    Kuiu Chugach vs. Kodiak island?

    Thanks for everyone's input. Found out over the weekend a buddy (similar size as me) has the Yukon set and for a case of beer will let me borrow it. Waiting to hear back from guide to make sure he's good with that and I will hopefully be good to go.

    Kuiu Chugach vs. Kodiak island?

    Am taking a last minute kodiak hunt this spring and am scrambling for rain gear. Here's my 2 options. 1. Get a set of the pvc stuff (i.e. Helly Hansen) and taking the Kuiu Chugach stuff I have for better days. 2. Ordering some good stuff (i.e. kuiu yukon) and only taking one set. Would...

    Scope choice for moose

    Thanks to everyone for the help but I'm putting this on hold. Got a text from a kodiak guy and he's got a cancelation for a bear I'm taking for 2 months from now :oops:. Guns gonna have to keep the glass it's got and I gotta spend some time behind it among a bunch of other scrambling

    Kuiu Super Down Pro - opinions??

    Firstlite thin merino base, Kuiu Pelton 240, and Kuiu Superpro down coat (lower setup about the same with the Super pro pants as the outer) sitting on stand for 11 hours in WI with a high of 18 for the day. The stuff is warm.

    How long have you been at your current job?

    got my first check from current company working summers in 1996. Climbed in the office after graduating college 5 years later. Sure it's not the same everywhere but loyalty has definitely paid off for me.

    Backcountry Snowmobiling

    Grew up snowmobiling in WI. We started a long time ago and it was always easiest for the group I used hit the hills with to head to Togwotee Mountain Lodge. Haven't been for 3 years or so but we stayed there, rented sleds there, and they have groups that go out depending on your skill level...

    Are you a generalist or specialist?

    If I had more time would love to do more. But running a business, family, ... all that kind of stuff limits what I can and can't do. It's LOTS of whitetail and a trip west to the mountains when I can.

    Scope choice for moose

    Oh no. On other rifles with higher power optics. The lower powered scope was bought for a kodiak bear hunt that took a poopy once COVID hit

    Scope choice for moose

    Bold assumption... :D . Definitely a novice, but confidence in longer shots is getting better the more I learn/practice. With the right scenario would be comfortable to about 500 yards at this point.

    Scope choice for moose

    Thanks for all the opinions. Think I'll either swap a 3.5-18x44 I have on another gun or see whats out there for sale with an objective that's bigger than the 32 I've got on the gun now.

    Scope choice for moose

    DANG IT!! I'm screwed 😀. Ultimately it's a moose hunt so the magnification is probably close enough, but you hit the nail on the head with the low light shots. Gonna do some low light shooting with it an make an assessment. Thanks

    Ethics in hunting, the story of my once in a lifetime Buck....

    Saw this one sliding down the list on the General page and wanted to make sure that everyone knows this recent "well known rokslider" is too stupid to give up on this miserable thread

    How Do You Brew Your Coffee?

    Same when I'm camping/hunting. Don't wanna sound like a city slicker but the single serve Starbucks jobbers aren't half bad.

    Scope choice for moose

    Planning a DIY moose hunt for a couple of years from now and was looking for an excuse to possibly buy another scope :). Have a 340 Wby with a 1.5-8x32 Vortex Razor on it that I was planning on taking. After looking at the contract it appears that if I get a crack at a wolf, black bear or...

    Public figure equipment

    Wait... I'm a grown man?! SWEET! :D . Joking aside, I can't argue with you on that point as I'm sitting here typing on my Dell laptop, wearing my Levi jeans, with a big wad of Copenhagen in my mouth. Guess my point was that I try to put more stock in what people like me thinks than some...

    Public figure equipment

    I've spent WAY too much on new gear in the last few years and ZERO decisions were made because of advertising. One thing that might have swayed any decisions were the opinions of what the folks on this forum. Thanks for the honesty Side note: The fella that taught me to hunt (pa) shot more...

    Does Rinella not allow a gun to be carried on his hunts?

    Love the reference. I almost always start with an answer that takes the least assumptions
