Tips for shooting light weight rifles

Most has been mentioned already, and I'm hesitant to even mention this for safety. But, for me, running a light trigger, made a huge improvement in my accuracy with a lightweight mountain rifle. I also only chamber when ready to fire, and exercise extraordinary care knowing that the rifle...

The UV Aquaseal is also great to have, it dries in sunlight and provides "quick" repairs and then recoat with regular Aquaseal for long term use. Used this many times to save the night for folks that let embers burn their air mats...

Liner Socks...?

IMHO, these are in a class by themselves. My Sheep partner got me to try them, and I will not mountain hunt without them. I had used liners on and off before too, but these work so much better. I think because with them between the toes, they stay put better.

Sheep hunting partner etiquette

For sure,, we have passed on more than we have taken. Out of the 3 above, one was killed on the pack back to the plane, one forced the issue at the strip and the other was just too pretty for my Buddy to resist. I have found for me,,, the best way not to get distracted on a sheep hunt, is to...

Sheep hunting partner etiquette

Pretty much do the same as YK,, the key being it is discussed and agreed upon "BEFORE" the hunt. Have seen hurt feelings, so clear concise agreement never hurts.

Missing firearm?

I would ask him for a "like item",, that way he can source. He can buy one from gunbroker and make it as right as can be done at this point.

Moose Hunt - Fishing Help needed

For Grayling, pack some Crisco, easier to deal with on trips as it will not leak. Breading of choice, either pack some or crush crackers or chips or use a combo of all of it. Pan fry in the melted Crisco. :)

Tundra/walking river edges

I would take this advice. Also, those cheap kids snow sleds work great. Easier to drag loads than hump across that stuff. LB has that stuff dialed in.

I would not do that...... The Sag runs fast and has killed folks. Have to cross the Sag to reach the Ivishak.

Flying with Suppressor to Hunt?

It is considered a firearm, in a locked case in the hold, no carry on. Take a photo of your stamp and keep it on your phone as a backup.

Alaska Dall - Backpack Hunt: What Clothing?

I hunt the North side of the Brooks quite a bit. Not a fan of a softshell on sheep hunts. The only clothes I bring that I don't wear, is a spare set of midweight fleece top and bottom underwear and 2 pairs of socks. The extra fleece and a pair of socks are for sleeping and as a spare if I get...
