    Grizzly Success

    That’s awesome nick! That would be a great day with the wife for sure! These both come off one of your baits? Hair looks fantastic on both of them.

    Fixing an air pad

    I would say that’s the sure fire fix! Get a new one. But heck, try to fit this one just for kicks and see if it works.

    Free standing mountain tent suggestions

    I’d look at Kuiu before I looked at another hilleberg. I’m done waking up wet.

    New Lathrop & Sons Mountain Hunter & Mountain Hunter Elite Boots

    I wore a EE width and contacted the lathrop boys. They took a size half size bigger and molded the elite hunter boot to fit my foot. So far so good. Still in the break in process but I like the boots. They fit more like a glove and my old meindel Alaskans fit more like a mitten that I was...

    pop up blinds and bears over bait

    I do all my baiting with a pop up ground blind. Take it down when I leave. Six grizz and a black bear later I see no reason to change. I will add I sit at about a hundred yards.

    I guess when I think about it now, climbing up I’ve never noticed a difference either. Stepping off a airplane I have noticed. Maybe the hike up helps to wclimate.

    I live almost at sea level and can tell a big difference in a 4000’ jump. It’s not headache nose bleed high but if you live near sea level it is harder to get your breath. I suppose everyone’s lungs aclimate different though.

    Not anymore. They died off a handful of years back cause they are stupid and wouldn’t come down the mountian in the winter. I did meet an old timer once who remembered seeing one before they were gone though. But I figure if you can handle Kodiaks mountians and weather.....Sheep will be a joke lol

    Sheep vs moose

    It’s all expensive. It’s all got pressure. But then again it’s all how you describe expensive and pressure. But as this thread dictates different adventures are preference. I had a Sheep client once shoot a 40” ram. He saw a super cub land on a ridge for a couple hours then leave. He told...

    Alaska spring grizzly

    That’s a cabelas scout three man tent. Really like it. Only one flaw is the tent fly opens over the tent door so if both are open stuff drips right into the tent floor from outside. The Stephenson warmlite tent should be here in August.

    Sheep vs moose

    I’m with snyd. For me a successful (killing) Sheep hunt is more enjoyable than a successful (killing) moose hunt. On the same hand, a non killing trip of either specie, Sheep is still more enjoyable. Any trip into the mountains is better than a trip into the brush!
