I believe that is still their policy. Ideally I would like to fly one hunt, but I will be hunting with a few others and with even one extra bull we may not be able to. I've talked with Alaskan Airlines and any additional antlers are not guaranteed a spot on the plane after the first one. More...
Great tips! Have you had any experience flying home large antlers (moose/caribou)? Especially velvet caribou. I'm worried about cost and damage to get those home to the lower 48 without damaging velvet. Thanks in advance
If you hunt the west you already probably know how to read a topo map we'll. Use this to your advantage to look for funnels, saddles, and other terrain advantages. Also use satellite imagery, along with boots on the ground scouting to look for buck and doe bedding, transition areas, food and...
I know in a perfect scenario, ammunition and powder should be stored in temperature regulated, dry, and clean place but I live in a smaller house and my only real storage for hunting and shooting gear and supplies is in my attached garage. I do run a dehumidifier in the summer months and the...
I have the Option 8 and I love it. Best sight I've ever owned. I custom ordered it 5 pins, I wanted the bigger housing for extended travel for long range shots. I do not have the oval peep so it requires a lot of focus for centering my circle peep on the housing, I will be purchasing the oval...
Congrats on your upcoming newborn. I was in your shoes last year, my wife and I had a baby in late March and I had plans to draw an elk tag for September. Draw deadlines come and go right about the same time our son was born, so my wife and I talked if I should wait a year or try to draw for the...
I've been wearing Ariat FR clothing at work now for a couple years now and have been happy with it. Carhartt won't be getting business from me in the future.
I have owned both the Fanatic sets from Sitka and the Sanctuary set from First Lite. My opinions:
Comfort/fit- First lite
Warmth/windblock- Sitka by a lot
Noise- slight advantage First Lite
Camo patterns- First lite
Weight- Draw
Functionality/design- Sitka
Durability- Sitka
I'm in the same boat and looking to upgrade some gear. I will be flying out of Tok this fall. First time hunting caribou and first time hunting Alaska! Good luck!
