    Sold Maven 9x45

    These Maven B.2 9x45's recently came back from their annual cleaning and check-up at the Maven factory and I haven’t used them since. Always used with a bino harness so the glass is mint. Maven has the best customer service in the biz and incredible glass but I switched to 8x30’s for what I do...

    Do You Sleep With Your Food in Bear Country?

    I live in AK where bears are not habituated and they have plenty of more natural options than whatever I’m packin. They just don’t bother us. If there’s meat in camp I have no problem sleeping with my human food, I know what they are going for first. But I definitely sleep close to my meat...

    Off season for the dogs

    During the summer? Let’m get fat and chase sticks with the kids! Come hunting season? Yell at’m for the first two days of the season and then settle in to enjoy the rest of the season behind a dog with drive, instinct and maturity to get the job done. I pretty much quit training at 3 years old...

    Alaska/all around rifle

    30-06 is the way to go. Not only is it just a fabulous all around cartridge but when things go wrong and you need to find ammo I can assure you the most common caliber kicking around the old man’s boat, truck or garage will be 30-06.

    Driving to AK vacation

    I live in AK and I can assure you that a week will be too short to cover the road system up here. If you pick 2-3 spots you might be fine but you’re often looking at a 6hr drive to move locations so days get lost to transportation in a hurry. That leaves a week for the Alcan which will also be...

    Where does the dog go in your truck?

    I have a 2'x2' box that stretchers the width of the truck bed and sits on the rails up against the rear window. Its as close to cab dimensions as possible to maintain aerodynamics on the highway. There is a latched door on each side so the dog can be accessed from either side and there is a...

    Keeping weight on active dog

    I see you live in Alaska? If so you have the BEST access to high quality kibble around! This is due entirely to the high sled dog density in the area. Redpaw is good and I fed it for many years to 30-40 sled dogs. But, it doesn't compare to other brands. Caribou Creek Gold and Caribou Creek...

    Switched dogs to raw diet...WOW

    Yer dog don't want no damn sweet potatos!!!! I just tossed my lab some frozen and uncooked silverskin, tendon, fat scraps from last falls moose. In general, it's safe to assume feeding edible game meat is illegal, it is in AK. If you are feeding big game scraps to your dog don't feed them them...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    I think surveyed and projected sheep numbers strongly influence hunter participation. AK sheep numbers are down and so is OTC participation. I know exactly how hard a sheep hunt is when the population is up. With numbers down the last 2-4 years I've sat a few years out entirely to spent time...

    2025 Alaska Bear Hunt Input?

    A buddy of mine was guiding moose hunts in the middle Kuskokwim (bush plane flight out of Aniak I believe) said they were glassing up 5-10 black bears a day and refered to them as "taking over" the hills. There is a strong predator reduction sentiment up here so you could even call ADF&G and ask...
