    travel route from Maine into New Brunswick?

    I doubt there's a preference, however I think crossing at Calais/St. Stephen would be less driving for you. The airline (Rt.9) is a great road and a quick trip from Bangor. I used to cross the border there all the time back in my Calais high school days in the early 90's. That was before you...

    $15,000 Reward for Missing Haul Road Hunter Steve Keel - OP updated to show locations

    Maybe it was the little people (Inukins, Ircenrraat, Sungcuk). I know a Native guy from Noatak that is a believer and claims to have seen one. Who knows? Little People

    Sometimes it's better to be lucky..

    ...than good! Went for a boat ride yesterday, not expecting to see much. Planned on hunting three days next week then hunting the last week of the month. About 11am I decided to head home to get some stuff done around the house. This little bull was just walking up the gravel bar a couple...

    Thanks for the info on those. Hopefully the selection improves locally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    200gr Terminal Ascent out of Tikka 1-11 twist

    Never tried those, but not reloading and living in AK makes for a challenge to get ammo. Shipping is a real hassle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    200gr Terminal Ascent out of Tikka 1-11 twist

    Well it definitely doesn’t like that bullet. The 180gr TBT shoots sub-MOA out of the gun. Maybe I’ll try something else and see what happens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    200gr Terminal Ascent out of Tikka 1-11 twist

    Yeah, keyholes and a 3” group at 100yds will keep me from going over 180grs with it from now on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    200gr Terminal Ascent out of Tikka 1-11 twist

    Well I guess I answered my own question. In a gun that shoots sun-moa with 180gr TBT, the 200gr Ascents are a definite no go. Three shots at 100yds confirmed that in a hurry! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    200gr Terminal Ascent out of Tikka 1-11 twist

    I've read that with tipped bullets using the JBM calculator is more reliable. Based on my measurements and rough data (without chrono #s), it's on the low end of green stability according to JBM. I'll just have to shoot and see.

    Quitting Alcohol

    After a trip to Hawaii this winter I decided I needed some time off from the bottle. It had become a habit to have a few drinks every night, or on my days off when doing stuff around my garage. I need to lose a bunch of weight and get in shape as well. So, I just stopped altogether 2 months...

    200gr Terminal Ascent out of Tikka 1-11 twist

    I agree that it's waaay to easy to overanalyze while sitting behind a screen. I'm going to give them a shot, regardless. Was just seeing if anyone had tried them out with the same gun.

    Loaded ammo as I don't reload.

    200gr Terminal Ascent out of Tikka 1-11 twist

    I'd be interested if you are in Alaska, otherwise the shipping is a nightmare getting ammo here.

    200gr Terminal Ascent out of Tikka 1-11 twist

    I don't reload and my go to 180gr Trophy bonded tips are currently unobtanium. Picked up a couple of boxes of the Terminal Ascent to see how they shoot. Anybody try them out of their 1-11" twist Tikka .300wm?

    What Fish Would You And The Kids Want To Catch?

    Kids want to catch whatever they can catch a lot of. That's one of the reasons why my boys enjoy going back to Maine in the summer to visit. Get into schools of white perch and catch fish all day. Much more fun for them then backtrolling for Kings for hours.

    Planning Family Alaska Trip

    Your timing would be perfect for South first, then North later. Sockeye will be slow, halibut should be good. Up North (Tangle Lakes) the ice will be just going out around the 3rd week of June. Best time for fishing up there! Parks highway streams will all have rainbows.

    Planning Family Alaska Trip

    Homer is a great place to go for a halibut charter. Things to do around town as well. Seward is nice, long run for fish though, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if the weather is good. The Sealife Center is there also, which would be good for the little ones. You could stay in Sodotna...

    Wood for smoking?

    Mesquite for beef, fruitwoods for pork and chicken, and alder for fish (I don't mind it for beef either, like they use at Glacier Brewhouse in Anchorage). Wait for deals at Lowes or Ace and load up. My buddy bought a pallet of mesquite logs at Lowes for next to nothing once. I cut up a few...

    Alaska draw result personal information?

    No different than the DMV giving up your info. Ever wonder why you get calls about your cars extended warranty? I don't like it, but somehow they can do it.
