Who's Moose Hunting Alaska 2022?!?
12 more days until I go in to setup moose camp. Garage looks like a gear explosion! -
40 Mile Caribou Backpacking Hunt
Hunters are reminded to call the Fortymile Caribou Herd Hotline (907) 267-2310 for updates about the hunt quota and bag limit before departing for the field to learn of zone closures. This would be more of a Trooper question (and you may get different answers), what does departing for the... -
40 Mile Caribou Backpacking Hunt
Vern is correct. I would expect Steese area to be open for caribou for only a few hours before they close it. If you dont have one down within a few hours of day light make sure you call hotline before you pull the trigger. -
Black bears move out when grizzlies move in?
2rocky would be correct. All depends on the bears coming into site and the surrounding area. If the area is dense with vegetation and the black bears feel they can escape before attacked they will stay around. One site I has black bears and grizzlies tag teaming the site. I mean after 5... -
Pack dump
Caribou Gear, Tag, Argali are the bags I use. Different sizes for whatever hunt I'm on. Bone in - 28x60 bags for quarters (ribs if required) and some other smaller bags for other meat. Deboned - This year I'm running Argali high country bags 17x29. This is for backpack hunting. -
Best waist belt for hunting pants?
I bought 1" webbing strap roll and cut a section of it to the length I wanted. Burn the ends and add buckle. Off of the same roll I made my hunting partner a belt too. Feels great under pack and it is running strong after 4 years of use. -
Pack dump
Will always have binos, weapon and tags. Everything else depends on location, hunt type, weather and if with another hunter. A drop camp I would stay within a few miles of base camp. Packing a moose out more than 2 miles is a huge effort. Try to call moose in closer to camp, if in mid to late... -

Kenetrek Mountain Extreme and their boot wax?
I would use their boot wax. Has been working good on my boots. -
Kifaru 44 Mag
44 Mag is very nice, no complaints. I use it mostly for Bear stand hunting and anything under a few days. For stand hunting I like that I can unzip the top to be able to get into pack and all pockets. If I am doing a backpack hunt I use a bigger bag that weighs less. -
Trying on boots
-Find a boot you want to try, research if they fit small or large, order what you normally wear and a size up or down from your research. -Return the pair that doesn't fit right out of box. -Wear the pair that fits out of box for a few miles on a treadmill and see how they feel. Make a decision... -
Kifaru hunter vs duplex lite
My personnel opinion when I had the hunter frame I could not get it to be very comfortable. I got the duplex lite frame last year and it is the most comfortable frame I have run. I have used and sold Stone glacier and EXO K3 also. -
Beginning to buy gear for 2022 moose drop in AK.
I do not hunt moose in a unit with on bone requirements. So I guess it all depends on where you are hunting, however, I would not want to pack out a hind quarter bone on more then 1/2 or even 1 mile. I always try to butcher with gutless method. Ribs off bones you just cut them out with extra... -
Beginning to buy gear for 2022 moose drop in AK.
How long will you be hunting? I normally run "gortex" like rain gear, however, I can pull out or make a fire to dry everything. If you are not hiking a lot go with rubber rain gear for a drop camp. I use a havalon and one fixed blade for moose. I have only needed a saw to remove antlers from... -
Brooks Range 2021 Return Training and Gear Prep Begins
It all depends... The only "solid" rain gear is the rubber stuff, however, I will not hike with that stuff on. For normal wet weather (no kodiak weather) I would say the FirstLite SEAK is good to go if you already have it. I am running Seak jacket and Kuiu Katana pants for most all hunts. I... -
Footwear for Sheep
Do you have any feet issues? Do you normally run a less stiff boot? Have you been into the area where your tag is located to better judge actual terrain? In my experience (no feet issues) I have switched from a less stiff boot to a stiffer boot while in the mountains. I have found a stiffer... -
How heavy is your pack?
There is a big difference in where, when, who, how. But staying with what you have stated. Going in solo would add about 5 more pounds to my pack vs splitting gear with a partner. Basic break down would be: Pack and gear - 35 solo Bino harness - 3.6 Weapon - 6.6 Water (3 liter bladder) - 6.6... -
Brooks Range 2021 Return Training and Gear Prep Begins
I don't go on any hunt here in AK without my lost park parka. It is by far the best puffy I have used. I ran the Kuiu Kutana rain pants this past year and to my disbelief they help up to everything. They dry super fast too. My hunting partner rain the jacket with no issues for the last 2 years... -
