That is not crazy, but also not exactly my cup of tea so to speak. However, I should be able to log some flying hours ahead of time to inform my decision on where to focus.
I appreciate all of the discussion. My intent is not to walk around on the ice, but I've seen that there's some strips on the glacier edges so some amount of navigation over the ice may be required to get on/off and to/from hunt-able drainages?
I'd rather not pack the weight, but don't want to...
Hello fellow sheep enthusiasts-
I was super fortunate to draw DS165. Have to admit, I'm a pretty new AK resident and this will be my first real dall's hunt. I have a couple of questions for anyone that's done this hunt (or similar) before.
- Timing -- Aug 10 - Sept 20 is the season, any...
Favorite way to prepare with multiple future options is to cut squirrel into 5 pieces (quarters and loin section). Save the rib section and neck for the stock pot as these pieces have lots of small bones and excluding them reduces the strays in the final product in my experience.
Slow cook the...
Lands End and LLBean have many such coats at good prices. They also have coats of varying lengths. I got my wife what we call the "sleeping bag coat" last year from LE. She loves that thing when it goes <0 and someone has to walk the dog...
The forloh option looks nice if you want to keep it...
My action screws came from factory very loose and gun wouldn’t shoot worth a damn. Took a while to diagnose. I put in the MT bottom metal in addition to the trigger spring. Torqued to 40/35 back and front. Perfect groups.
have you tried shooting it yet at 35/20?
Definitely. I dry rub and smoke for 1.5 hrs. Then braise covered in a 275-300 oven until they get nice and tender. Braise liquid usually a bit of cider vinegar and cherry juice but beer or red wine work. Slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and get that carmelized on the grill
The gov didn't shut down, so maybe the dream died. But surely the possibility of another shutdown will happen again, and maybe during the rut!
To the OP: I can't comment on your locations per se, but I lived in WI for 30 years. Shot deer on private and public. Sounds like you have some great...
I haven't tried that model yet, but should if I could find one locally to try on.
I spent some time on the phone with a product manager at Lowa a few years ago trying to sort all of this out, and she told me that the Tibet hi was built on a wider last (hunting last or something like that if I...
My first Tibets (Hi version, std width) are from ~2015. I just got a new pair last year and they have relocated the stud on the tongue a bit higher up and added webbing to the heel eyelet. the eyelets below the locking ones are ball bearing. My feeling is that the new version (I have 11.5 in...
To me, the camino was a slightly narrower fit than Renegade and less toe box width especially at the metatarsal area. This was a few years ago, so things could be different. I was disappointed in the fit of both compared to my Tibets for some reason. I had the camino in a wide version, and it...
What I settled on for mule deer (and all other recent mountain hunts):
12x50 bino w/adapter
25-60x 77mm spotter
The spotter will sometimes stay in the truck, depending on the situation.
I had a pair of 15x56 binos but sold them and got the 12s.
I lived on the south side of town, south of I-84 up near the hospital, and liked that area. The business district and old part of town is in the old river flood plain behind a levee system. The north hill area is pretty desirable and has a mix of housing options. The rental market was tight...
I lived there for 8 years. Not sure what draw odds are for spring bear for NR. Turkey are distributed across the Blues, and the hunting can be great. There are off-columbia river waterfowl opportunities you can try without a boat. Three national wildlife refuges and Wanaket which is managed by...
