    Alaska 2026 Caribou/Moose Hunt Air Charters

    Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you were offering outfitting support. I'd love to hear what you do. I've done a lot of digging into the DIY options, but your firsthand knowledge would be very helpful.

    Alaska 2026 Caribou/Moose Hunt Air Charters

    I'm curious to hear what you have to offer. Hugh at Willow Air is very nice and helpful. I'm considering a caribou hunt with them, but their moose hunts are just out of my price range right now. Still exploring options. Shoot me an email. [email protected]

    Prince of Wales Island - Spring Black Bear Hunt

    Sadly, no. My stepson's graduation trip took priority, and I just didn't have the money. But I am going to go up and do a moose or caribou hunt in Alaska next fall. I'll hunt POW someday.

    Alaska 2026 Caribou/Moose Hunt Air Charters

    Well damn. That's good to know. Looks like the dog had a good time for sure. Would you mind sharing with me in a private message which river to avoid? I understand if you don't want to share.

    Alaska 2026 Caribou/Moose Hunt Air Charters

    So you've attempted this very thing already? How was the north slope?

    Alaska 2026 Caribou/Moose Hunt Air Charters

    I agree with you on that. I was leaning toward picking a river or geographical area that would be fun, and then focusing on whichever animal is most likely to be there. Kind of backwards, but the adventure is 90% of it.

    Alaska 2026 Caribou/Moose Hunt Air Charters

    Hey guys! My buddy and I are putting together a 10-day hunt in Alaska next fall, and I'm in the process of contacting air charters, raft rental companies, etc. The dream is to do a float hunt, most likely targeting caribou (but I'll probably grab a moose tag as well) in the southern Brooks...

    Did I blow out the bear?

    Switched to the 7mm and ended up harvesting a chocolate boar Saturday night at 350 yards. He was about 1,000 yards from the first bear. Maybe the miss before was my fault. Maybe it was the gun. Maybe it was the scope, rings, or base. But I trust that 7mm and it delivered beautifully. Appreciate...

    Did I blow out the bear?

    I checked my zero two weeks ago before the trip. I only drove a few hours and had it in a hard case. But thanks.

    Did I blow out the bear?

    Christensen's 20 moa rail, Vortex rings, and Leupold VX 6 3-18x44 scope. I run Talley rings on some of my other guns. The other scopes are Leupold VX 3 4.5-14x40

    Did I blow out the bear?

    I agree. It seems unlikely. But everything was torqued properly, and I have good rings on.

    Did I blow out the bear?

    That's good to know. Seems to be the consensus that they don't spook too far.

    Did I blow out the bear?

    That's good to know. I've heard that they can be hard to track unless it's a really good hit. I was back in my spot, glassing this evening. Didn't see him. I'll give it one more day and then look elsewhere. Things are starting to get green for sure, even more so than just two days ago. I'm...

    Did I blow out the bear?

    Before my hunt this evening, I went to some BLM with a proper paper target so I could see what was going on. I think the issue wasn't the cold bore, but somehow, it was shooting 5" to the right at 200 yards. I adjusted the scope and let it cool for about 10 minutes, and checked my other rifle...

    Did I blow out the bear?

    It was 550 yards. And the slope, though it had patches of timber, was quite open once you got over there. It was very easy to see.

    Did I blow out the bear?

    Damn. That's heartbreaking to lose a bear you know you shot. I certainly hope that's not what happened in my case. I have a digiscope that I intended to set up to verify my shots after the fact, but I literally had no time. He didn't show up until the last few minutes of legal light. I'm not...

    Did I blow out the bear?

    My question is, did I blow this bear out of the area by getting my scent all over the mountainside? If so, will the bear come back to that spot after a few days without disturbance? He'd have to go a mile or two to get to a comparable hillside that has green grass and seclusion. Now, here's the...

    Good luck up there! I'd love to hear all about it when you get back.
