    300 WSM mono?

    I have killed lots of animals with a 300 wsm and 168 TTSX bullets at about 3100 fps (handloads 26" barrel) Worked well for everything. The 168 ttsx is slightly softer than the 165 ttsx more like a lrx before that became a thing. I would have no hesitation using a barnes bullet for your...

    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    Whose money are you worried about burning? I stated WSF, individuals, businesses with interest in sheep conservation can choose to spend their own $$ if the state would allow them do their own sheep improvements. How about the State Conduct a study to see what would help sheep? How about see...

    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    This is the fatalist approach I already addressed. Of course the weather is an issue that can't be changed! The proactive solution is to DO something to counter act the negative weather events. Some weather events could reduce a population below a viable number, where recovery is impossible-...

    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    Easy way to improve sheep habitat is Fire. More grasses and forbs grow after a fire and it kills the woody brush. That’s a super easy one if areas that could use a burn. Many outfitters in British Columbia run huge salt licks on their concessions. Lambing in these area have been observed to...

    Not a Stone or a Desert hunt. I live in AK so hunt Dall's every year. Need a Desert to finish the slam. I do love stone sheep though.....

    Bitcoin

    I bought a BTC last year near the bottom at about $20k for my first venture into crypto. Not sure on ultimate strategy, but think I will be tempted to sell when it hits $100k to fund a sheep hunt!

    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    I would be all for it. Ideal spot would be to take sheep from the National Parks that can't be hunted anyway. Other option that will never happen would be to raise a stocking herd like Sonora Mexico does for Desert BH that has been very successful. Part of the declining population problem...

    Estimating weights going IN vs coming Out - Afognak Elk Hunt

    I have never heard of an air taxi on Kodiak charging by the weight. It’s always been by the flight with the price per air time based on which airplane (beaver vs 185)

    Talkeetna caribou hunt 2024

    Have you tried finding another pilot? That’s close enough an Anchorage based operation can easily drop you off. Plenty of options there. Otherwise maybe a jet boat up the Talkeetna River 🤷🏻‍♂️

    What's the coolest thing you've done with a bear hide?

    I have a lot of tanned only hides as well. My kid uses them in his snow caves he builds and sleeps in

    Specific Haul Road Questions

    I would not worry too much about bugs that time of year. Usually they are much worse at the opener. I have had it snow 5" on Labor Day while hunting the haul road. Not cold enough to need a stove either if you have warm gear available. That said I have also killed a caribou wearing a T-shirt...

    Too bad he didn't leave you a collection of Bitcoins instead, then you really could have sold it for a Rolex :LOL:

    Sounds like a good deal, I don't think you can do much better than that unless you personally knew someone there 🤷‍♂️

    Specific Haul Road Questions

    Specifically what dates are you trying to hunt? (sounds like you are headed there now?) Sounds like you are a Non-Resident? The season is CLOSED for Non-Residents (Aug 1-Sept 15) Even if you are accompanied by a resident family member..... If you are a Resident then you would probably know...

    Mild Recoiling 7mm (preferably) Ideas

    To Clarify- Are you planning to re- barrel your current 7RM Tikka? If so you will either need to change the bolt face for a non-mag cartridge, or go with another magnum.... If you go a short action cartridge you may need to change the bolt stop and magazines to get proper feeding. this...
