome but I found this caribou bull at the bottom of a rock slide on a sheep hunt this week.

    40 Mile Resident Tags Increased to 2

    40 Mile Hotline confirms bag limit is any two caribou for Alaska residents, still one bull for non-residents. I wonder if this is the state feeling a lack of non-resident hunters making the trip this year?

    Cancelled Alaska Hunts 2020

    Alaska resident trying to get a sense of how many hunters aren’t making the trip this year. If it was a draw tag, has ADFG communicated any way to get that tag for you for next year?

    Are Box Stores Irrelevant?

    Does anyone still make more than 50% of their outdoors purchases at hard stand stores? I really only use them to get sizes and a feel for quality, then look for deals online. Sometimes I feel bad for it but there’s just such better deals to be had over the web. What’s everyone’s go to store...

    Redcliff for 4 People

    I have a 4 person moose float hunt this fall. We’re hiking 20 miles in to the unit and floating out, so every pound counts. We’re trying to get in one shelter. Will a Redcliff sleep 4 with no/minimal gear inside? We’re trying to keep our options open for running my large U-Turn. Our gear will be...

    Alaska Hunting & Fishing COVID Impacts

    Yesterday (31 March) Gov Dunleavy held a press conference and deflected the only hunting related question saying we’ll have more guidance in 24 hours. Does anyone know where and when that brief will be happening?

    PR49 Packraft Questions

    I’m doing a Grizzly float hunt in June and a moose float in September. Looking to have some questions answered about PR49 rafts. - How small do they actually get when rolled up? - Is packing one 10+ miles in the load shelf of a Metcalf feasible? - Pristine Ventures lists a 850 pound capacity, is...

    Am I crazy for preferring out of state-ers?

    I’ve come to the conclusion that (here in Alaska, at least) I’d rather run in to a non-resident in the woods than a fellow resident. Bear with me. I grew up dreading seeing the out of state license plate or rent a camper driving down my dirt roads, but the fact of the matter is that recently my...

    Steese Highway, AK Help for FNG

    Are there any Steese Highway veterans willing to share some pointers with a first timer? I’ve done several Taylor Highway hunts but it’s sounding like the herd is in the Northwest of the 40 mile range. Willing to trade other species spots for decent information. I’m just looking to get away from...

    Saddlebags for Dogs?

    I have a 18 month old German Shepherd that is my hunting/hiking buddy. He’s in great shape and is ready to carry some of the load on our multi day trips. Does anyone have any experience in this category? Looking for bag recommendations and pack weight vs. dog weight percentage. He’s 65-ish...

    Projected Release Date for First Lite ‘19 Line?

    I’m looking to place an order soon but am debating just holding off to see when the new line drops (interested in some new gloves from the ‘19 line). Does anyone have any insight on when the ‘19 stuff will hit the shelves?

    .270 Winchester Barrel Shortening

    I’m looking to turn my .270 in to a mountain rifle with some weight saving gun smithing (blah blah get a short action yeah you’re right got it thanks). Does anyone have a recommendation for how short of a barrel I can go? I’m looking at 20” but would like some first-hand input. Also yes I...
