    The FAI sheep show 2024

    Jerry Lees bless his soul held an inaugural Fairbanks Sheep Show like they used to have in the old days. Lots of monsters and lots of sheep hunters of all ages at Tom Lamals house in Fairbanks this last Thursday. I will put up some pictures later but it was the bomb and a world record was broken.

    Crown method.

    I have been very happy with the Crown method of age determination that has been developed by Clay Lancaster. It is pretty genius. It works well on all Ovis species. I can't see myself using something else. He discusses it on the Mindful hunter podcast and on Youtube.

    I had a long discussion with Fish and Game employee who told me that USFWS and Unit 26 RAC was pretty solid on closing down caribou hunting opportunities on the Dalton Highway. No one caribou per hunter. Just straight up closing down the hunting for nonrural subsistence users.

    Gear Tweeks

    Every year new stuff comes out. There is a balance of keeping the stuff that works and then adding new stuff that replaces old or adopting new types of gear. I am just wondering if people have tweeks going. I know that this year I went with the Minimo jetboil and I love it because it would...

    Geovid 10X42 HD-R vs. Swaro 10X42Sv

    I am curious of which of the two binoculars people would pick and why you would pick that particular binocular or binocular-ranging combo. Note that I am talking about the older generation of HD-Rs and not the HD-R 403s. Thanks in advance.

I love and have actually worn out two Ibex boiled wool jackets...

    Missing Sheep Hunter

    I have heard that there is a missing sheep hunter in the Wrangells. He supposedly called his wife after he had taken a very large trophy ram. He had told his wife that it was going to be tricky to get down to the sheep. He is now five days overdue. Let's hope he is ok and just lost. The key...
