    Sitka 3/4 pants elastic modifications

    Anyone have the Sitka kelvin lite 3/4 pants that has made a modification to the bottom to add more elastic? I’m looking to either add elastic or make the bottom a little more narrow so there’s not such an enormous opening. Anyone have ideas?

    45-70 grizzly ammo

    Is the hornady leverevolution 325gr 45-70 sufficient for grizzly bear defense in Alaska? I was able to get a lot of the 325gr leverevolution ammo at a great price, but not sure if it is worth taking in a backup gun while bow hunting moose. Anyone have experience with this ammo on big bears?

    What flashlight do you bring along on day hunts?

    Home depot sells some pretty decent energizer head lamps for 250-325 lumens. Pick up a head lamp and a hand held flashlight. Head lamps are great because they leave your hands free, but are mostly only good for flooding the area you are working/ walking in. Hand held lights are great for seeing...

    Glock 20 (10mm) hip or thigh holster recs

    IMO, Diamond D Chest holster is a great option. A little pricey, but you are able to adjust it to sit just below and off to the side of your binos. A thigh holster just causes the gun to brush up against everything, scratches up the gun (if you care), gets snagged on branches, and can cause more...

    Sidearm black bear hunting

    Might be wise to carry one of the three you mentioned with some hard cast bullets from buffalo bore or underwood. I would opt for the 357, but even the 9 is better than nothing. You probably wont need it, but if you do need it, it could be the last time you ever need it

    Alaskan Bow hunting side arm?

    Does anyone carry a side arm while archery hunting moose in alaska? I will be with a guide, but not always will I be next to him as bow hunting can take me away from him if he is calling or raking. I will be hopefully super close to a large bull moose and there will be grizzlies and black bears...

    Who's Moose Hunting Alaska 2021?!?

    We’re haded to southeast AK to bow hunt moose. Trying to start getting the gear and clothing all situated. Been shooting the bow out to 50 yards. Just need more space to work out farther distances.
