    Cat carcass - what would do this?

    crows or ravens eat what they want and won't try to fly with that big a carcass, Owls either. don't know what killed it but guessing birds did the deed afterward.

    I'm a black and bitter guy, but my partner loves the Laird superfood creamer. We've tried it all, moo moos for road trips is the fav but Laird goes to the backcountry.

    Maintenance stage of weight loss

    Marbles, you got this! Even when burning over your stated 2500 cals per day, consider not consuming more than 700 cals in one sitting (every meal) and try to avoid eating more than 3000 cals in one day (even when your burn is 5000-7000 kcals). Don't eat past 7pm. Small adjustments help train...

    Maintenance stage of weight loss

    I'm perhaps in a different camp, so treading carefully here. Our hunt studies have shown what negative caloric balance and increased work load does for metabolic health, improved strength and weight loss. Hunters who consume 2000-2500 cals per day and burn an average 4500 cals per day (50%...

    State of the Alaskan Caribou

    velvet starts to slip on big bulls around the third week of August. Young to medium bulls 20-30 Aug you're probably safe...if preserved velvet antlers is the goal. Timing on the migration is far from predictable, but that window is pretty close to target. Maybe extend that window into the...

    State of the Alaskan Caribou

    The Central Arctic Herd rebounded from its lowest point starting about three seasons ago. Bag limits readjusted in 2024 for everyone and the herd in general is doing better and is still growing annually. GMU 26 has slightly trickier harvest tag availability. It's a registration hunt for the...

    2024 Alaska moose hunting in remote solitude...father/son.

    It's ideal over gravel and rocks, wet or dry, although i much prefer to sled march on wet days. Scenarios with moist to a few inches of water is my favs because it offers some flotation in motion. That sled is useful for many things drag related.

    Kavik Air / Blue River awareness

    Frankly, death is rudely untimely. Meanwhile, and with great urgency to stock pile deposits to CTA, someone on this forum may now have something to think about before committing. This isn't about Hannah's tragedy, it's about what patterns of behavior and hyper volume leads to with great...

    Kavik Air / Blue River awareness

    S'all good fellas. My first thought was for Hannah's family. You were notified because all businesses (air and ground) related to hunting are already taking deposits for next season and beyond. If you're booking with this business, you're now informed of real issues that could create problems...

    Kavik Air / Blue River awareness

    AKmoose, I'm not talkin shit about anyone. That implies I hear false or unchecked information and then "talk shit" without facts. I'm relaying what is really happening up here on the ground and in the air, factually. And I'm certainly not touting or promoting my own services.

    Kavik Air / Blue River awareness

    An air service that is flying 100+ hunters into and out of the field in a 3-1/2 week season results in tired pilots and tired aircraft maintenance. That's not my opinion, that is what happens. That's why, perhaps, air services with next to spotless records do scores fewer groups every...

    Game Bags not getting clean?

    Not all stains are cosmetic, as crazy as that sounds. Developing TAG Bags my early tests on spoilage bacteria on cotton game bags revealed active colonies of bacteria on samples taken from post-washed and dried game bags. Back then everyone used cotton game bags...i think that trend has tipped...

    Kavik Air / Blue River awareness

    This season left me feeling like these companies are an accident waiting to happen due to the shear volume of moose and caribou hunters they dropped on top of everyone else, until it happened last night...

    Alaska Air Cargo

    Dude it is really hard to have any litigious pursuits against AK Air. A couple years ago a customer bought a raft pkg from me and we shipped it down to Nashville for him on AK Air Cargo. The customer showed up to p/u and the raft was gone. They claimed someone picked up the raft, but it...

    Alaska DIY Moose RECAP 2024 - "HUMBLED & PURE GRIT"

    Looks like a forehead injury healed and left calcified bone repair in its place. I have one from 2012 that had the same injury and an antler conglomerate grew out of it like a unicorn. Pretty cool survival rate.

    40 Mile Air vs Ram Aviation?

    Well Ram brought planes to the Interior this year due to weather and conditions out of Kotz. They created a displacement of over 150 caribou hunters into areas already full by other air services who also moved in to new areas (traditional use areas for many other outfits). It was a shit show...

    Thoughts on this Huntin Fool moose video ethics?

    In 30 years i've lost two animals up here, one in a swamp and the other on open tundra. Both times harvest tickets got notched. I'm not impressed at all. I can also see where not notching the tag is proper as well, and just stop hunting. I showed a ranger my notched ticket on the tundra...
