    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    A thread about Alaska Sheep isn’t complete unless there is repeated discussion about non residents and their success rates hunting sheep as well as the guides they use!

    Old School Kifaru Bags

    I use the Late Season with 22” stays as my day pack/carry on pack when i have to fly for hunting. First perfectly in overhead! Still use the EMR2 with the first generation duplex frame circa 2015 as primary backpack. Still have my bikini frame and high camp bag from back in the day.

    Mechanical and Civil Engineering

    I have a mining engineering degree and agree. Can write your own ticket in this field and see the world. Remuneration is among the highest of any engineering field.

    Critique My Gear for August NWT Dall Hunt

    I didn’t have many issues with bugs and didn’t have to use a head net. Traveling with multiple bags and gun case is a pain, especially getting to Norman Wells with all the transfers. Been there, done that my first time up there. Suggest revisiting the tote concept. I’ve found that I can...

    Critique My Gear for August NWT Dall Hunt

    Definitely take puffy pants, I’ve hunted up there twice about that time and had snow both times. I would drop the spotter, more pain than what they are worth while traveling and given giuides will have one . Do you have camp shoes? Have plenty of dry sacs for packing gear/balancing weight on...

    Weatherby is circling the toilet bowl

    will always be a supporter of and loyal to weatherby, especially the mark V lineup. Might be dated with some of the new offerings on the market, but weatherby calibers still have their place and have been at the forefront in performance for decades. My memories hunting with them are some of my...

    300wsm ? New to reloading

    No, I had my rifle built around this bullet. The gunsmith developed the load. I’ve shot Barnes for years with great results in all my rifles. Norma brass, 64.5 gr RL17, 215M primers, 168 gr TTSX 0.025 off lands. I’m getting 3150 fps with effective spread of 12 fps.

    300wsm ? New to reloading

    I’m a dinosaur but I’m partial to Norma brass and RL17 for my 300 wsm. I prefer the 168 gr Barnes TTSX bullet which goes against the current trends of bullet weights. That said my definition of “long range“ is 600 yards max with this setup. Its generally fit for purpose for my needs and is...

    ProfiHunt - Any reviews?

    I’ve hunted with them in the past and will not book with them again in the future.

    Which optic for glassing

    Yes the NLs are next level for sure especially on a tripod. I am leaning towards taking them over my 15x56s as i will also have my spotter with me. But the 15’s also have their advantages. Sometimes having too many options is more trouble than what it’s worth. Where and how I hunt is all spot...

    Kyrgyzstan Ibex Hunt Travel Help

    Not the end of the world. See if you can go to Ala Archa park and take a hike up there, beautiful country. For dinner look at Supara or El Toro. There is not a whole lot to see in Bishkek in my opinion. Don’t be out alone late at night. if you're bringing trophy back with you, you’ll likely...

    What hunting conventions do you plan on attending?

    I would say WSF if only going to one show and you’re looking specifically for sheep and goats. GSCO is losing flavor and not as many outfitters attend that show. No further comments required about this “conservation“ organization.

    How do you justify sheep hunting?

    Look at mid Asian ibex hunting in either Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan. I’ve heard rumors Kyrgyzstan is closing hunting in 2023 for three years though…. Also look at New Zealand for Tahr/chamois without helicopter support
