    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    Very in depth long article. I've waded through most of it. Bottom line is they now figure there are a lot more Golden Eagles in AK than they thought. 9 Nov 2021 "By extrapolating across the species' nesting range in Alaska (1,180,489 km2) and incorporating published productivity and...

    Alaska Dall Sheep - Undersubscribed Non-Res Draw Hunts

    These few "Guide Only" tags are a mere snowflake in the wind compared to the fact that Alaska sells an unlimited number of over the counter guide required non-resident sheep tags annually.

    My 2024 Dall Pack LIst

    I can't imagine trying to take a leak in a ziplock or a bottle. Tried the bottle one time. Much easier (and safer!) to crawl outside. It's not like a guy is at 20,000ft on Everest!

    My 2024 Dall Pack LIst

    You've got a Chopper and a Meat Packer!! Take more food and definitely more coffee! Ditch the Pocket Rocket for a stove that works in the wind and doesn't guzzle fuel. Like an MSR Reactor. Have a great trip! Yup, more coffee for sure..... :D MSR Reactor in the wind. No Prob...

    In search of a bighorn sheep skull to buy.

    Isn't it illegal to sell Bighorn skulls and horns?? Or at least a tremendous hoop jump to get approval, if even possible, through whatever State is involved?

    Introducing a puppy into the family with an older dog

    Get the pup. Don't worry about it. Dogs are pack animals, they work it out. We have a 12 yo female Dachsund and added a brand new puppy last year. We've always had 2 or 3 dogs. No biggie. Enjoy your new pup!

    Any Audiophiles around here?

    I've got a vintage Luxman PD-272 Turntable that I bought brand new back in 76-77. I'm looking to sell it. If interested in details shoot me a pm. I didn't list it here in the classifeds cuz it's not hunting related.

    Plastic/double boots

    The Lowa Civettas (green ones) are svelt and lighter. Nothing like the Scarpas, Koflachs, etc. The Lowa Extremes (red ones or black for UK Military) have a different liner more of a winter liner for warmth. Same shell though. The Koflachs for me had a narrow toe and wide heel. Civetta shells fit...

    Plastic/double boots

    Lowa Civettas are great if they fit your feet like any other boot. I've killed a few rams and packed out a few more in them. Not one blister in 100's of miles of mountain hunting. I put a plastic sack or oven bag between the liner and shell. Always have dry feet. Glacier socks when needed like...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    Are there any legal concerns (state or feds) regarding charging for your guide services versus "selling" Alaska wildlife? It seems that in the world of guided hunts, Trophy Fees are charged for privately owned animals when the hunter kills the critter on the private ranch, not "publicly owned"...

    Your "must haves" in your sheep pack for 10-12 days in

    Anti Diahrea and Anti Nausea meds. OTC Anti Diahrea works. RX Anti Nausea if you can get it. A bad case of either one leads to dehydration, exhaustion, etc. and the hunts over. You cant hunt if you can eat or keep fluids down. On two different sheep hunts here in AK my Anti Diahrea meds saved my...
