What part of "the Kenai" are you on? You'll probably be disappointed with the hunting. There's not nearly as much game on the Kenai as one would want, and a ton of competition for what there is. The fishing is great, though.

Curious about experiences others have had hunting with the 450 Bushmaster.

So, you've finally drawn that remote Any Bull tag that you've wanted for years. Your pilot buddy is all lined up, scouting flights have started and you've got a clear 2 weeks off for early September. Then, without any lead up or warning, you get a notice from the new boss that the mandatory...

Found on a range used by police and USCG. It's aluminum and made of a two-piece casing with an outer sleeve crimped over an inner, machined piece. Has a primer, but clearly did not have any gun powder inside as there is no burn marking. No stamps or markings of any kind on the head. Didn't...

Just a couple pics taken after the Wheeler ceramic coating and before it got messed up on the first range outing.

I'm working over an old 870 Wingmaster. Originally had a parkerized finish, but much of it had worn off. The original wood was scrap and it had a 20" full choke barrel with a single bead on it. I separately have a 21" DRS barrel and a 28" rem choke vent rib that I've used on this gun for most...

From the Peninsula Clarion: http://peninsulaclarion.com/news/local/2017-02-01/man-wounds-self-accidental-gun-discharge On the KSRM facebook report of this story, they state that the gun was a revolver. This story brings up a couple issues that would be good fodder for a responsible...

Too much chat about taxes and regulations around here. Let's lighten things up a bit... Moon Phases and Hunting I picked up a 2017 Big Game calendar on sale at SW and hung it on my wall. I noticed a ticker along two of the weeks in January that are similar to the "best fishing" scale you see...

I know folks run jets up these two rivers, but who has run an outboard prop on a tunnel hull on either of them? I'm unfamiliar with the typical channel depths in these areas. How far up river is the tidal influence? Given the flat terrain and 30+ foot tides, I imagine that a lot of gettting...

Recreational or sport fishing small craft, single level open with a single helm control station and no cabin structure. Where do you prefer to have the helm located? Your choices include center or side console on the lateral plane and aft (stern), amidships, or forward (bow) on the...

Can anyone point toward a resource that shows snowmachine trails from the Big Lake or Knik areas running down the West Side of Cook Inlet to the Kustutan area?

Anyone have any good recommendations for online snowmachine parts suppliers? Need to pick up some generic stuff like Mikuni jets and carb rebuild parts, fuel pumps, choke cables, and similar types of items. Snow is coming soon and I have 2 older sleds I've pulled out of the bushes to get...

This guy did...

I disagree. The Garmin Alaska Enhanced is a far better map set for Alaska. It has 24K maps where available and much better feature detail everywhere in between. Night and day difference between the two. Take a look at the following comparison between the north america basemap, Topo USA, and...

Early this morning, a pair of massive avalanches shut down the Richardson Highway. One up in Thompson Pass and another down in Keystone Canyon. These slides each covered the road in 30 to 40 feet of snow. The Canyon slide effectively dammed off the Lowe River. The Valdez area has been hit...

Just FYI folks... Multiple, massive avalanches from Keystone Canyon up through Thompson Pass have shut down the Richardson. Snow of up to 40 feet deep is blocking the road and DOT reports conditions too hazardous for their crews to continue work on clearing the roads, so they have backed out...

The official annoucement by the State will be in about 8 hours, but I want to make my prediction. After carefully analyzing the stats, the markets, and our state and national economic situations, I predict that this year's PFD is going to be a bill to every applicant to pay $20,000 back to the...

Been a lot of speculation over the last year, especially since the announcement that Cat will be phasing out the Suzuki motors. But now Cat has added their in-house C-TEC2 dual stage direct injection 2-stroke motor to the lineup. Built in their Minnesota plant with domestic parts. A unique...

Garmin Topo Maps Garmin Topo Maps Here is a comparison of 3 of the Garmin maps from the same area around Eureka. Top one is the basemap, middle is the Topo 2008 (DVD), and the bottom is the Alaska Enhanced (SD Card). The top 2 views are from the last version of MapSource, the bottom one is...

As you drive down Dayville road and pass the hatchery, hydro-plant and the bridge, you'll have the long straight stretch. Usually decent fishing within an hour or two each side of high tide, but the area is very shallow. As soon as the tide hits the base of the rip-rap, stop fishing and walk...
