    Axle to Axle Advantages?

    Good evening - I just learned something I'm a little frustrated I wasn't told years ago OR more likely I was told and the information didn't stick. I bought a Mathews VXR28 few years back and have really enjoyed the bow though I haven't shot it as much as I should have the last 18 months. I was...

    Alaska Haul Road Caribou - flub

    Buddy and I went up as we had heard the Caribou were along the road north of the Brooks Range. The Caribou were off the highway North of Atigun so after a night in a snow storm and no sign of clearing up we headed south. Started looking for Caribou once we got south of the pass and saw signs at...

    Well I'm not where I wanted to be - I got 3+ weeks to get as close as I can but we will make it. Delta Sheep 2023 is right around the corner. It could be interesting with the recent cooler weather we have had this last week following a hot and smokey couple of weeks. Re thinking some weight...

    280AI

    So I am not reloading yet - but I'm hoping to. I have two things going on right now. 1 - my rifle shoots the Factory 140 Grain AccuBonds EXTREMELY well. From what I can tell - minimum Expansion Velocity on these is still at 1800 fps which is Nosler standard outside of their Long Range which is...

    Swarovski Spotting Scope- HD vs Not

    So I'll be buying a spotter later this month or next depending on how my next couple of checks turn out.

    Alaska Sheep

    Well ... looks like I'll be for sure in the mountains this year. With numbers low I was debating doing something else but I drew one of the better tags in Alaska and I know a few guys who have gone in on the hunt. Hopefully there are still some big rams back up in there. Looking at Late season...

    I have a set of Antlers I cut the Skull Cap from and now I want to mount it on a Plaque and do the old school leather covered plaque mount.

    Waterfowl Musings

    I'm in a quandary. I love Waterfowl Hunting. I was a late starter - I grew up in a hunting family but didn't start hunting myself until I moved to Juneau, Alaska (wife's Hometown). I tried to pickup big game but stuck in Juneau with no boat big game is limited, HIGHLY pressured, and not a...

    Alternative to Nalgene

    Sorry - many of you are going to think this is silly or dumb. But here I am! So I went 'home' over the summer to see my folks. I discovered my old Nalgene from High School so I brought it back to Alaska. I washed it out there and a couple of times since. But I noticed when I was drinking out...
