At home it had been a relatively dry winter. Sounds like it’s making up for it now. 36 and raining the last couple of days but that kind of forecast brings snow above 4000 feet which will help.Tucson is simply warm and sunny. Hit 90 last week for a couple of days but only into the high 60s...

Good to see you’re finding your way around.

Bugs!!!!!!!

Every time I read Guys post I remind everyone there are two sides to a successful hunt. I’ve know Joey since he was little, I doubt there is a better hunter working as a guide in Alaska. To paraphrase Joey’s opinion of Guy “IF every one was as ready to hunt and understood that it’s an adventure...

My experience is similar to Rhinos, particularly with woman. There are a number of sound tactical reasons to shoot with both eyes open and with a bit of practice the dominate eye still takes over sight alignment. I had most of my swat guys shooting both eyes open back to about 25 yards with no...

I agree with Tony on the weather. Mid August is traditionally the best weather during the summer. ADFG is really trying to reduce bear numbers in that unit, they are playing hell with the moose calves.

Think about being in your pick up location a day or two early. I would guess Dillingham but regardless, nothing like spending two or three days of your hunt waiting on weather. Dillingham or King Salmon are just not that exciting. Talk to your guide if he thinks that might be viable. We have a...

August is early for hides but ideal for finding bears on salmon. The conflicts are guys like me flying into remote streams to fish for the trout and Grayling following the silvers and sockeye into the streams. I would talk to your outfitter about that. I worked mostly down in area 9. I don't...

Not necessarily did not fill tags but people who had a bad experience, iron that out. Did the client have a bad hunt because the outfitter didn't do his job, because of environmental conditions or because the client didn't do his part. Check with the State, and if he operates on Federal ground...

Only hunted there twice in the last 10 years. I had no problem using Oregons on line hunter safety card. Have a great hunt.

Hiked in the Chiricahua national monument today. A moderate hike of about 5 miles with about 1000 feet of elevation gain. This place is spectacular. Hoodoo rock formations are relatively common throughout the mountain west but these are the best I’ve ever seen. Don’t pass on the opportunity to...

We hit Douglas Spring last week. Warmed up on us pretty quick. There really is no excuse for not getting out and exercising around here.

Looks like Oklahoma is treating you well, glad to see you’re out having fun!

Well that is a nice kit. I left mine in Alaska when I retired from guiding. That’ll get someone started just about right.

Bryan, welcome aboard. I have fired no more than a box of shells through a 303 Lee Enfield in my life. No help to you there. I am a big fan of Rl. 17 in several cartridges. I’ve no idea if it is a good choice for your application but I’m sure some one here will help. I do note you are writing...
