Hello, so moose season wrapped up, this year we took a buddies boat, a smaller 16-footer, all welded, instead of by riveted john. Long story short, I'm looking for a welded hull. I've run my boat for 6-7 years, and just want to upgrade. When I started my search 7 years ago, I wanted a...

Hello Looking at a new outerwear set this year. I'm on the fence on the Kuiu Chinook or the Guide weight stuff. My other go to set is a pair of Sitka 90's. An it is sometimes too heavy... Just wondering if the chinook series is going to be too light?? Have seen snow on many a sheep...

Well, need some moose hunting river tips. Really looking for some decent directions. Got my first moose with a buddy in an airboat. Purchased 18 foot 115 jet boat last year. Run the knik. Fish the deshka. Real comfortable up to the weir even with skinny water. Just some background on my...

I had a 375 Ruger made out of a 700. Donor was a 270 so opened mag face, installed sako extractor, douglas barrel at 21 inches, rifle basix trigger, work was done down south,,,,,think about 800-900 in it. I had to use an extended mag box, without it, could only hold two down, with it I can get...

Well, finally got the boat out on Sunday, would have loved to go with the crew on sat but had to work, looked like a fun trip. This was my first trip on the boat, went to the Knik as well, got well past second bridge, then, pretty sure I took a wrong turn and ended up running out of water. This...

Hello I have a 45 gallon fuel tank I picked up, basically it was sitting ouside in the elements for about 4 years (gas cap on) and it had about 5 gallons of fuel in it. Mix of fuel/water/oil, kind of a thick consistancy. Looking for ideas on cleaning it out, did some searching online but...

Hello I have a quick question, attached is a pic of my boat, she is a 18 foot Valco. Its a pretty light boat, not much too her, I still need to add a floor but its going to be a simple marine plywood typ floor, most likely even go with 1/2" with a bunch of stud spacers. Anyway, I'm in the...

Last years sheep hunt went pretty good, had our high camp we kept hunting out of, and returning to in the evening. That camp consisted of a lightweight 3-man Some nights we found ourselves 4 miles or more from camp at times. Trying to get smarter about this and figure we can basically save...

Hello Well my winter project kind of turned into a mid summer project. I have a 18 foot flat bottomed Valco I've been working on. Pretty much have her back ready to float but want to put her into a lake and see if some of the below waterline mods I had to make are up to snuff, and see how...

I'm making the switch to braided for the upcoming season. Used a buddies rod a bit a really like the feel of it. So for casting lures, straight to the lure with the braid no problem. What are you guys doing for your egg, or bait rigs? Typically I have a bunch of egg snells tied up and just...

Did a few searches but did not come up with anything, any leads for guys doing beetle cleaning here in the Anchorage area? The valley would work too Thanks

Hello, put my 375 ruger away during the winter shooting crazy little groups. Sub moa for sure. Over the winter I finished the project and duracoated it and the stock. Ended up taking a little material out of stock to get barrel back free floated. Anyway picked it back up weeks ago and wanted...

Okay, I own a Barneys external pack. I've had a couple hunting seasons with it. It has a couple sheep hunts under it's belt and it's got me thinking. The pack with load tends to be top heavy, mainly dealing with grade and rough country. The rear bar is at about a 45 degree angle, it would seem...

Well, things are starting to fall in place. I think after all my research I have at least a good idea of logistics. 15 weeks now to hit the emerald island, just can't wait. Pack list is coming together, new gear purchased includes a couple cots, cabelas xpg 6 man. Wanted one for awhile so...

Hello I was lucky enough to draw DB252. Finally have some other issues out of the way and want to solidify transportation into the field. I'm between a couple options. We can either ferry over a buddies 28 foot ocean boat and make the 70 mile trip to hunting area. Or go the float plane option...

Hello I had the chance to pick up my first riverboat. Its an older Valco 18', flat bottom, bit of a blunt nose, welded frames but its a riveted boat. Came with a older 135 Johnson with a jet. I'm currently working out if the powerplant is worth a darn or looking into new power. Boat was...

Hello I just got my 375 Ruger back from the gunsmith. It was built on a 700 rem. He put a sako extractor on, opened bolt face (30/06 doner). I had my stock prepped and made short work getting the bedding and final fitting done My first dummies for feeding were some 300 grain Hord DGX which...

Well, have been thinking about it awhile now, and a trip to the Deshka pretty well convinced me I need some type of river boat, besides a cataraft I have. I've been a bit hesitant since I've never power boated on a river. I've done a lot of power boating on lakes and such, and have been...

Moderators feel free to move, just need some thoughts. Not hunting specific but close...... I picked up my bear hide from Alpha Furs. They did a very nice job, very pleased Problem is my dog is not a fan, we fleshed and processed in the garage and she would not go in there for at least a...
