    Packing for Super Cub

    Contractor bags are the ticket! That's what I use and my pilot loves me for it!

    Kifaru Gun Bearer Question

    I put the butt holder on my waist belt right side and the barrel strap on my right shoulder harness. This traps the gun under my right arm. It does not contact my pack.

    Unprepared partner

    Can you do it without him? If so, give him an easy out now and avoid the drama. If you can't do it without him chalk it up to experience and make the best of it.

    Down confusion

    I took a synthetic quilt to the Brooks on a sheep hunt in 2019 and was DAMNED GLAD to have it. More than once I climbed into it soaking wet to dry my clothes as there was no other significant source of heat and I was packed light without spare clothes. Even if I'd had a bunch of spare clothes...

    WTS Thompson Encore set: .338 Win Mag rifle, .308 pistol

    I originally bought this as a .308 hunting pistol for South Texas deer. Killed several and enjoyed the short barrel in thick brush. Also handy as a jeep gun hunting senderos. Added the .338 Winchester Magnum barrel for nilgai hunting. Then carried the gun to Alaska on successful drop hunts for...

    Is Bear Spray Bear Spray?

    I tried UDAP Pepper Power Bear Deterrent in preparation for a trip where firearms were going to be a hassle. It was a total joke in my opinion. Very limited range and if the bear doesn't come in directly downwind you're only adding some spice to his meal. Choked me when deployed in a slight...

    T-minus 7 days and counting and I will be a sheephunter!

    Live in the moment-like the very second. Don't worry about the afternoon ahead, when you're going to eat or drink next, or what the weather might be tomorrow. Give luck a chance by staying in the game with your chin up.

    Waiting on hunting partners....

    PS: a guy that is unreliable this year won't be reliable next year. I got burned by my big brother twice on another dream of towing our boat over and fishing the Everglades. He bailed the week of the trip once, then about 10 days before departure the second time. We were very close and he...

    Waiting on hunting partners....

    KEEP LOOKING UNTIL YOU FIND THE RIGHT PARTNER AND DO IT! I DID AND AM SO HAPPY FOR IT! I wanted to do this since I was a little boy. When I was about 36 I met a guy that had done it and learned enough from him to start down the "drop hunt" path for moose. I went for my 40th birthday with a...

    Alaska hunting areas 23 and 26a possibly closed for 2021 non residents

    Typo above. It should be [email protected] Load 'em up boys and girls! This is outright theft of a public resource.

    14A/14B transporter

    Cole Hawkins, Hawk Air Alaska, flies up there. He has put me out on two drop hunts and I highly recommend him. Tell him Hunter said hello.

    40 mile air or Tok air service?

    My experience is that you cannot get a spot with 40 Mile as a new hunter. They book up with repeat clients. We tried every trick known to reserve a spot, including sending money and signed contracts before they opened bookings. We did not get a spot.

    Hawk mountain air Anchorage

    I have done two drop hunts with him and will almost certainly be riding with him again in '22. First class guy. Great pilot. Straight shooter, very straight. He won't let you put words in his mouth or talk him into something so be straight with him in your expectations and take him at his...

    What piece of gear do you wish existed?

    What piece of gear do you wish existed?

    I agree for Arizona. I was thinking for Alaska trips where I am guaranteed heavy rain for several days in a week. Right now I carry a heavy duty rubber bag strapped to my pack frame. It's heavy and cumbersome. A light waterproof bag that attaches to my frame is what I need. I thought...
