I am with Colorado cowboy on this. Unless you shot over 500 yards a boat tail bullet doesn't offers any real advantages. I have used sierra game king bullets with great success. I have also used Speer grand slam & BT bullets with great success. I really think Sierra bullets are over looked when...

I just wanted to let everyone know that AK F&G might closing caribou hunting to non-residents in unit 26B. The population has went from 70,000 down to 23,000 in 6 years. This the unit where the "haul" road is, & mostly residents hunt but there are a few transporters in the area that base their...

AKA thumper. Energy of a 375 H&H with the ballistics of a 7mm Rem mag.

Just a all around good choice in my opinion.

My eldest son's first mule deer buck. Hunting the hot & dry conditions was a challenge & he was getting discouraged but hung in there for 6 days of hard hunting. I keep telling him we hunters must have 2 traits to be successful, patience & optimism.....

The Syndicate hunting show on the sportsman channel is in deep doodoo ! http://www.adn.com/article/20150914/hunting-show-stars-charged-poaching-alaska-preserve So it brings up the question, At what cost do these hunting TV shows go through to poach critters ? Reading this gives me a...

Or any of the high dollar hunting clothes out there ?? I personally don't see the advantage ! I hunt in one of the most hostile regions of the world and do just fine with every day run of the mill clothing. The only place I will spend money is on my feet. Some of my hunting buddies buy that...

We used just the fly and poles on the MSR hubba tent. At home before the trip I cut a piece of Tyvek house wrap to put on the tundra in cased of rain and as you can see by the pic it rained. The tyvek kept the water at bay as long as it didn't slide past the fly.

Wyatt's moose euro mount .. Moose are more challenging than most american big game do to the antlers coming out of the horizontal compared to the top. So i cut the barrel with a 4" grinder to accommodate the antlers to get the majority of the skull in the water. Notice in the back ground I...

"eldest boy" is a family joke we have because Wyatt is metally mature beyond his years. He is always calm, cool, & collective .. My wife is always reminding me he acts more "mature" than I. He is 13 & I'm about to turn 43. A long story short we adopted Wyatt @ birth and was our first. His...

My oldest son Wyatt earned his hunter safety card this summer at age 13. The deal was he get his hunter safety card & I'll take him moose hunting. I called this bull in on the 4th day of the hunt. Wyatt shot him throught the heart at a whopping 35 yards as the bull was thrashing the alders and...

sunset in the brooks range

Spent 13 days in the brooks range hunting sheep. It was the most pristine wilderness i've ever been to. The silence was deafening. We walked about 60 miles and rafted 18 miles. If anyone of you guys ever want to visit a place where you see no one, hear no air traffic, see no lights, and love...
