    Tips and tricks for airline travel.

    I find the flights into the field way more challenging than commercial flights. I can usually make things work out alright, putting small heavy items in carry on helps. Having a good size 2 gun case is a big help for a party of 2 and put enough stuff in there to get it to 49lbs. Last time I...

    AK DIY moose advice

    Have you made any decisions yet? There are a ton of options that can range from 2-15k for transporter cost, most in the 7-10 range. I’d say it boils down to your goals. If it’s a one time deal and you're looking for high odds and high trophy potential that’s gonna be towards the highest. I...

    280 Remington enough for AK moose?

    Excellent choice! 160 - 175 grain bullet would be the ticket. The 280 and 280 AI have been from my experience the closest thing to the “Hammer of Thor”. Somehow they hit a sweet spot of diameter, bullet weight and just the perfect velocity for a bullet to do its job. Ive used 300 weatherby...

    Inflatable Raft options for Flying

    There are a lot of choices to consider and you’re not going to find a perfect option that covers every scenario. If you want maximum floatation in a hunting raft and have no plans of anything more than class 2 water, then non-bailing is the way to go (although it has some downsides) That being...

    Inflatable Raft options for Flying

    You will not find any rafts that check all those boxes, nothing will have that capacity and be below the weight you need for travel. There are couple of routes that would get close. I would recommend thinking about a main raft that meets your weight requirement, then having a second pack raft...

    Sitka blacktail meat vs moose

    2 different packages of moose steaks, I just have never seen a marbling like this in other game meat. The meat has been excellent, some of the best ever, then I hear claims of blacktail is better or equal. This bull had quite a layer of fat that I spent time trying to trim off as much as...

    Sitka blacktail meat vs moose

    Have been wondering how Sitka blacktail compares to moose? Or even dall sheep for that matter. Dall sheep is by far the best meat I’ve had followed by moose closely. I’ve heard that blacktail is excellent. Do blacktail usually have much fat or are they very lean? Is the fat good flavor or like...

    Moose Hunt Help

    You’re either doing some awfully top tier hunting in Alaska or some bottom of the barrel hunting in Newfoundland, sounds like. Unless comparing guided to guided, that’s extremely true.

    Gunwerks 6ix+, AB Raptor Eight Stack, CGS Hyperion K, Thunder Beast Dominus

    It’s is a 5/8x24, but it is a tapered configuration. It is recommended that if your barrel isn’t of that configuration that you run the adapter to properly seat it, I believe you don’t have to but it’s recommended. Since I was already using an adapter on a very thin barrel to get up to 5/8x24...

    Gunwerks 6ix+, AB Raptor Eight Stack, CGS Hyperion K, Thunder Beast Dominus

    I went with both the Hyperion K and the nomad Ti on my purchase. I only have limited experience at this point, shooting both on a kimber mountain ascent 280 AI. I wish I had gotten 2 nomad Ti s is my personal opinion, both “seem” equally as quiet, running the e-brake on the nomad seems the...

    Moose mount

    I had a moose mount done 12 years ago. $1200 by a very good taxidermist and turned out excellent! I checked with a few the other day, $3000-3500. I thought good grief that’s more than I paid to get flown in and out and get a moose out, lunacy!!!!!!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Moose mount

    Out of curiosity I priced a moose shoulder mount at a few taxidermist the other day. Holy smokes it was high!!! More than I paid for my moose hunt.

    Critique my build thought process - 700 Remington 300 WM - For Suppressor/ weight reduction

    Some of these ideas bounce through my mind as well. In my opinion, I wouldn’t go shorter than 20” but longer than 22” will probably give you the unwieldy feeling. Holy smokes a 20” and especially 18” barrel are going to extremely loud to you with out a suppressor. I will offer this, I did just...

    Transporter Moose Hunt Success Rates

    I would personally go into it figuring you have a 20-30% of getting a moose and then NOT multiply that number by how many hunters in camp. If 4 people want to hunt together and want better odds of filling tags then a caribou hunt would fit that equation way way better than a moose hunt. Learning...
