    Float Hunting Alaska's Wild Rivers FS?

    The book was spoken for in less than an hour. I probably should have kept it a few years longer to pay for my kids' college!

    Float Hunting Alaska's Wild Rivers FS?

    I have a used copy (paperback - "revised edition") that I bought new back in 2019. $65 via Venmo if someone can use it.

    FCS Playoffs

    It was a pleasure to get to see this SDSU team in person several times this year. Definitely one of the FCS all-time greats! They've done a lot to grow the fanbase here in SD over the last 3-4 years.

    FCS Playoffs

    I had to sell my Frisco tickets a couple weeks ago when I noticed that the Dallas Safari Club Convention (which I have to exhibit at) and the game are not on the same weekend this year. They typically overlap nicely. I can't justify flying down there twice in a few days (if SDSU makes it)...

    BC Moose meat to US

    We used a pickup bed completely full of coolers to haul most of two moose from northern BC to S. Dakota. The meat was hung and cooled, then boned out, before we left the camp. We used a little ice (10 lbs per cooler - replaced once) and everything was fine when we got home around 40 hours after...

    BC Moose meat to US

    Three of us are driving from S. Dakota to BC in mid-September and we hope to bring back the meat from (at least) one moose. We're taking three 150 qt coolers, which I have read should haul all the meat from a boned out moose. Those three coolers fill most of the bed of the truck. Anything else...

    Alaska haul road hunting trip

    I used Uhaul vehicles (rented in Fairbanks) in both 2020 and 2022 on the Haul Road. Saw lots of them.

    B.C. antlers: Ship, trailer, pickup truck?

    They'll be skull capped. Good tip on the borax and wrap. WMR: You're right, cost is not an issue at all with a UHaul trailer. I struggle more with picturing pulling it that far. I suppose people do it all the time. Does UHaul provide a spare tire?

    B.C. antlers: Ship, trailer, pickup truck?

    What would you do as far as getting a couple sets of moose antlers home from B. C. ? Here's the scenario: Two of us are driving 25 hours from S. Dakota to the Prince George area. We will likely be in an open bed pickup truck and the bed will be mostly full of three 150 quart coolers and some...

    Source for High-Quality Physical Topo Maps?

    I have a drawer full of custom maps from Mytopo.com. Have used them since about 2007. Durable, waterproof paper - rolled or folded. Your name comes printed right on them so people that "permanently borrow" them can always feel a little guilty when they open them up. Yes, I'm a little bitter...

    AK Moose/Caribou Planning and Gear Lessons Learned

    On my last AK hunt (3rd DIY moose trip) I took a 4' section of Thermarest Z pad in addition to my inflatable sleeping pad. That extra item is now going to be standard. It can be used as a ground cloth next to the cot at night, or put under my standard pad on really cold nights. During the day...

    Where are my anti-debt/credit card people at?

    I have never paid a dollar in credit card interest but I have used credit card points to purchase a lot of gear and trips. Three roundtrip flights to Alaska and the airline fee for a family of four to Florida come to mind, and that's just in the last 6 years. If you're not disciplined enough...

    FCS Playoffs

    I'm looking forward to my first trip to Frisco (SDSU fan). It's hard not to be confident after being in the stands and seeing the Jacks completely dominate the lines of scrimmage against MSU. I'm not dumb enough to overlook NDSU in the playoffs, however. To beat them you don't just have to be...

    Jack Russell Terrier questions

    I have had two females that would have fit your definition of "stick". At the same time, my brother had a female that definitely would not have. We had to dig her out of a muskrat hole once or twice and she finally disappeared at about age 8 (probably down another hole). In my experience, each...

    I'll be at the game in Brookings Saturday. Go Jacks!

    InReach SOS use summary

    Same for me - an accidental SOS activation within my pack in the Brooks Range. It went on for an hour or more before I noticed. My wife about killed me over that! She was on the phone with an AK trooper while they tried to sort it out. He told her they don't typically send help in the first hour...

    Dalton Highway Hunt Rent

    How has Fairbanks Uhaul been treating you caribou hunters this season? I learned about Turo from this site about a year ago and quickly booked a pickup truck in the Fairbanks area using the app. Thankfully, this site (including jdvanstar's post above) also warned me that Turo rentals can...

    meat drag

    I bought one of those Magnum Deer Sleigh'rs for my upcoming AK trip. It's weight and bulk is substantial if one is trying to go light, but I'm willing to try it to avoid carrying a moose hind quarter across the tundra.

    Who's Moose Hunting Alaska 2022?!?

    30-something days to go for me too - Southern Brooks Range. There's been a lot of food planning and prep lately. I made up a dozen pudding-in-a-ziplock snacks yesterday. That's always a nice dessert up on the glassing point, where periodic food projects help fight off the boredom that can come...

    Major Airlines Fees

    I booked a 2022 Omaha to Fairbanks flight (Alaska Airlines) a couple months ago. I still have Google tracking changes in the price of that trip. It has gone up and down between $250 and $400 continuously with no apparent pattern.
