    Black Bear Coopers Landing, Alaska Sept. 17-25

    My dad, 2 brothers and I are coming up to Alaska September 17-25. We rented a forest service cabin on Juneau Lake, north of Coopers Landing. We will be doing some fishing and at least two of us will have bear tags. We did a similar trip about 6 years ago to Upper Russian Lake so we are aware of...

    First Major Hunt Since Having Kids

    I know you said coastal Alaska but it sounds like you are open to suggestions. My dad has used a guide in Manitoba and has been trying to get me to go for years. They typically stand hunt over bait and that doesn't interest me but the guide also offers spot & stalk agriculture field hunts (bow...

    InReach Bluetooth Reliability

    I have had the same issues. I have a Delorme Explorer and I have to check the inReach to see if someone responded. It's very annoying.

    Fly Out Spring Bear

    How much weight do you put on harvesting an animal when considering if a trip was successful? Personally, I would do it but shooting an animal is such a small part of the experience that it doesn't weigh very heavily on the experience for me. Don't get me wrong, I hike to hunt. I prefer to go...

    Eddie Bauer Pro Guide - Colors

    First let me say that I am an EB fanboy. I hunt exclusively in Guide Pros or the Horizon Guide pants and for a puffy I either carry a MicroTherm, CirrusLite jacket or CirrusLite vest depending on the weather. All three together were cheaper than the Kuiu Super Down Pro I really wanted. I can...

    What tent to for cold weather backpack trips?

    Could you fit four guys with a stove if you had a 2nd tent for gear? My brother and I plan on sleeping in my SO Eolus and I was thinking of buying an Octopeak for my other brother and dad. If it got too cold, could we all pile in the Octopeak and put the gear in my Eolus? Do you have the Luxe...

    Idaho Spring Bear in <3weeks - Scope Meltdown

    I was at the range this past weekend doing a little shooting before my spring bear hunt and my groups were shifting around on the target. Long story short, the reticle is moving around inside the scope. You can see it rotating when you adjust the magnification. They are shipping out a new one...
