    Fairbanks to Dawson Drive best layover point

    I’ll be going to Dawson City via Fairbanks and looking for suggestions or pros and cons on where to layover. Since I’ll probably be arriving in Fairbanks in early afternoon, the outfitter thought it may be a good idea to get a few hours of driving time under my belt after I arrive in Fairbanks...

    Calgary/Edmonton Denver flight travel question

    I know these travel questions have been discussed many times and I thought I had a good route figured out and it seemed a no brainer to fly into Edmonton when touching down in Canada for a sheep hunt. Unfortunately it is nearly impossible for me to find a flight which touches down on Canadian...

    Carrying Tip Money/TSA

    I’ve been contemplating this question for sometime now, but after reading the TSA requirements and search procedures I figured I would ask how hunters carry large sums of CASH tip money without issues from TSA searches. Maybe I’m over reacting but about 25 years ago I got detained at the...

    Concerns flying with guns under todays political climate

    I was wondering if anyone out there is having concerns about flying with guns under todays political climate and cancel culture; I certainly am because it happened to me in the past. I used to fly on 2 to 3 hunting trips a year from the mid 80’s until about 2000. Then family and work took...

    Pa Whitetail Season comes to a happy end

    Never posted a photo on this sight before but figured this one deserved it. When I first started hunting PA whitetails almost 50 years ago, just seeing a buck was a feat in itself. But antler restrictions and management is certainly paying off. This year I harvested my largest buck ever and...

    Rifle care in Sheep country

    I’ve been wondering how hunters maintain and care of your rifles while on a backpack hunt for sheep. After reading many posts on hunts this year, it seems like rain is a constant factor while in the sheep mountains. While I’ve been on many hunts over the years, those hunts always ended up back...

    Fairbanks to Dawson City Travel info needed

    Can anyone tell me how to get from Fairbanks to Dawson City by the easiest (and reasonably priced) method. Maybe someone from Alaska knows the secret. I had friends who made this trek years ago but it appears the airlines have stopped flying this route. Maybe I’m just chasing my tail but I’m...

    Tale of a Bergara Mountain Rifle/Kimber Mtn Ascent 280AI FINAL

    I recently purchased a Bergara Mountain Rifle in 280 Ackley for an upcoming Backpack hunt. I have plenty of rifles I built over the years but most tipped the scales in excess of 9 lbs so I wanted something lightweight; close to 7 lbs would be ideal. I really didn’t want to go through another...

    Close to booking first sheep hunt-anything I am forgetting??

    Well I finally contacted some outfitters and am leaning toward Nahanni Butte at this point, mainly since they seem to have a good reputation and I want to fill a goat tag that I missed out on 25 years ago. They got back to me with prices and a date which would be the last 2 weeks of September...

    FNG in PA

    New to the group and joined because I plan on getting back into guided hunts again after about a 25 year hiatus. I’ve hunted since I have been legally able to and after I got out of school and had a job, I began going on some guided hunts and just couldn’t get enough. I have been on numerous...
