    Haul Road Pro Tip

    Thanks OP. Logged on to make a post about this exact same thing. Just got home last night from up there and it was the worst I've ever seen it. Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful the amount of turds and wipes everywhere. Troopers need to start enforcing littering fines up there, its getting...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    That success rate is across the board guided and non. The numbers of guided in the area I have no idea of success rate historically but I'd have to think its 70+ to bump up the non-guided numbers. That 4 out of 22 this season is a disappointing number. Some expensive camping trips no doubt. From...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    Another sheep report: In a large portion of a unit that usually sees 50%+ success rates, 4 of 22 hunters (hunters split between 3 or 4 outfitters) killed rams. I know of a 5th ram that was killed in the area by a buddy so that would be 5 out of 24.

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    Why are we only using the last 5 years as evidence for anything in trends for populations? As far a as in field reports, was in the field 10 days and ewe to lamb ratio was 1:1+. Did not see a ewe without a lamb but saw several with twins. First time in the area so have nothing to compare to...

    Considering Switching to Full Synthetic Oil

    I only use Amsoil, change filter at 5k and add a quart. At the next 5k, or 10k total for that batch of oil, change oil and filter together. My truck is an '05 and that is what it has been since the engine was broke in.

    Tundra trekking poles - which feet?

    Small baskets. If using them as intended you shouldn't be breaking them.

    Offline maps for Unit 26

    Personally use OnX for all of AK. Never had issues and allows detailed views. Never had an issue other than I wish it was cheaper, but as much as I use it and it being better than the other mapping apps/software I don't mind it.

    FPS for modern Mechs

    There is a number of variables to this, you can't just get a hard number across the board. One has to take into account blade size, cutting diameter, number of blades, method of blade deployment, TAW, etc. IMHO an adult shooter shouldn't have any issues ever with blade deployment shooting adult...

    We need to start lobbying for point system reform

    Where in any of this discussion did I say or allude to being entitled to anything? Where did I say ALL resident hunters? Either your reading comprehension is off or my way of explaining the point I was trying to make wasn't very good. I've met and interacted with a lot of resident hunters in a...

    We need to start lobbying for point system reform

    This right here is the exact point I was trying to get to. Hunting is under attack in a lot of places, not just specifically CO but its probably the biggest issue at the moment. Money from outside of CO is being used to fund this stuff to misinform and persuade people who have no clue about game...

    We need to start lobbying for point system reform

    I've met plenty of them and it was not a blanket statement of all residents of western states. It was for the one's you hear and read remarks from who basically spit in the face of anyone who doesn't live in their but wants to hunt in said state that I'm referring to. Just making a point for the...

    We need to start lobbying for point system reform

    These discussions always remind me of that article by Fred Eichler about anti-hunting hunters. Residents of any state with the mind set "muh state owns muh wildlife, I'm entitled to every tag and unit, we don't need no non-resident hunters, etc" are the anti-hunting hunters. I'm not saying NR...

    Field Strip meals

    I tried the fajitas, chicken primavera, and tamales and was not a fan. I calculated most their meals nutrition facts and they seem to check out to what they claim. I'll still probably try a few of their other recipes but not until next winter spring when they have more stock and I have the time...

    Ultralight Tripod Options

    I haven't had any issues with mine that you've experienced but I also haven't used it but 3 or 4 days total so time will tell. I try my best to make sure it's not getting a bunch of grit in the legs by laying it down in dirt or sand as well as making sure the internal twist locks are fully...

    What time did you shoot your Alaskan Moose?

    We are in our spot from before sun up to after dark. We stay there all day, usually about midday take turns taking naps. May venture a short ways to glass a different area or different angle but stay close. Call/rake before light until about 10:30-11am then quiet down til about 3 or 4pm and...

    Food Menu

    After deep diving into the 'Gear Skeptic' spreadsheets and nutrition over the last month and a half I've got 5 different rations to rotate through on mountain hunts where weight is everything. Between the 5, they average 1.19 lbs (19 oz) and 2910 kcal per day. Allows me the calories to sustain...
