    Venison stuffed peppers

    Caribou chorizo stuffed peppers. I already have the caribou chorizo, so its about an instant meal. takes longer to thaw the meat tube than it does to cook.

    Processing in Anchorage?

    Not to my knowledge is there a DIY place in town. There is a need for one, but nobody is stepping up to make it happen. For good reason considering how horrific fishermen leave town each summer dumping their fish waste in neighborhood ditches, etc. I can imagine what a place would look like with...

    TV personalities poaching WY Elk.

    When these things get reported I like to search out additional reports to see the totality of the situation as there is too much "cut and paste" in on-line news today. Looked at another KY based news feed. Turns out one of them also confessed to poaching an antelope in 2013 which is probably why...

    Anybody actually weight their quarters?

    Now that I am and "old man" and half crippled it seems, Kevin has it right. Small pieces and enough equipment to create a variety of options to move heavy dense objects. Learn how to set up a "z-drag" system used in the rafting community to get stuck boats off rocks, etc. Small metal pulley...

    DIY Moose hunt suggestions

    Long tedious issue with numerous violations of game laws and general decency. Read this all the way to the end. Then you will have to start searching AK courtview and small market media outlets for more recent details.

    Starbucks Via alternative

    I like it too. The local natural food store started carrying the single serve packs along with the large jars. The single serve packs are a little small and I would need two in my camping mug. This brand is not as bitter as "normal" freeze dried brands. I have used the Trader Joes packs and...

    Recommendations for a fly fishing day trip out of anchorage

    I'm local, but don't know of any guides that would come into Anchorage and pick you up. I know they probably exist as I have ran into groups of sports in Mountain View Sports with a "wrangler" tooling up. I recommend any of the Cooper Landing drifting companies on the upper Kenai. Dollies and...

    Anyone done a Porcupine Herd drop hunt in Unit 25A in Sep

    While planning for the future apply for drawing hunts in 20A and 14B. Both are fly in only hunts, but are close to town so not overly $$$. Gets you into AK version of "mountain" caribou within the Nelchina herd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lead ammo - mild, polite rant

    This winter I took in a lecture at a local forum on the environment. The lecture was given by a UofAK co-op teacher from the bush. He presented in formation from published studies out of the states. Being a life long scientist and hunter a couple of the results shocked me. Here is a link to...

    Any love for the .358?

    I started using lighter short action rifles a few years ago due to an injured left arm. I've been shooting a 358 for two years now after finding a new stainless ruger hawkeye for cheap. It likes the 250 grain speer hot core bullets. I did find some 250 grain Woodleigh but have not made the time...

There also is a drawing hunt in Unit 20A DC827 which is the northern edge of the Nelchina caribou. Also open to both R and...

    Anyone done a Porcupine Herd drop hunt in Unit 25A in Sep

    One thing to keep in mind when thinking about the PCH on the southern side of the Brooks is that this area is part of their winter range. The seasonal use of any portion of their range varies year to year. It might be best to go into an area of 25A where CA and PC herds might be mingling...

    Pre cooking bacon?

    I have never experienced mushy bacon that started out crispy. I tend to get my bacon to a brown state without any pink or red to it. All the fat is tan and brittle. Vacuum packing tends to shatter it into bits and smaller chunks. For me bacon that is cooked in an oven tends to render better...

    Best way to lock gun case for air travel?

    Use google to find factual information. TSA Transporting firearms in luggage - policies | Alaska Airlines Delta Padlocks are heavy? Good. It slow down the half a dozen dip sticks handling your case along its journey.

    AK Draw Results

    If I recall a drunken conversation from this last christmas, if nobody in the group drew a sheep tag, then we walk in to someplace in the Wrangles or the slope. Wish my buddy hadn't broken is plane to a point he can't afford to fix it. I need to get busy...but there is the potential for a group...

    DIY Moose hunt suggestions

    I will put out a name for you guys to call and talk to and research. Cole Hawkins with Hawk Mountain Air out of Birchwood, AK. I have met him at an SCI function and we had a good chat about what he was starting in 2014/15. He used to guide and fly exclusively for Revelation Mountain (I think)...

    Real outfitted AK drop camps, not just air service?

    Northwest Alaska Back Country Outfitters - About us This is the only drop camp gear provider I am aware of. However, due to the issues up there with the Feds and locals there may be other issues. The main reason why there are not many fully supplied camps for caribou is caribou move and...

    AK Dall sheep hunt areas

    Its hard country for a sheep. There are plenty of legal rams, but they don't get huge or very old. There are quite a few harvested with severe horn damage. Not just broomed off tips, but smashed way up high, probably from a fall. There is a lot of pressure from the locals and guides since it is...
