Thanks guys, great advice. I'll respond more as I get time.

I felt like maybe I was unintentionally hi-jacking the other moose thread so I thought I should start a new one. I'm going on my first moose hunt with Papa Bear Outfitters out of Bethel AK this September 19-29th. I'll take any advice I can get on preparation (physical and other), hunting...

I kept telling myself to be patient on the In Reach technology and good GPS technology would get included in the units making for one less item I needed to carry. I think they are there now. It really doesn't eliminate an item as much as it adds a 2nd GPS for me now as I always carry my I...

I am slow to change on some of it, but I'm warming up to technology. I love the Onx Maps program on my I phone for a GPS I've been using.

Will do, thanks.

Thanks we will look into that. We have also looked at the Garmin In-Reach devices with the GPS and satellite text capability in one unit. I asked about the fishing and he said it's really not worth packing fishing gear that time of year. You are right about him putting you where he is seeing...

The new Hornady PRC looks interesting to me. Pushing a 143gr bullet at 2900fps+ from a new case that's designed for precision rifle shooting. If my older 264WM ever needs retired I might give one a try. https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/rifl ... -hunter#!/

That's what I found with the ones from my 264. We will see on these I guess, I'm going to try to shoot some coyotes with them and see what they do. I would like to get one facing me or running straight away pretty close, have lots of coyote to expand in.

Just curious if anyone had used this bullet yet. I picked up a box of the Precision Hunter ammo with it on sale on a whim and my M70 custom 25-06 proceeded to put 5 of them in a half inch group. I'm considering giving it a try on game. I want to get them shot over the chronograph and then if...

A friend took a big Wyoming bull with the 150gr LRAB from his 7 mag at 407yds a few years back. I think he put 3 through the lungs and all exited but didn't hit any major bone. Personally I'd lean toward the 300 but sure wouldn't be scared to use the 280 either. I have seen elk soak up a...

I haven't hunted Alaska yet, but hope to pull the trigger on a moose this September. My longest shots have been on elk. The area I hunt it seems I'm either shooting across a canyon it takes hours to cross at elk feeding in a small clearing, or I have to be in the clearing with them. I haven't...

He recommended the fixed location for a first moose hunt, so we went that route. Don't argue with the expert! We have a lot of experience running shallow sandy rivers in a surface drive boat catfishing holes nobody can reach with an outboard, canoed, camped and fished in the Algonquin park...

Going with Papa Bear Outfitters out of Bethel. He is basically a transporter who pre-scouts areas while guiding fishermen. He will fly us out in a float plane and dump us out for 10 days to hunt on our own. It seemed to be the best option I could afford. It's more than a full DIY but far...

Good luck. I'm headed to AK on my first moose hunt also. 300WM with 180gr Accubonds will be accompanying me. My wife better not find out about your hunt. We just got WY antelope for our honeymoon!

I have an Outdoorsmans head on a Promaster 525T I use as my optics and shooting platform. I like the tripod because one leg unscrews to make a trekking pole (walking stick). I have used the Outdoorsmans rifle rest in the past: https://outdoorsmans.com/collections/tr ... rifle-rest But I...

Its an addictive gun to shoot. After struggling with consistent hits on 300yd 28oz Gatorade bottles full of water with the AR in a little wind I grabbed the 264 it got easy. Dial the range, hold the edge into the 10mph wind, and blow them up. I am taking the AR and the 264 to the coyote hunt...

Well I got the 264 back out at the end of antlerless season to take a doe. I shot her facing me at 321yds as the sun went down. I tried several times to wait for a broadside shot but she wouldn't stop long enough to get on her as a buck was following her around. She finally moved off from him...

I've used that 85gr Sierra quite a bit and found it easy to make shoot in lots of rifles. I also seem to get speed and accuracy from it easier than the 87-90gr polymer tipped bullets for some reason. It's not the highest BC or flashiest bullet but it seems to kill the heck out of things. It...

I think taking a mature public land muley during the early October Wyoming rifle season is the most challenging I've personally done. Young bucks are pretty easy, but the ones that have been around 5 seasons or more are not. I live 11-14 hours from the low point units I've hunted and I can...
