Congratulations Trent. I'm sure you'll have a blast there!! It looks beautiful!

A hunt for a big bull elk is way up on my list! I've never been interested in Africa. A red stag in New Zealand would be fun too!

I have friends that hunt brown bears with a bow. It's not all that easy. They see as well as we do and their sense of smell is incredible! Sitka deer are a very good bow hunt. I'm not much of a bowhunter but have taken a couple that way. They must be easy enough if even I could get it done...

My very favorite was/is my first .22! A Marlin 99-22 M1. I still have it but it doesn't get too much use these days,

I understand and support introducing some species into different environments because I see a benefit to it. Kodiak Island for example, only has 6 species of land mammals native to the island. The introduced species include Sitka Blacktail deer, Caribou, Mountain Goats, Elk (on Afognak island)...

I like wildlife photography, fishing and flying.

I bet I'll find a good 130 load for it. They just weren't the best of the sample I tried so far. Which isn't a lot yet.

Good on them for helping the little bear out.

In my experience, there are several well funded groups that push their agenda and initiate lawsuits. Activists for many wildlife causes. Friends of Animals, PETA, Green Peace and others. They solicit money from people by advertising with heart touching photos of starving animals or a wolf in a...

Oh, it will likely get scratched!

I bought a new rifle. Being a bit of a traditionalist, I found what I thought is a good deal on a Mauser M12 in .270 Winchester. So far, so good. It seems to like 140 and 150 grain loads best. About 1" at 100. Only factory loads so far until I can catch back up with my .270 loading stuff that's...

I was fortunate and probably wouldn't change much about my career. I was able, as a fish and wildlife trooper, to experience a lot of Alaska. The first half of my career was running patrol boats throughout S.W. Alaska and Kodiak. The second half I was patrolling much of interior Alaska by...

Nice lingcod, the season isn't open for them up here yet. Good eating.

You never fully get over it. My Dad died 50 years ago, this November. I still miss him. He was a great man!

Outstanding, I'm real anxious for you. Keep us all in the loop so we can somehow share the excitement...photos, lots of photos!!

Have a great time buddy!

I kept that poster in my office as a game warden!

Looks good. I'll give this a try this fall!

First trip out this season. 80#

Personally, I would go guided. $4000 is a fair bit of money but not out of line for a mule deer hunt. I agree with all that Jim and C.C. said!
