Just finished hunting the Delta management area on the tag I drew. Overall it appears moose numbers are way down due to winterkill. Spent 8 nights, I saw two legal bulls and couldn't get a shot at either as they were out of range. I also saw two 40 inchers and about 10 cows. Came across 4...
Man, what a deal. If I already didn't own a pair of these I'd be all over them like white on rice! In my opinion these are the perfect size, magnification and clarity. Exceptional glass.
I don't know how that can be verified, but from my experience shooting a half dozen moose, and present when several others were taken by friends, I wouldn't go any less than a 270, and even that cartridge may be not enough gun in certain situations. I've heard that banter that "I know a guy that...
I'm not denying it, but where do those statistics come from? I grew up and live in interior Alaska and in all my life I personally know only one that shot a moose with a 243, and it was a cow shot on a youth hunt. From my experience I have heard of more moose taken with 30-06, and next by...
I have a very nice Leupold fixed 4x scope for sale. Only very light scratches from mounting. Gloss black, glass is in excellent condition,1 inch tube, duplex crosshairs, friction dials. I sent it in to Leupold a couple years ago and they cleaned and checked it and it performs flawlessly. Nice...
Leupold fixed 4x scope in excellent condition. Gloss black (no purple tint), glass is in excellent shape, a couple light scratches from mounting. Friction adjustment dials, 1" tube, duplex crosshairs. Objective measures about 34.5mm on the outside, so I assume the glass is 32mm.
$200 tyd, OBO.
I hunted the DCUA last year and did not see a legal ram. They told me that the success rate last year was the lowest in the past 8 years. Just talked to Delta F&G today and like Vern said, only two rams checked in there. They said aerial counts this year were way down.
I live in Fairbanks. If any of you guys are passing through and need a hand with something, give me a shout. I'll be in and out of town the 1st-15th 😀 but would be glad to lend a hand if needed.
In case your fall hunt this year requires access through or on military land in the Interior, this is good info to know. Click on the appropriate area to see what areas will be open/closed and dates.
Good hunting!

Nice! I've had a pair of these for several years and love them. Superb glass and fantastic compact size. I've never felt I've lost anything in stepping down from 8x42.
