    Can you text or call me on this listing? I have an FFL ready to accept this and I am good on price. My name is Steve. I have super slow internet so it's tough getting forum posts to pull up quick. My number is: 907-978-0161. Text is best but I will accept phone calls as well. Thanks

    300 ackley improved

    I shoot a couple 300 Ackleys and have the reloading dies from Redding. I also have chambered a dozen rifles for this particular cartridge. To get proper 300 Ackleys, the easiest is to fireform a downloaded/jammed 300 Wby ammo in a 300 Ackley chamber. I have a couple 3/4 MOA "fireform" loads...

    My 2024 Dall Pack LIst

    I read through this thread and never did see a question asked concerning what the guide will actually have at camp (the on the ground guy that will be guiding you personally in the field). All my clients I have given a detailed list of EVERYTHING that I would have at base camp/strip camp and of...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    In a sense they are dictating that by weighing all proposals and picking the one they feel (or how the current administration) fits best with the vision of that agencies use of land on a commercial side. These concession bids are very competitive

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    You are correct on all statements but the "number" that is in your particular concession is a number you as the outfitter comes up with. Prior to "winning" a federal concession...........When all concessions proposals are weighed by the federal land manager, and a winner is picked........that...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    Having a "sound business" decision is an opinion only as you have stated. You are correct about it may not be the best if my main goal is to make money with no regard for a quality product. But I will put quality/success well above my bottom line.......though I think the two will go hand in...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    It was one of my many many reasons to go to a trophy fee/opportunity-based pricing model. What incentives do these outfitters have to NOT oversell a product they 100 percent know they can't produce? They get paid whether they are successful or not. Why not sell everything that you can? Even...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    You don't see a value if I am not the owner of this concession? From your previous post words....."but think it is a stupid way to blow $30, 000 for any sheep"........ any of these pricing models you would not blow your money on either. Other AK outfitters are high $20's to low $40's...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    Thanks, Ivan, for your input. I was hoping you would comment. I really am trying to change the way sheep hunts are priced and viewed by the non-sheep hunting world. And.......I am.........maybe looking for those folks that are not able to afford these out-of-control rates but are prepared...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    Thats not what you posted. You said, planes, lodges, packers, assistant guides. You are correct those areas are on OTC nonresident federal concessions. I priced my hunts with the idea of my hunts not being a pristine limited resident pressure sole use concession. Plenty of state land operations...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    Ill agree to disagree. Ive been in this business for 20years in Alaska and what you have quoted is not even close to current pricing. The current outfitters I work for are $35-45K with nothing what you have described. No lodges, planes, packers etc.

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    No my mind is not made up. I appreciate your feedback and conversation as I am able to explain a little more with the scenarios you have laid out. I've actually gotten a lot of ideas on how and what i should do for this pricing guarantee through all of these different posts. What I can't...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    Sorry man, no clue what you are trying to say on your first paragraph. I have no issue "loosing" something if I can't produce results bottom line. My success rates over the last 24years of sheep hunting and guiding speak for themselves but that does not help the client when a legal ram on a...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    Well, I get what you are saying on the definition, but I do have to draw the line on a legal ram that is presented to the client. 400 yds was a number I feel all sheep hunters should be proficient at harvesting a ram at just as they should be physically and mentally fit. At the point a legal...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    I honestly have struggled with this and don't have an answer what i would do. Hopefully my lower hunter numbers will allow me to weed out any potential deadbeats that would give me issues on not paying what they owe contractually.

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    My current overall SUCCESFUL hunt price (potentially) is close to what you will pay for most Alaska Dall Sheep hunts on non-federal land concessioned hunts currently, whether you are successful or not on those other outfits. Of course, my prices will go up according to the market price in...
