    Trophy expediters

    Just a follow up to my post above. I received my velvet caribou from Alaska yesterday. Alaska Trophy Expiditers sent them with Alaska Air cargo. I was kept well informed by text about the whole process. The antlers were wrapped in thin plastic, then bubble wrap, and finally in heavy shrink...

    Trophy expediters

    I just returned from Alaska. I had been told in the past that D&C had the only freeze dry equipment in Alaska that would accommodate full size, unsplit caribou antlers. I almost turned my velvet caribou over to them when I found out they have to split the skull and could not handle a full size...

    Airline Travel with Antlers

    I brought some smallish split red deer antlers in checked baggage back in 2005 from NZ. I don't remember the paperwork required, but it was minimal. I had a larger rack sent back in 2019 through Coppersmith. For the minimal paperwork required to import from disease free NZ, the handling fees...

    Wolves, You, & Hunting in Colorado

    Terms used in discussing issues like this should be specific. The grazing on federal public lands is done under a permit, NOT a lease. They are two different terms and bestow different legal privileges.

    Do You Sleep With Your Food in Bear Country?

    Unless I missed it after scanning all the posts, I did not see where anybody mentioned in many locations there are regulations concerning food storage. They are quite specific on where and how attractants are handled. Of course, there are those who choose not to inform themselves or ignore the...

    Anybody ever hunt with a slow arse bow?

    If slow arrows couldn't kill wild game, we wouldn't be around to worry about this. Or ancestors would have starved to death. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

    Archery Harvest Pics for sheep?

    Red Letters, you will have to excuse Blockcaver's lack of efficiency in killing sheep over the years since he was squeezing an archery Super Slam in there at the same.

    Mountain Goat Books?

    Well, as they say, "You learn something new every day". I have three of Duncan Gilchrist's autographed books Hunting the Rocky Mountain Goat, All About Bears, and Montana-Land of Giant Rams. So, am I rich?

    Archery Harvest Pics for sheep?

    My Montana bighorn sheep with a recurve in 2001. Seventeen days in total for the hunt. The shot was just under 20 yards. He was 11 1/2 years old and scored 190 0/8 B&C. The ewe was in 1990 from Colorado the year after I got skunked on my ram tag in the same unit.

    Archery Goat pics?

    Two with traditional bow. First one on the last day of eight day hunt in BC. Second on the first day of eight day hunt in 2023. I was 63 on the first and 71 years old on the last hunt. The first one already had a broken right horn when I shot him. The second broke his right horn after I...

    75 years old - First time Brooks Range

    My experience as a 72 bowhunter is even if you explain to a very young guide your limitations, they may not understand deep down. As my dear mother used to say "they hear, but they do not comprehend!" I told my 32 year old guide on my elk bow hunt last year I was coming off Covid and would have...

    If you are not happy w/your Doc FIRE THEM!!!

    Fire 'em? You mean like I did with the doctor who diagnosed me as Type ll diabetic after nothing but one blood test claiming >14 A1C. Full on insulin and Metaformin prescribed for six weeks until I went to another guy who re-tested with 5.6 A1C. A second opinion never hurts!

    Longest Trad Kill.. ?

    37 yard double-lung pass through on a bull elk. Generally don't shoot big game more than 20-25 yards, but that guy tempted me. Unfortunately for him he just came out of a wallow and had a spot of mud right behind his shoulder. He was standing broadside and I didn't even think about the...

    Hotel in Edmonton

    I just went muskox hunting last October and stayed at the Nisku Inn where I have stayed several times before. They are hunter friendly. Ask for a hunting outfitter discount. Your outfitter may be on their list. If not, they will just add it like they did ours! They have a freezer they let...
