    Shipping meat and horns-AA checked baggage vs AA air cargo

    Hey William, thanks for the information. I really like your pointer about going with NAC from Kotzebue to Anchorage. I’ll look into that route and then going as checked baggage from anchorage back to Bismarck. I may have some other questions too if you don’t mind later. Do you by chance have any...

    Shipping meat and horns-AA checked baggage vs AA air cargo

    Well I appreciate that tidbit, these are the steps of the process I'm trying to digest. As of now if we hunt up to the last day of our planned 6 day hunting trip we don't leave Kotzebue for 2 days after we come out of the field. I am trying to figure out where we can rent or use freezer space in...

    Shipping meat and horns-AA checked baggage vs AA air cargo

    Ok I have all the questions. This is a topic we are really stressing about. A group of us are booked to be caribou hunting September 2023. We are trying to get answers on our options for flying meat and antlers back as checked baggage. We are coming from North Dakota and don't have Alaska Air as...

    Who’s Boun It In 2022?

    Yes, we are booked but not until September of 2023. Probably early but working on logistics, and have so many questions. As time progresses I'll surely be asking those questions here.

    If you could caribou hunt once

    Thank you everybody for the replies as well as the replies in other threads. We are officially booked for Sept 1-9 of 2023, hunting the Western Arctic Herd. Was extremely disappointed with the porcupine herd transporter communication or lack there of but either way I am currently happy with our...

    If you could caribou hunt once

    I have been reading every article on rokslide regarding caribou. I have it narrowed down to one transporter that I'd like to go with to hunt the western arctic herd and one transporter to hunt the porcupine herd. If you could do one which would you prefer and why? I'd like to make this as much...

    Best Pack

    If there’s anything I’ve learned about packs, you’re gonna think your first is awesome and you’re never gonna think it’s bad until you try that next level. I learned the same thing about optics. Get whatever you can afford/justify, make sure it fits and go hunt.

    Best Pack

    I'll throw my vote in. I like my MR Metcalf. Each Manufacture has a little something that another doesn't, I like how Kuiu packs load lifter stays can double as a rifle sling holder, the Metcalf doesn't have that, Exo has 2 extra straps to hold meat bags in place that Metcalf doesn't. Still I...

    Northern Air Trophy

    I know you’re not going to say it publicly and I would direct message you if I had enough posts to do so. But I’m in the beginning stages of planning a caribou trip and have several emails in to transporters from Kotzebue. You say there’s 3 good ones and 2 to stay away from? I would really like...
