    Coastal Black Bears- Why do you go? Why Don't you go?

    It’s honestly too easy. Not much of a true hunt involved. If you’re fat, okay it might be a hunt for you but it’s really like catching fish in a barrel. Oh, and they also don’t taste very good. Not as bad as a coastal Fall bear, but they still have residual salmon taste.

    Sheep book

    I don’t think you’ll find more published information on sheep hunting anywhere. Great books to read, and written by a great guy.

    New State Guide Concession Areas

    With the new passage of Senate Bill 97 here in Alaska state lands will be moving to a guide concession program much like on Federal lands. Hopefully this will reduce crowding in areas of the state with no limit on the number of guides that can operate in them. Additionally, it will incentivize...

    Reliable air transportation services in Alaska

    It wouldn’t surprise me if many transporters adopt a 40 Mile Air business model of repeat clients only in the future.

    Glacier Bears - Unit 1C South (DL018)

    Hey Buzzy, you should reach out to the ADF&G in Juneau for this kind of information. Whatever you learn, please don't post it on the internet. Those bears are incredibly unique, and whenever people start posting unique and hard to do hunts on forums they take off like wildfire.

    Anyone looking for a pilot?

    If you're looking for jobs in AK, you're most likely going to need quite a few more hours especially if you want to fly floats or tailwheel. However, given the state of the industry that may or may not hold true currently for 135 operators up here. My recommendation is to learn what the air...

    Kodiak deer limit reduced for nonresidents

    Would you be interested in hearing where the next restriction will be? (My opinion anyway) Just do a quick Youtube search on Dalton Highway Caribou and you'll see. It's pretty spectacular how many people feel the need to showcase where they hunt. After the shutdown of caribou on much of the...

    @BradA, are you referring to Greenland for your trip? I think it would certainly be a very exciting adventure just getting there.
