    2023 Haul Road Caribou Hunt

    I suspected as much. Have done that hunt twice flying in and floating out and it is such a great trip! 5 miles of tundra each direction seems like a form of punishment…

    My People... Looking for Employment

    Go hunt! You have three weeks to lay groundwork for your new employment opportunity. Make good use of that time and you should have something lined up in this job market. You should be readily able to outcompete much of the poor protoplasm that we sift through to find decent employees since...

    Kodiak Deer limit change

    Certainly shouldn’t impact the folks that are adding a BT tag onto a bear, goat, or caribou trip. However, I would think that few if any NR would make that trip for only one BT tag even if fishing as well…. Thinking that it will even be tough to entice a NR buddy to join in on a Kodiak trip...

    Ideas for staying awake while driving solo

    Sleep from 7p til MN then leave at MN or 1a. You will be fewer hours driving in the dark which are your most challenging driving. Caffeine of your choosing spread throughout travel time. Provigil which is nectar of the gods if you do shift work!!! Pull over & rest if you are compromised, arrive...

    Do you shoot factory or load your own ammo?

    I use Choice for custom ammo. Would not foresee myself enjoying the tinkering aspect, and really don’t wish to commit the time to become proficient. Similar thought process when I chose boating over flying…

    Moving to Alaska

    Yes, you cross into Canada when you exit Haines. I have made the Fairbanks to Haines trip twice to pick up boats that came up on the ferry. Both times the crossing at all border’s involved was very low key considering I had large shrink wrapped boats in tow. YMMV…

    Rifle suggestion

    The easy button is the Tikka. Ammunition is usually easy to obtain for the 6.5. Everybody has a 6.5 though… I would go with the Weatherby 280 AI if it fits you well. You don’t have to reload to shoot the 280 AI. My Mountain Ascent really likes Choice Ammunition 162gr ELDx, and it is easy...
