    Kodiak,, Boats, Bears and Backpacks.

    Luke and I killed our first bear together on Kodiak back in 2011, at his suggestion I entered the draw for an area he and Becca hunted before. Both Luke's brother Kyle and I drew a tag and Luke agreed we should go as a group to see if we could find something worth cutting a tag for. I guess not...

    I take a Texan floatin.........

    My brother-in-law ask me to take his best friend on a moose hunt. Shawn and I chat and I ask about budget and how he wants to hunt. We decide that a float hunt for a bull he might have a chance at with his bow was the best fit. I have a tag in my pocket too, but mainly we are going to try to...

    "The Doubler"

    Over the years I've come to learn that the weather in the Northern Brooks Range, is much like Kodiak. You get a low front and then a day or 2 of high pressure, rinse repeat and add some water in the form of rain, fog, snow, sleet often all at once. So this year I planned for staying a long time...

    After having the great fortune of harvesting a few rams, I’m now at the stage in my hunting life where I have to balance my love of this crazy addiction known as wild sheep hunting with my health and sheep conservation. Happiness is just having the opportunity to spend a few, all too brief...

    We don't live forever!!

    Seems like every season a hunter is killed chasing the life we all hold dear. Always tragic to have a loved one die young and healthy,, but even more so when they die and leave their family with no financial support. I'm a believe in life insurance, and have a policy that will provide for my...

    "NOT" The best sheep hunt ever.

Having taken several Dall Rams, I'm becoming more interested in the conservation side, I had decided not to hunt OTC this past fall. Then my Son ask my to take him to try to get hist first...

    Kifaru Lightweight Duplex (review)

    Was lucky enough to get my paws on a prototype of the new Kifaru LW Duplex frame. WOW,,I have gotten about 20 miles under it so far and I'm extremely impressed with the improvements. So of course making something lighter that goes on your back is always better, but making it lighter and more...

    Kimber Mountain Ascent Firing Pin Spring.

    Let me first say,, that I'm totally happy with both my Mountain Ascents, I have had to work on both. The 280AI needed the most as I had to polished the follower and blind box to get it to feed right. Both are very accurate, but both would misfire every once in a while and was worst with factory...

    Sous Vide Billy Goat Steaks

    Goat is not known as the most tender of game meat. Saved a couple back strap steaks from this years goat to try. 12 hours in the water bath and browned in high temp grape seed oil. Came out very tender and tasty, not fork tender but still much more so than just cooked on the grill.

    EMR II takes a canoe ride

    Had a chance to take the EMR II out for a canoe trip down the Yukon. We flew into a drainage near Canada and floated out to Circle Alaska. Was honored to be accompanied by a local trapper that has lived in the bush for over 30 years. Sheep Sleeping pad made from a Fannin sheep hide.
