    Thoughts on hunting waders for moose pros and cons of type?

    this year we got soaked and couldn't catch a break from rain to dry out clothes very often so I lived in my simms g4. Ended up packing out 2 bulls in them and I was very happy with the performance and my feet felt great. My other buddies that kept putting on wet boots and socks were not so...

    how much wind is too much?

    This may have been my biggest mistake, the first morning while it was still windy and snowing I decided to glass to see if they'd be up and I think I should have looked for tracks knowing that the wind would likely cover up all the sign.

    How much wind is too much wind?

    I feel like this is relevant to moose and I have a moose hunt next year so I figured I would throw this up in the moose section as well. I just got back from 4 days elk hunting, we got 5 inches of snow and had constant wind about 20 mph with gusts up to 40. We never saw an animal before coming...

    how much wind is too much?

    I just got back from 4 days elk hunting, we got 5 inches of snow and had constant wind about 20 mph with gusts up to 40. We never saw an animal before coming home. there are always exceptions but how much wind is too much for elk to want to move around? I've tagged out on this OTC unit for...

    hot tent stove pipe question

    This may sound ridiculous but what did you do to add the additional 1.5? Can you buy that type of metal from a hardware store? I'd like to add more clearance but don't want to buy an additional pipe. I'm a cheap sucker ha

    Sealskinz review…

    I primarily go with the weather mid length sock but on cold days I like the worsted knee length sock. I've had the same 3 pairs for 8 years and they have held up great. i only use them when hunting so I haven't put hundreds of days on them but probably around a hundred days.

    hot tent stove pipe question

    I got my stove when I bought the sawtooth 10 years ago and as my kids get bigger I decided to go with the seek outside 8 person tipi. The stove pipe does clear the top but I'm curious how much clearance is really needed out of the top of the tent. I assume the concern are the embers that come...

    Sealskinz review…

    Seal skins saved me big time on my second alaska trip. I wetted out my boots going hip deep in a beaver pond on day 1 and I was able to walk my boots dry and keep my feet dry with seal skins. I heard they were worth every ounce of weight and I have not done an alaska trip or snow trip without...

    Rain jacket: Stone Glacier vs Sitka

    I can't speak to the M5 specific but I just got back from alaska and I had the M7 and only took that and left my cloudburst at home. I wish I had brought my cloudburst and a pair of hiking pants. we were never in downpour rain just a steady rain for days in a row with a day of sunshine then...

    Average cost of a Moose hunt

    Door to door with a reputable outfitter would be very tough especially if you have to buy some additional gear. next year i'll be headed out on my 5th moose hunt, 4th in alaska. I did one in alberta and i've been able to keep them all just under 10K but the prices seem to have jumped a lot in...

    Exo Mountain Gear K4 Pack Review ***Updated 3/28/23***

    I've had the k4 for 2 years now and have not had any issue with packing out half an elk in one trip or anything lighter. I just got back from alaska where I was invited to help guide a few guys and do the grunt work. I ended up packing out all the hind quarters on 2 moose. One of the bulls...

    Stone Glacier M7 Set

    I just got back from 12 days in alaska on a moose hunt and really gave the set a try. I only brought this set and waders for my bottoms along with a kuiu base layer. I used the M7 jacket as well as other layers but this was my primary base layer. I've used the set in the past for late season...

    Louder calling for bigger bulls?

    Thanks for chiming in vern, I know you're a veteran in the moose world! do you tend to just always be louder when calling? I try to be loud and heavy when raking just to get the sound out there
