    Grizzlies on the move...

    We just had another mauling in Alaska, by a grizzly. The gentleman survived but is pretty beat up!

    Transporting meat out of the field?

    Leaving the meat on the bone is a regional, not statewide regulation. The theory behind it is that "boned-out" meat has a propensity to spoil quicker, with more surface area exposed to air, dirt, water, etc. The requirement to take the rib meat has been on the books for many years and probably...

    Wolverine sighting Antelope Park, Ut

    That's pretty cool. Wolverine are awesome. I've tracked them by airplane and you can about run out of gas before finding them. Real travelers! I've seen a fair number of them but have never been able to get a shot at one. I've lived in some pretty good wolverine country but they can sure be hard...

    How to Hunt Mountain Goat?

    I don't know anything about hunting them in the lower 48. In Alaska, you'll be required to have a guide unless you're a resident or fit one of the exceptions. Goats are pretty easy to find but pretty hard to get close enough to kill them. If you are thinking about coming up to Alaska, give me...

    Name That Puppy!

    How about "Oak". It would honor your kennel and sounds strong.

    Bear Gun?

    I completely agree, especially with Kodiak and Alaska Peninsula bears. They're well fed and far less aggressive. No so much the interior and Arctic bears. When I lived in Coldfoot (above the arctic circle) the bears up there are more prone to be troublesome. There is no big salmon runs to keep...

    Bear Gun?

    I haven't heard that Tim. I remember that you were there for him when he was mauled. You probably saved him. I sure hope you heard wrong, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I don't know him personally.

    Bear Gun?

    I'm certainly no expert on the matter. I've only killed 2 grizzlies in my life, but with 45 straight years of living, hunting and photographing wildlife in Alaska, I've had at least my fair share of bear encounters. (And shopping trips to Cy's in Kodiak). I lived in Kodiak 1987-1991. Hunted...

    Bear Gun?

    When I'm just hiking, mostly on the trails around Anchorage, I'll usually have bear spray and a Delta Elite 10mm. Lot's of bears there, some cranky moose too. I have only used spray on the moose and have threatened bears with it, but not sprayed them, yet! If I'm hunting alone, it's probably my...

    Local Shooting Range Situation

    Wow, that's horrible! How about contacting Senator Boebert about it, she sure is pro gun and might be able to help out!
