    Ft Rich archery moose hunt

    Went out Saturday, it was deathly quiet and overcast but a tad warm. I was up in the high country where it's more open and did not see a single moose, not even a cow. No response to brush thrashing/scraping, did not try calling as I think it's still a bit early. I did manage to see 4 sheep and a...

    Ft Rich archery moose hunt

    Figured I'd start a thread and post day by day results of my archery hunt for bulls on Ft Rich, this is the 2nd time I've drawn this tag and ended up eating the tag on the first one. I'm hoping to score on a nice bull for my first archery moose but won't pass on the first to show his mug. I'm...

    Delta CUA x2

    Oops, I just saw that right before you replied. TFF. That hunt in the Gerstle was one of the crazier hunts I've been on. We rode as far as we could on wheelers, set up base camp, hiked 5 miles or so and came across some rams up high. We started after them then the fog moved in, somehow my...

    Delta CUA x2

    The DCUA is a huge area and there are some good spots that are accessible by wheeler, then on foot. I asked him that question because I had a buddy go in solo up one of the creeks where I moose hunt and he shot his first ram and was wearing all KUIU gear. He couldn't stop talking about it...

    whats that "ONE" hunt for you

    Mine is the Ft Rich archery any bull moose tag, starts Sept 5th and goes through November but the last 2 1/2 weeks of September are the heart of the rut and when hunting is the most fun. This is one of my favorite hunts in Alaska and only the 2nd time I've drawn it, I'm headed out this coming...

    How Old Where You When You Got Your Sheep?

    Took my first dall ram in the Brooks at 36 and took the next 2 in the DCUA at 50 and 52 respectively. Haven't chased sheep since the last one I took but might go out after one this year if time allows.

    Laminate your harvest ticket after you fill it and put it in your photo album with a picture of your bull.

    42 days and heading to AK

    We leave next Thursday for moose camp near Delta Junction, i'll be helping my buddy to try and get his first bull moose, he shot a nice fat cow on Ft Rich last year with his bow. I won't be pursuing any moose unless it's a really big one since I drew a Ft Rich moose any bull tag (archery also)...

    I'm booking a DIY Alaskan Moose Hunt

    I've got the original version of the Wyoming Saw and it's a little over 11" long and I scrape my knuckles anytime I use this saw to cut off moose antlers. I'd look for something a lot bigger like the Wyoming II, it's just a bit over 18" and would be perfect for this chore. Matter of fact, I...

    Hippers, Waders...which ones?

    I've used the Lacrosse Big Chiefs for years and never had an issue with them. There's no way I could hunt in chest waders as much as I sweat.

    I'm booking a DIY Alaskan Moose Hunt

    You'll need to get yourself into the best shape of your life and train packing heavy loads up to 125-140 lbs. Moose quarters are big and bulky and you'll need a solid frame to pack them. Good game bags are a must so don't skimp on them, Larry B's TAG Bags are awesome for keeping your meat dry...

    I'm booking a DIY Alaskan Moose Hunt

    I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer or anything but filling 3 moose tags will take a fair amount of work. Walking up on a full grown dead bull moose will leave you speechless. I remember when I killed my first bull, walking up to him and thinking to myself, what in the hell did I just do...

    2016 moose hunt

    I have to agree, the antlers in those 2 pics are not the same set, but I love the palmation of the brows on the set in the boat. There's also a bow setting next to the antlers in the boat so maybe he killed it with a bow?

    2016 moose hunt

    This was probably my second shortest hunt since I started hunting moose back in 1989. I found this bull Monday evening, the 5th and put him down Tuesday morning. Saw a huge blonde grizz with chocolate legs but it was too far and too late in the day for a stalk. Seen lots of bulls this year and...

    Field judging moose

    I've found that the best way to learn how to judge bull moose is to get out there and look over as many as possible. Hunting an area that requires 50" or 4 brows makes things tough but I have learned how to judge bulls and can usually get within a couple of inches when field judging them. Sent...
