    Drying out clothes & boots on remote hunts?

    This, pull those insoles and wipe em off the best you can, then sleep with em. The rest of the boot is gonna suck for a bit, but once you get moving it all works out. Also, I just screwed up this last trip and didn't loosen my boot laces up when i went to bed. Next morning I stuffed insoles...

    My son's 2023 caribou and Kodiak Goat!

    I appreciate that. I come to Rokslide for the stories and pictures, so I try to post up the same when I get lucky enough to fill tags.

    My son's 2023 caribou and Kodiak Goat!

    It is definitely a good deal on Alaska's part. They do make them have hunters' education in order to fill your draw tags, they don't need to do that to fill your regular harvest tickets though. I'd have to look again, but I don't even think they have to be blood related to fill your draw tag, I...

    My son's 2023 caribou and Kodiak Goat!

    Thanks guys! I've shot a bunch of caribou so that one was easy to let him fill. If this was my first shot at a goat I'd of probably grasped that tag pretty tight, lol. Who knows what will happen to him in life: work, school, moving out of state? I figured it was his best chance at a shot for...

    My son's 2023 caribou and Kodiak Goat!

    After a few hours and some more layers of clothing, one goat wandered away from the rest and came down slightly, then laid down by itself broadside to us. There was no wind, and the top of the ridge juuuust above us was completely flat. I have a .300 win mag and hot loads that we have taken...

    My son's 2023 caribou and Kodiak Goat!

    One last push through the suck and we popped up on the ridge to flat land where we would camp. I was still catching my breath and excited to rip my pack off when my bro pointed and whispered, “Is that a deer?!” We all looked and it was! Just standing there staring at us at 160yds. After some...

    My son's 2023 caribou and Kodiak Goat!

    My son turned 12 years old last December and was wanting to take the next step hunting with Dad. He was tired of seeing big game animals die and not being the one who pulled the trigger. So he took some action and managed to get his hunters education certification completed and under his belt...

    270 win 130gr GMX for Moose

    Don't shoot moose in the front shoulder, its a giant waste of meat. Pop lungs and down they go. It may take a few more seconds, just keep quiet and still. I have seen a lot of moose die, 99.99% of the time after that initial lung pop, they may walk or run a few seconds, then stop and stare...

    Who is moose hunting 2023?

    Wish I would have guessed first. I wanted to say 75" but it sounded ridiculous coming out of my mind! Lol! True monster right there. Chase something else from now on, you won't beat that.

    Who is moose hunting 2023?

    I took this 66"er right at the last few minutes of light on the last day I could hunt up in interior Alaska. Got him all cut up and in the freezer, was able to let him hang for six days and so far all of the meat we have tasted has been pretty tender!

    Moose hit hard by snow n bears

    Do you trap wolves? do you go out of your way to hunt bears? Five years ago we made it a point after seeing copious amounts of bears and wolves and a dwindling moose population we decided to declare war on predators. We would drop the middle of a moose stalk to chase bears or wolves we spotted...

    2023 Alaska Moose Hunt Success

    Spent 18 days in the field this year. We got three bulls at camp, including a 14 year old young man his first bull moose! I didn't get mine until the absolute last evening I could hunt before I had to head back home. Saw the flash of some antlers way out, over a mile away and let out a loud...
