I’ll be there.
I built a “Memorial Rifle” dedicated to a couple local sheep hunters from Fairbanks and North Pole who passed away while out sheep hunting last September. Friends and family asked me to build rifle. About 6 folks involved with the project locally, I know one is a Rokslide...
Only option is to Cerakote then re-bed action and barrel channel.
How often really do folks use warranty? I own 300+ guns and only used a “volunteer” recall on two different rifles with barrel issues that the factory said had issues grouping.
With regard to your specific deal with Barrett...
What tag number did you draw? I drew DS138. Upper Eagle River, Upper Ship Creek. My tag is late rifle. 4-17 Sep. I plan to be in there 2 Sep-20 Sep.
I know a bit about the area but would need to know your tag number and season dates before I could give you advice.
Swarovski 65mm spotter in either the ATX/STX or the ATS/STS line.
Maven top end binos if wanting to get most bino for price. About 95 percent of the top end EL Swarovski’s. I use them as my backup set. My primary is the EL Swarovski. But would have no hesitation on using the Mavens as my...
Since my first Dall sheep hunt in 2001, I’ve been blessed to have never missed a season since and I’ve personally taken 13 rams and have been using a VariX3, VX3 or a V3i in 2.5-8 x36 powered scopes in various caliber and model rifles. Rifle scope choice has always stayed relatively the same...
Some of the very best advice from
arguably one of the smartest North America Thin Horn sheep guides still living. Without question a legend in the sheep hunting world.
Joe Want has been involved in the Alaska sheep hunting community for 40+ years. Listen to him because those of us who are...
I personally guide for Aaron’s operation. He hired me because of my first hand knowledge of his area of his concession. I’ve been hunting Dalls on my own since 2000 and am at 41 successful hunts I’ve guided for or have taken myself (13 personally total)
I can attest to the remoteness of Aaron’s...
Questions to ask prospective outfitters in Alaska:
-Are they on a Federal Concession
-Success rates
-Violations of AK state law convicted of recently/overall
-Actual Hunt days as compared to total hunt day amounts (how many are travel days to and from)
-Percentage of the guides that they employ...
Double broomers are hard for me to pass on, especially if they are full curl.
But this year having been blessed and have drew a late season rifle permit for Alaska 14C Chugach; I’m going to have to change up my way of selection. Double broomers are tough to make book. Mass is the most...
Hunt the mid to late season of the hunt dates. Was in one of the few areas with easy ATV access and did not see a single person all week last year. Also a lot of rams that are unreachable/unrecoverable throughout the first 30 days come out of the dangerous stuff due to weather in this area...
A J Frane Smith and Wesson 340PD in 357 Mag. Stays on my Stone Glacier Hip belt in a black leather Black Hawk holster. I honestly don’t know it’s there.
I guide/sheep hunt/grizzly hunt with this set up for close to 50 days in the field yearly. It is my go to rig. I’m never going into the...
