    Newfoundland moose hunt

    My son and I hunted NL Moose during Oct 2022. I had also hunted Woodland Caribou there in 1999. The advice you've been given about leaving your leather boots home is correct. Rubber knee highs are the answer. We wore rubber Xtratuf boots that we commonly use for many applications in Alaska. Ours...

    During your moose hunt in 2023 suggest you have your buddy bring his own teepee. Likely he'll snore worse than a Grizzly Bear :) Good Luck

    Newfoundland Moose

    We did a Father Son NL Moose hunt Oct 2022 with Big River Camps. It was a remote fly out hunt departing from Deer Lake NL. Saw two very good racks leave with hunters departing as we arrived. Son shot a decent bull and I shot a small bull near the end of our hunt but honestly, we killed the only...

    Unit 37 Idaho Hunt

    Very Well done. Taking a ram of that quality DIY is a unique accomplishment that relatively few achieve. Unit 37 Sheep populations and a quality hunting opportunity in Idaho is a rare conservation success story. Awesome that you were able to experience it.

    Drawing WY Bighorn Tag NR

    My son has 23 nonresident WY Sheep points and I have 23 Moose points. The 90/10 change was shocking news and a despicable breach of contract by Wyoming and is worthy of a Class Action lawsuit. With more than two decades of participation, we are too far invested to abandon at this point and can...

    Unit 37 Idaho Hunt

    Very well done. Excellent Ram and to have done it self guided is remarkable. Many hunters have paid North of $50K and taken Rams not better than yours on guided hunts. Sincere Congratulations on the successful adventure of a lifetime.

    Another new Pope and Young WR Goat

    Well done Kaleb. Right place, right time and he "Got up, Dressed up & Showed up"! Strong goat populations, good weather and a solid hunter is the right combination. To understand how well the stars aligned for this fantastic accomplishment, it comes into focus when one has witnessed big game...

    Very well said mxgs... The outdoor adventure passion continues with kindred spirits of each generation. I take much pleasure and enjoyment seeing my adult sons carrying the torch brightly while totally embracing the hunting culture. Like most passionate hunters, my sons can't get enough of the...

    Best luck wished for you with your NA 29 goal LiWolverine. Good on you for having experienced the Lab/Q bou adventure before that door slammed shut. I had barely returned home to Idaho from my Lab/Q caribou hunt when our Nation was attacked on Sep 11 2001 by terrorists. Coolers of my Caribou...

    Speaking of being Modest. Mike.adams.467 has accomplished an amazing success record of archery elk kills during a time when even the most dedicated hunters are usually coming home empty. Reintroduced wolves destroyed a once incredible Elk population in Idaho and hunters who enjoyed that bounty...

    Thover best wishes on your Sitka blacktail hunt. That could be a good memorable adventure for you. In answer to your question about Polar Bear with a bow: I used archery gear to take my Muskox on Banks Island NWT in April 1996. Temps with wind chill dropped below negative 40F during that hunt...

    Thx Afhunter1! In the 90s I took a carbon steel blued Ruger M77 North and watched it rust before my very eyes. I later picked up a Winchester Model 70 classic (pre-64 style) in Stainless Steel w synthetic stock and used that 300 Win Mag for the majority of my NA29 and it has become my go-to gun...

    Hats off to you Blockcaver. You are much tougher than myself to have hung in there to finish your SS with archery gear. I'll look you up as SS # 199 and Bow # 40. I haven't yet attended a GSCO convention to formally receive my SS # 176 yet as we have some fun family achievers nearing their...

    Ha, not make it back alive...While Goat hunting you often risk life daily. Hunting moose in AK before GPS, I've barely found my way back to camp a number of times in the dark. Wearing wet wool for 10 straight days of rain in AK is no picnic. Ran out of toilet paper, food, frostbite and...

    Polar Bears can be hunted on tags allocated to Inuit communities by annual quota. Best Outfitters to work through are Canada North Outfitting or Ameri-cana Expeditions. My beautiful Polar Bear rug is now displayed on the office conference room wall of a Canadian relative who lives South of...
