      For sale >338 Winchester Magnum Ammo for Sale

      I have a fair amount of .338 Winchester Magnum ammo that I don’t need anymore, as I did my last remote Alaska hunt last Fall. Willing to sell it for the price listed below; the buyer would also assume the shipping cost for UPS Ground shipment within the contiguous 48 states. The various ammo...

      SIMPLE Training Videos on the Basics (Grip, Stance, Aim, Etc.)

      My girl has a couple of pistols and likes going to the range with me, she's a pretty good shot. Her challenge - she was a passenger in a head-on car accident a long time ago, that resulted in a traumatic brain injury that significantly limits her short-term memory. Each time we go to the...

      Big game hunting help Elk, Caribou, Moose ect & what caliber to use

      As someone said earlier, good on your daughter for expressing her interest, and good on you for looking into it! That said - the shooter is always going to be the weak link in the equation, given the capability of modern rifles, scopes, and bullets. Both your 7.62 and 300 Weatherby are very...

      My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

      Per person, this recent hunt cost about $10k all in including airfare/gear to Anchorage, as well as hotel rooms in Anchorage and Tok before/after the hunt. I did go with a guide the first couple of times in the early 2000's, as I had a grizzly tag and was required by law to have a guide to hunt...

      My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

      I was 4 years old the first time, and my Dad took me for a week long hunt on the Denali Highway. My Mom stayed up each night thinking I might get homesick and want to come home to Anchorage. The only way my Dad talked me into going home 1 day early, was informing me that we were out of...

      My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

      On several of my remote Alaska hunts, I went with guys that I found on various hunting forums (Rokslide, Hunttalk, Alaska Outdoors Directory). I would post a thread in October saying I am looking for a hunting partner for a remote Alaska hunt the following September. I would typically get 10 -...

      My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

      I have 2 sisters and lots of family in Anchorage...we dropped off about 350 pounds of meat and soup bones at my oldest sister's house. Within 2 days it had been cut up and divided among 7 different families, so I opted to leave it all with them this time, and didn't bring any home. You lost me...

      My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

      It's the time of year when they start shedding their velvet, but all of the bulls shed at different speeds. My bull had velvet falling off that we pulled off; my nephew's had most of its velvet still on; and his Dad's was nearly free of velvet.

      My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

      It's my last remote Alaska flyout hunt...did the first one back in 2002, have done 12-15 since then. I'm 62, the remote hunts are a ton of work (I supplied all of the gear since 2010, and just recruit friends or partners for the hunt). Also, my girlfriend and I dated long distance for 20 years...

      My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

      In the area I hunt, it's a registration tag - you can get the permit and tag over the counter, but once a certain number of caribou are harvested, the hunt will be closed. You pretty much gotta take a bush flight (or a rough 50 to 60 mile boat ride) to hunt the zone we hunt, so the hunt has...

      My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

      The next morning I rousted the guys out of bed and told them we had a busy morning ahead of us. We had planned to fly back to Tok the following day – but with the weather we had encountered, I didn’t want to chance any weather delays if I could help it. My plan was to get all the meat packed...

      My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

      This was the toughest weather of any of my 12-15 remote Alaska hunts since 2002. We were in the field for 7 days, and it either rained or snowed every day except for the day we flew back to Tok. We spent a lot more time in the tent than we would have liked, as the low cloud cover at 3800 feet...

      My Last Remote Alaska Hunt

      On the 2nd and 3rd days of our hunt, we got about 3” of wet snowfall over the course of 30 hours or so. No visibility and wet snow meant that we pretty much stayed in the tent throughout the storm to keep warm and dry. I was pretty impressed with my nephew, at one point we were in the sleep tent...
