AK Sheep, Population Observations

Most of us get along very well. But there are different factions. We are all trying to get our cake and eat it too. Each generation wishes to live in the generation in the past. We are way more comfortable than what the hunters of the past had to endure but many of them had three weeks to get it...

There are a lot of scruffy trappers that run in the south wrangells. I wonder if there is something to that.

Thunder. I was one of the guys you were laughing at about the problem with Eagles. Sure you might think from your office that you know exactly what is going on in the cycle of the sheep population. I really don't get a lot of information from many bios who are much more pressed to make analysis...

People used to read and talk more. It is pretty hard to find mentors these days. What I mean by this is that you used to develop a close friendship with a group of fellow hunters who carried a lot of collective knowledge. You listened to them when you were young and sometimes when money wasn't...

Birdhunter. You will be fine. We are talking about larger population trends. You seem to be a person who did the research to find a guide that has an extensive knowledge of their hunting area. The best guides are successful because they really, truly are super professionals and they will find a...

One of the Best. And I mean the very best sheep hunters in Alaska shot his first sheep(38 incher) road hunting for moose on the way from his homestead to the Chitina Bar. He is about your age. He took a 45 incher last year- it took him 25 days to get it done. Anything is possible. But if you...

1)You got to make sure that we aren't talking about shooting somebody's lost domestic sheep. 2)One of my favorite J.R.R. Tolkien quotes comes out here. Gandalf impersonating William, who is one of the cave trolls says.'The night's gettin' on, and dawn comes early. Let's get on with it!' 'Dawn...

What he didn't say is that you have to be a local resident of a subsistence community near one of the National Parks to enjoy those 1 day dingers. Regular joes have to perform a Christmas miracle to find a ram that is any where near legal. I think that the perfect example is Coke Wallace who is...

Mark. I appreciate your efforts. When ravens learned how to kill chickens in Kenai the F and G worked to kill the Ravens who learned this overly effective predatory behavior. The predatory pairs in the areas that I mentioned could be culled new eagles would take 10-15 years to learn to be as...

$250 dollar bounty paid by the state for each wolf shot. $50 per coyote. Golden Eagle populations need to be studied and cropped a bit by predator control. There are some areas where hunting pairs of Golden Eagles have gotten too good at cropping ewes and lambs. They force bands of sheep into...

Lever gun caliber

The 348-450 Ackley improved is more than 10% over 450 Alaskan. It shoots a .458 caliber round. I bought this used. Probably done up in the early 70s or late 60s. I found dies for it 2 weeks after I purchased it. A Christmas miracle in June. It has that name because Ackley already had a 450...

Lever gun caliber

1956 Winchester model 71 with a side mount scope in 348-450 Ackley Improved. It shoots the middle cartridge between the 45-70 and the 458 Win Mag. It actually has ballistics a bit better than the 458 Win. I have an archery permit for moose this year but I would love to go moose hunting with this...

About 90-95% of the performance but with the 85MM razor that actually beats an ats 80.

Get it and find a swaro eyepiece. You wind up with an ATS 85 for a great price.
