    Disconcerting Day’s Events

    Long story short, had a guy wandering around my property and my parents’ place next door. Red crown vic with no hubcaps. White guy about 50, tatted up, ripped jeans, bloody knuckles, pit bull on a rope leash. Had a very strange conversation with him. Couldn’t decide if he was schizophrenic...

    AK moose recap

    No teasers here. Came home with no meat but a lot of good memories. If you want to follow along … My son and I drew a couple moose tags in an antler-restricted unit south of Fairbanks. My brother-in-law lives outside of Anchorage and came with his menagerie of resident tag options. We used...

    Moose Hunt - Gear to Bring or Leave

    I am getting my gear together for my Alaska moose hunt (leave on Saturday). I keep going back and forth on a few items and would appreciate some input. I am used to backcountry elk hunts and try to run a 40# pack (dry) for a week long hunt. My weight for this 10 day drop hunt has gotten out of...

    Wolf pelt prep in the backcountry

    I picked up a wolf tag for my upcoming AK moose fly-in hunt. 11 days near the glacial headwaters of a river. I have no experience turning ears, lips, webbed paws, feet, etc, and honestly I would rather leave it to a pro to make sure it’s done right. Is there a way to do the primary skinning...

    F-ing copperheads!

    My girl got bit by a copperhead today. I was in the garage getting ready to push the boat out when I hear her yelp, see her jump back, then watch her high tail it out of sight. I thought it may have been yellow-jackets, until I walk closer and see a good sized one coiled up. I grab a shovel from...

    Fluid Head Recs

    I am looking for recommendations on a budget friendly, decent but not amazing, fluid head for glassing with a 2.5lb spotter. It’s for my upcoming moose hunt in AK in an antler restricted area, so something that won’t drive me crazy during long glassing sessions and can lock down tight and be...

    To cut or not to cut, that is the question. Suppressor & Barrel Length

    I just got my suppressor in yesterday (6" Harvester EVO) and now am looking at my different rifles to decide which ones to modify. I would love some input from you all that use them on your hunting rifles. Should I thread them all? Skip some? Keep them long? Cut some down? To what length? Here...

    Help getting boots to dry

    I have a pair of insulated rubber boots that I wear waterfowl hunting. Irish Setter, 800g insulation. I stepped into a hole back in January and filled them with water. I have hung them upside down in my garage for a few weeks, set them outside in the sun for a few weeks, put newspapers inside...

    How do you dispatch wounded birds?

    I've pulled turkeys' heads plumb off trying to wring necks. I've had "dead" geese come back to life and try to attack me in the boat. I've had chukar and doves give me a surprise back rub through my vest pouch. There's got to be a reliable way to quickly and reliably dispatch wounded/crippled...

    Dalva’s Chariot

    No, there isn’t a new posthumous Jim Harrison novel (although I wish there were). This is a post on the evolution of my puppy’s waterfowl hunting throne. We took her out on her first trip during the September teal and goose season, river jump-shooting. We took canoes and my buddy brought his...

    New Elk HuntingnStrategy: Method Acting!!

    I witnessed a unique new elk hunting strategy that I hope will NOT start sweeping the country. At daybreak, after a brutal 2400’ climb in Idaho’s famous flatlands 🤣, I finally found the herd way back and way up. 20+ cows and the bull of a lifetime. A dandy 7x7. They were relaxed, feeding on...

    Things dogs eat …

    I love my dog, but this morning we were not on good terms. Walked into the room where I have all my stuff laid out for my upcoming hunt and find her chewing on the hand turned African Rosewood elk call that my good friend and hunting buddy made and gave to me as a Christmas present. 🤬😡😤 Took me...

    Free Magnetospeed Sporter Bayonet

    Did you accidentally blast your bayonet to smithereens? I have a Magnetospeed Sporter that started throwing “bayonet unplugged” error. They sent me a new one and I still have the old set. I tried all of the configurations with new and old components and the issue seems to be in the display, not...
