    Hauling meat inside pack vs outside

    I have no meat shelf I had a shelf years ago. Meat inside to me is much easier to contain and handle than a shelf. Clients that have used shelves seem to work ok, it does take more goofing around to get it loaded right than just dropping it inside the bag though.

    Pack Size Question - 12 day mountain to ocean hunt in BC

    There is no pack to big for trips like this. I use a Barney’s pack for all my long distance excursions. External frame, maybe not as popular with the trendy pack crowd but tested beyond what my body ever wants to do. Loads over 200lbs, dropped off cliffs, never tore ripped bent or broke. 20...

    How did you pick your pack?

    I went with a pack design that has remained pretty much unchanged for decades and guides in Alaska use the same pack for years and years. That’s a testimony to durability and functionality. I didn’t want a new style pack that was untested. I didn’t want a modular pack, I wanted a simple buckle...

    Mountain Goat Meat

    Canned goat I had was great. Anything ground was great. Anything steaked was a waste of time. I’m glad some guys are having success with that though. I never have.

    Kodiak Blacktail Hunt - maps

    Most of the island doesn’t have spruce. A lot doesn’t even have trees. If you find a good game trail just follow it, typically around streams there’s lots of trails. Hmmmm lol. l busting brush is a bad idea down there. Unless you enjoy being sweaty frustrated and pissed off all at the same time.

    Alaska Dall Sheep Horns by Mt Range

    I’ve seen wide flares of over 32” tip to tip on a handful of rams then. In the same valley tight narrow curls. I’ve never seen enough in the 20 years I’ve spent in the area I work to recognize a sheep from that area or not.

    I got crowberries, never tried to burn them though. You pull them up and burn the roots or what? Them lil buggers aren’t any bigger than cranberries.

    Solo Kodiak drop hunt

    I said I’ve never used a fence to protect me or my meat. I tried setting one up around some gear while I was gonna be in town once but a deer kept tearing it down and on the third try he ran off with the whole fence.
