    I was there in 2023, and no one inquired if I had the vaccine.

    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.

    Agreed. Way to shoot yourself in the foot. Expect to see increased prices in the future….

    The Rinella Effect

    Have any of you guys noticed what happened to opportunities in Alaska as a result of the big names influencers especially……GoHunt: Well, if you ever wanted to go to Kodiak to hunt for more than one deer, that’s gone if you’re not a resident. More than likely your opportunity to go hunt Caribou...

    Anyone Draw?

    Just landed in Kodiak for a goat hunt. Maybe I can pick your brains when I get back from the field?

    Anyone Draw?

    Lucked out again...Drew the Talkeetna Caribou tag and will fly out for 10 days in September for another solo adventure.

    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.

    Thanks guys. Buzzy congrats on the draw. The logistics are definitely not something to do last minute so I'm glad you have everything you can take are of done. Now it's just a waiting game...I'm going with Ishmael.

    Best and worst hunting/outdoor writers

    I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the late Canadian author of so many inspiring outdoor adventures stories for young people, Farley Mowat. Another favorite, is John Haines, an Alaskan poet and writer who homesteaded after WWII. If you really want to be inspired by the North country, pick up...

    That's a great question, and probably one I'm grappling with the most. I would anticipate keeping the rifle outside the house in a soft case as soon as I get to Mekoryuk. Whatever I bring will stay outside or in some sort of cold shed to prevent any warm/freeze condensation issues. I'm also...

    Thank you for the feedback. That is exactly the kind of information that I would like to hear about. My 338 Win Mag bolt action is a safer bet, but it doesn't shoot as accurately. Although at 100 yards or less, that's pretty nonsensical. I go back and forth, but if I hear enough from folks...
