best tent recommendation with a wood stove
I agree with Vern that a stove upgrade would be nice. I bought the SO package, and have the XL titanium stove in my 8 person tipi. It works, but setup is a little tedious and it’s not very airtight. A willow or alder fire is gone pretty quick. -

best tent recommendation with a wood stove
The SO 8 person is roomy and still light. We use one. It has stood some high winds. The footprint is big. If I had space, I might bring one of the smaller Arctic Ovens, but it won’t work for us. I’m intrigued by the SO Redcliff but I’d be giving up some space. -

Manitoba Moose 2024
It’s $25 Canadian at the border. I think you can import up to 3 non restricted firearms for this fee. Download and print the form from Canada Customs. Fill it out ahead of time but do not sign it. You will sign it at the border station when you check in and pay. As I’m sure you know, no... -

What alpaca raft for moose quarters?
I have, and will in the future as well. I think it's a law, but not sure if it applies to all rafts/boats. Just common sense to me. Drowning in cold water is a much bigger danger than bear problems. I've got things to live for. -

I see from the BB website that the Smith 396 is one of the handguns they tested the Heavy 44 Spl load in. The say it's OK for all 44 Spl revolvers except the Bulldog. -

I enjoyed your video about the Forager. You guys looked pretty comfortable in it. -

Buffalo Bore makes a fairly powerful 44spl hard cast load. Probably too much for a Charter Arms Bulldog, but good in a Smith 696. A guy could probably do a lot worse. -

AK Moose 2024
I’m sort of a casual handgunner snd don’t claim expert status. The yardstick I use is: What’s the most power I can get in a portable package and still shoot well. Something like 3 rapid hits on a 6in plate at 30 feet. Only hits count and speed matters. Noisy misses will just get you killed. -

AK Moose 2024
We’ve taken XDM 10mm’s in the past and may again. Reliable, easy to shoot and fairly inexpensive. BB hard cast 220’s for us. I like having a handgun in a chest rig but to be fair, it’s one of the first items I’d leave behind if gear weight had to be trimmed. If I were a bow hunter, I’d carry a... -

2024 AK Moose Prep
Pee bottle? Oh yea. Seems like it’s always raining when I gotta go. Or it sounds like bears outside. We camp a lot. “I wish I hadn’t brought that extra tarp,” said NO CAMPER EVER! 😳 Same applies to extra rope. A cut resistant glove is a must for me too. -

Gosh Vern, if that’s the case, I’d think you could get it done with a knife, a lighter and a sharp stick! 🤭 -

What alpaca raft for moose quarters?
I’ve looked at all I can find online about the PR-49HD. I see lots of folks running it on rivers heavily loaded. For you users, how stable is it with two people aboard? I could envision paddling it down or across a small lake to access other hunting areas. I agree it looks like a good raft to... -

What alpaca raft for moose quarters?
Thanks for the info. Which raft is more stable on flat water? Based on your advice, I’ll look harder at the PR49. I’m thinking I’ll likely buy one, since rental for a 10 day hunt is about half the purchase price. The weight should be ok since we’re getting flown in a Cessna. -

Thinhorn, tell me more about your Forager. I’ve been considering one for hunting. Save me $ and talk me out if it . Thanks. -

2024 AK Moose Prep
Oh yea, I also note those dumbbells in Robinhood’s photo. Exercise and conditioning are ongoing. I’ll pack a bunch of stuff, but the extra 10lb of body fat I DON’T pack will probably be more important. -

2024 AK Moose Prep
I’ve gotta buy new waders this year. Older Cabelas pair got me wet last fall. My wading boots will probably last forever. I’m looking at a pack raft, which could come in very handy. Also was intrigued by the new floorless hot tent from the Arctic Oven folks, but decided to stick with the tipi... -

7-08 Alberta moose
Unless you have a VERY long barrel, you’ve probably already “found” pressure with a 130 grain bullet at 3100 from a 7-08. Shoot the TTSX load. -

If I’m fortunate enough to shoot a moose, I’ll send GPS coordinates to any willing soul with a backpack and strong legs! 😏 -

Transporter? No problem. Just call 40 Mile Air and tell them you’d like a moose hunt. 😳 Well, maybe it’s not always that easy. It can take time, work and a bit of luck to make it happen. For 2025, I’d be calling around now and offering to put down a deposit. The best time to start planning a... -

I see that Part 2 of Billy’s article is still at available at the top of this forum. Part 1 seems AWOL. Just reading the many threads here will put a guy way ahead. I think I’ve also seen every moose hunt on YouTube as well .🫤 Interestingly, Billy Molls was the speaker at a game dinner I...
