    DIY Hike in AK Sheep

    Speaking of bad weather... The interior just got plenty of it. Heavy, wet snow followed up with cold temps to really lock it down. Usually not a good combo for sheep late in the spring. Hopefully the mountains get some warm temps sooner rather then later.

    Swift Fork Air and Shadow Aviation out of Fairbanks. Fly Denali out of Healy. These could be potentials as well.

    Tent/Shelter for Caribou hunt

    Can't go wrong with one of the Cabelas Alaskan Guide tents. They have been proven many times up here. Wind is never an issue, until it is.... Same with wet saturated ground. Floorless can be a good option but its really going to depend on location. Bugs are pretty variable depending on the year...

    MR MetCalf for Sheep Hunting

    Metcalf on guide lite frame. It'll work for a week long sheep hunt but you'll be at max capacity on the way out with a ram. In this pic the pack is loaded with all my gear plus 1/2 a ram for the trip out. I did not employ the load shelf because with all my gear in the bag it moves to much weight...

    sheep - 270 vs 6.5cm

    My gun just shoots the copper bullets better. I shot a caribou with 145 grain eldx out of the 270 and didn't notice much difference in bullet damage. If you want massive trauma and a heck of mess, use Berger Hybrids. Shot a caribou with those this last year and it looked like a grenade went off...

    sheep - 270 vs 6.5cm

    .270 for sure. I've used my Rem 700 on sheep, goats, caribou, and black bears. 130 grain Hornady GMX or 130 barns TSX is mostly what I use. If I was carrying a 6.5 and saw a nice grizzly I'd have a little hesitation before I started slinging lead. No hesitation with the 270. Just let er rip!

    Toughest, Softshell Type Hunting Pants

    I haven't got a chance to test the pants yet but they are thinner then the attacks so should breath a bit better and feel like they will shed water pretty good unless its a heavy rain. Don't have briars in AK so not sure how they'll stand up to those but the material seems very tough. They fit a...

    Toughest, Softshell Type Hunting Pants

    Just picked up a pair of the Kuiu Katanas when they were on sale. Haven't put them to the test yet but seem like the perfect pant. Lighter then the attacks but feel more durable and a little more stretch. Fit is awesome.

    Beaver Plane Prices on Kodiak

    If you keep your weight under 800# Sea Hawk will give you the 206 rate even though they only operate a beaver. Island Air has all kinds of planes including a cub on floats and 180 on wheels. If you pack light its possible to fly in with a small plane and then out on a beaver to accommodate all...

    Obsidian Merino Pants from FL

    Very comfortable pant and fairly durable. Just depends on how hard you are on gear. I tend to keep my gear in mind while I'm using it. I've had a pair of obsidians for 2 years now and have taken them on numerous trips including a weeklong sheep hunt and a weeklong goat hunt on Kodiak. Only pair...

    DCUA map?

    No need to fly in for this tag. Plenty of good spots can be had by hiking from the road 6-10 miles, about the same you'd end up hiking after flying in to the few strips. Another option is to use that SxS and take some gear back into one of the long haul areas (Gerstle River/July creek & 33 mile...

    Water Filter

    I used the MSR Trailshot this past year and it worked great. Pumps about a liter per minute and weighs nothing. Just drain the water when you're done and shouldn't have any freeze issues.

    Kodiak Success

    Thanks! Goats might be my new favorite hunt. We flew with Seahawk. Roland sure knows the goats. This was DG474 area. Plenty of billies to be had and lots of areas to land if the weather allows.

    Looking to book Alaska Caribou hunt

    They have repeat clients but should be easier to book with then 40 mile given some good lead time.

    Looking to book Alaska Caribou hunt

    Do a self guided drop hunt with one of the air taxis for the 40 mile herd in the interior of Alaska. I'd recommend Swift Fork Air: 907-458-0734, [email protected] or Shadow Aviation: 907-457-7194, [email protected]. Both are one man operations running super cubs. Very good...
