I think a lot of it depends on what type of hunt/adventure you're looking for. Horseback, basecamp and spike out, ridge top, float ect. If you're just looking to get a great bull I'd look into Gods aviation. If I had the money I'd go there, great success rates on great bulls. If you're...
I switched last year from the stone 7900 to the K4 and I loved my stone I just got the itch to try something new. I don't think you can go wrong either way but the ease of use with everything on the exo was a huge seller for me. Taking the bag on and off the frame, nalgene holder and comfort...
I'm going with renfros next year and I went with Troy in 2018. Everything that troy could help with and control went amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to go with him again. Some buddies and I just wanted to try a different part of alaska. 2 years ago we hunted by the talkeetna river. after...
I'm going to venture outside of my home state and try a 3rd season tag next year. As a disclaimer I have read through I believe all the previous posts about 3rd season elk and I am not looking for units or anything specific. The area I am looking at is between 10K and 12K for elevation and all...
hello! I'm going to be headed up to 471 for a 3rd rifle elk hunt next year. I know it isn't early season but wondering if you had any tips or tricks. I don't live near the area either so pre scouting isn't an option for me. Anything you'd be willing to share would be awesome but if not, no...
I'm in mountain terrain, 9,000 ft. mostly quake and pine. I know a lot of people with dogs they use for bear and cats. Would they be able to track for blood?
Nobody likes to admit when they make a bad shot but sadly it happens. I need some help here. I took a quartering to shot 2 days ago on a bull with a 300 win mag. it was a tight shot but I believe the bull stepped as I squeezed the trigger and it hit a little far back. the blood trail was...
This is a great question and topic in my opinion. I just got back from an alberta archery moose hunt and it was my first guided hunt as well. Similar to you I'm an avid hunter and regardless of the weapon I typically harvest elk and deer on OTC tags in low success units, I mention that because...
with a mechanical hitting anything other than hide is a concern just due to the already lack of penetration I would assume but like I said, I've always used fixed heads QAD's. Thats a valid point about the ferrule breaking with the aluminum build
Awesome video! I assume he's in a league of his own with his draw weight, length and arrow speed if I had to guess but thats impressive to take a bear like that with a mechanical.
I agree with the premium for the set up but I love the concept of passing the rips before deployment. I always hear good things about sevr and the theory of going around the rib is nice as well. I'll have to look at the thorn GI. I love fixed heads but a bigger cut is starting to be more...
Anyone see this video lately? I'm a fixed head kind of guy but Im intrigued with these because it eliminates the fear of hitting a rib. I'd love to hear other opinions on this head
I always love reading other people's post about how their moose hunts went and even though mine didn't end with a kill it was to this day my favorite hunt! I booked a hunt with Valid outfitters based out of alberta CA, we were back country bow hunting along the mcleod river for 10 days. We...
As I'm raising my kids now, these are the types of experiences I look forward to having in the future. What an amazing experience and true life trophy.
The hunt is happening next year. It's tricky finding out information but I plan to call the biologist next year after the winter passes and hope to get more details.
Sounds like great advice thank you! we'll be hunting from the 30-8. I hope the rut will be in full swing by then, the outfitter said that the moose have just started coming down off the mountain so hopefully each day brings a little more opportunity
I'm headed to alberta for an archery moose hunt in 2 weeks and the strategy is to walk a river system looking for moose. I've done 2 DIY drop camp hunts in AK and that's just sitting ridge tops calling and glassing so this type of hunt will be a first for me. I do a lot of archery elk hunting...
