    2021 DIY Moose Hunt, Round 2

    Great write up and pics, always impresses me when I see the aftermath of a bear who is hiding gut piles.

    My love/Hate relationship with the SxS

    6 wheeler SxS do pretty dang well up here, get you across the swamps deep into the back country. I don't have one but have wished for one a few times watching my buddy cross water too deep and fast for a four wheeler i was riding to traverse. I don't think I would have one simply for running...

    Fat loss suggestions

    I have been on a weight rollercoaster for the past 15 years. On the last journey my diet and exercise plan were on point, then I reached the dreaded plateau just like you have, couldn't shake the scale lower. I tried swimming and it worked. My body was used to the cardio/lift plan I had...

    bivy for drop camp tundra moose hunt?

    Reach down and grab up a section of tundra and rip it up. There will almost guaranteed be a spider or 10 on the ground under it.

    Severe Tendonitis anyone??

    I use one of these straps, it helps. Really great when I have to use my elbow while working, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do some things. I also wear it at night, as I was getting sick of waking up with an outstretched arm, and it being so stiff and sore I had to use my other arm to slowly...

    Strong game taste in Elk

    I've eaten a few ungulates now that died some pretty horrible and slow deaths. Hang the meat for at least 4 days, a week is better if temp allows, and they all tasted just fine. IF stress was a cause for poor tasting meat, a few animals I've quite enjoyed after hanging would be inedible by...

    Post hunt etiquette: Splitting/sharing meat

    IT depends on what we are hunting. Moose camp we all have our own gear/tents/wheelers, you shoot a moose its yours to keep or split as you wish. I have gladly helped yank moose out of the woods and expected nothing more than a hand if I were able to connect on one. If I ever manage to finally...

    Loaning out equipment.

    I don't loan crap to people unless I am certain they fall into the 'I break it, I buy it' camp.

    What knives do you carry on your hunt?

    I have been carrying a Havalon and a Cutco Double D hunting knife for quite a few years now, but the last few animals I have broken down I found I never even touched the Cutco. I just asked for the Havalon Dual Blade folder for Christmas this year :), hoping Santa drops that in the ol' stocking...

    Alaskan Moose hunt vs Canada Moose Hunt & guide recommendations

    Put in for some moose draws in Alaska off the road system. If you win, spend $800 on the tag, fly up and point towards some woods off some road in your draw area from your rental car. I've shot 9 moose in the past 11 years all within ear shot of a road. You can shoot black bears with your...

    chimney cap install kifaru 8 man

    The one time I used a spark arrestor, I woke up at 2 am to my wife shaking me and saying it smelled like smoke. When I turned my headlamp on I was shocked at how much smoke was in there! I went outside and knocked the spark arrestor cap thing off and aired the tent out. Great fun at -10...

    Reality of horse back moose hunt

    Sounds like you were in primo hunting weather/time. Don't know, maybe you did have a shitty guide. That time frame I'd of been calling off and on all day.

    Some of us are moving into winter mode, we like long stories, so don't feel compelled to 'make a long story short' next time!

    Reality of horse back moose hunt

    Sometimes that's moose hunting man, if it was early season, calling may not of made that much of a difference. Don't see why the horse part of the equation would have bummed you out, you would have loved them if you shot one. Its been my observation in the early season, especially when its...

    Awesome story man! I like the pic heavy ones. Can't believe the coyote went after the hind instead of a pile of fresh guts?!

    Texas fng

    Pretty area! I visited a navy buddy in Georgetown and spent some time in Austin and the surrounding places. Jumped off the rocks at Blue Hole, then this Alaskan boy saw a water snake, they said I almost levitated out of that water in my rush to get back out! lol. Welcome to the forum.
