Lol… “best drainages” …
Here’s my advice.
Goats are all over mainland PWS. It shouldn’t take you long to find some if you put a little effort into glassing through a feeding cycle or two. The challenge becomes finding one in accessible terrain, being able to put a stalk on it, then being able...
To follow back up on this, I did get ahold of their Service guy after a couple days of trying. He said the cause was likely that some particles got stuck in alongside the extractor and the inner part of the bolt, and changed angle of it a bit which caused excessive wear and for the extractor...
NW Retention builds the Scout chest holster made to order, all kinds of color combos and able to accommodate different lights. I like them over Gunfighters Kenai because they have a screw used to adjust the draw tension installed. To my knowledge the Kenai still does not, and the Kydex will...
He posted a pic with the rifle on the scale.
Bump for a beautiful rifle that looks like a tack driver. This is a little heavy and long for my needs and preference in a mountain rifle role, otherwise it would be very tempting! GLWS
Interesting to hear about some others experiences with a busted extractor. I took my Carbon Fury to the range a few times over the past month to practice for a bear hunt. I started noticing an issue once rounds started failing to eject completely, although the bolt would still pull them back...
I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your question correctly, or maybe I'm making the assumption you are looking into 20E just because of it's close (ish) proximity to Delta Junction? If so, I'll just add that a lot of AK Residents travel all over the state or to the various ranges for sheep...
Nice job on creating this list with weights! Here's my thoughts, it looks good overall though.
I would ditch the Kenai insulated jacket. If you need to block the wind use your rain jacket. Or if you need a little more warmth when hiking over your lighter layers, use the rain jacket and open...
At this rate with the warm temps we’re having, you could hike Turnagain Arm Trail and it wouldn’t be too snowy/muddy. It’s one of the first around Anchorage to dry out since it’s south facing. The actual Turnagain Arm Trail is a traverse that gains some elevation then follows the Seward Highway...
I don't see where DF&G has cancelled any of the 20A Any bull moose tags yet? Is that a rumor you heard that will be announced soon? You seem to be well connected to the DF&G in the Interior so I don't doubt that info, but I just haven't seen anything formally announced yet.
I do see the...
If I understand your first post correctly, you were setting aside a week for the actual DCUA sheep hunt in August, not just a week to scout. My recommendation would be to bump that to a minimum of 10 days, and up to 14 days would be even better. Of course you could pull it off solo in a week...
Thanks for sharing some photos of your experiences with hunting this tag everyone!
My wife drew it this year, I'm looking forward to helping her again in August.
