    Back to the Henrys

    I know this is a deer hunt thread, and thanks for the excellent pics--can't wait to see how your wife's hunt goes! But as a bison nerd, I just have to point out just how nice this bull is. Like, EXTREMELY nice. He's easily a +125" bull, and in my opinion is the equivalent of a +200" nontypical...

    The G.O.A.T of upland

    Congrats! I love chasing whitetails, but it's a fair bit easier to do up here in AK!

    Toe Numbness

    I sometimes have that issue if I over tighten the top of my boots. Something gets compressed in my lower calf above my ankle that makes my toes go numb after a while if it's too tight

    TROY SESSIONS TELLS ALL_ Rafts_Game bags_ exposing the truth..

    This reads so much like something you had your attorney help draft/proof. As an attorney, that might be the funniest thing I've ever seen in my career thus far.

    As a Zpacks fanboy I'll probably buy that and love it despite the $739 price tag

    Thoughts on open sights for moose hunt?

    It's easy to get close to moose. I wouldn't worry about the open sights being a limiting factor on the hunt

    TROY SESSIONS TELLS ALL_ Rafts_Game bags_ exposing the truth..

    For frucks sake, it hasn't been THAT rainy of a moose season up here in Alaska this year. You'd think a fella selling 60 inchers would have something better to do with his time in September...

    Ruffed grouse

    Alaska ruffed grouse are white meat too. No clue what z987k is talking about.

    ALASKA WEST AIR DROP MOOSE HUNT

    I hunted caribou with them in a fly out back in 2006. Absolutely would not recommend. Got told many things that ended up false, but the biggest was that we'd be in unit 19 and not hunting the Mulchatna herd but then we were dropped off in 17B hunting the fringe of the remnants of the Mulchatna...

    Inreach/zoleo talk to each other

    I've done it. As long as the Garmin starts the conversation it works as normal.

    What's wrong with more grizzlies in Idaho?

    How much grizzly and brown bear in person experience do you have up here in Alaska? Based on this I'm gonna guess little to none.

    Braggin Board for Fishing!

    Took the family out on a last minute boat rental in Prince William Sound a week ago to look for some rockfish and try to hunt down a ling. No luck on the ling, but we caught a bunch of nice yelloweye. We couldn't get away from the yelloweye, even as shallow as 40'. Had to put back a few others...

    Choosing a Dog

    I'll give you that versus GSPs and viszlas, but I've never seen a setter with a better off switch than the average griff.

    Off season for the dogs

    There are certain gnats in the early season up here that eat my girls' bellies alive and leave bumps like that which then turn into little puss filled pustules.

    Ptarmigan in Alaska

    It happens from time to time, but pretty much always they are a good distance out and never have given us any issues. Early season in August and beginning of September the bears are down along the salmon streams and there aren't really ptarmigan in that zone. More to mid September as bears...

    Ptarmigan in Alaska

    Your plan is extremely doable. My best advice to you is to research the habitat and elevation preferences for each species in the regions you're planning to be in. Usually, if you haven't found ptarmigan, you're not high enough in elevation yet. That time of year, willows will be at the lowest...
