We've dropped a lot of deer over 150lbs. I've never put them on a scale but I sure can't pick them up! Packing one out figure about about 60-80lbs on the bone of a big buck. Usually comes in around 50ish for a boned out buck. I've weighed hind quarters of 20lbs on the bone. Had clients that have...

I wish I could think a bull like that would make it with all the airplane traffic we have nowadays. It I see a moose like that having someone camped on him for weeks prior to the opener. Or maybe the night before the opener?! If that was today they woulda confiscated that moose and the...

I used to run guided trapping trips for my clients. It was a riot! Started trapping as a little Guy and it's by far a passion! If I had a smaller litter of kids I'd do more Of it!!

Sat with butch king riding backseat quite a bit and listened to some of the polar bear action as well. Luckily I've got one little Eskimo boy who would like him a white bear someday...

I've fallen outa the sky in a cub and that wasn't my favorite day. But both pilot and I walked away....a good landing.... It's great to see and hear old stories and photos of alaskas guiding history, so many residents are trying to crack down on the guide industry that in certain circles it's a...

When I get clients that start ripping off stories I tell them I've already heard them all and that only thing they need to do to impress me is shoot Straight when it's time. Aside from the client that shot a croc in a park that had a poacher half hanging out of its mouth. Or the hunter who had...

Havalon for everything! If you can't field dress a moose with one your not using it properly. I carry a fixed blade just in case but it's only cut bagels in the last three years and a couple dozen alaska animals later.

One of my children is alaska Eskimo and polar bear is on his list locally. After seeing quite a few of them in the wild a fair chase on foot spot and stalk hunt would give these animals the respect they deserve. No way could I shoot one surrounded by dogs. Seen several videos of this style...

Kodiak brown bear can be an insane hunt. Dall sheep are usually easier. Mt goat can be a killer as well.

One thing that rarely gets mentioned when discussing bear back up handguns is the purpose of a side arm. It's not there to pile drive that bear, or pole axe him, not to face plant him or knock him tip over tea kettle, it's to prevent bodily damage from happening to you or those around you. To...

I guide for grizzly and Kodiak brown bear here at home. But dang. If it was my personal choice I'd still skip over Africa for a big bear of my own! No animal Is as amazing as the grizzly/brown bear for me!

It was last light, bear came into a gut pile from a caribou some guys had shot the day before. We got to about 80 yards with just minutes of light left and dropped her. Left it till the next morning. Squares right at 7'. Very fat and the hair was amazing good!

Sometimes, you can go to the most crowded hunting area you can find, and sometimes come out looking good, sometimes you can outsmart animals acclimated to human activity, sometimes drop them 800 yards from the tent, give them a ride home with you and go home happy.... But.....ya gotta go try....

Any partitioned bullet is great. Love the nosler/bear claw/a frame/tsx all good.

Client made three good hits with the Berger and we got fantastic tissue damage. But zero broken bones, it was almost like those bullets exploded but because the fragments were So small they didn't have the power to destroy bone. I found a few pieces here and there. All flat and flimsy. Massive...

Spot and stalk grizzly hunt on the tundra. Hard to beat when it all lines up. Guy was shooter Berger bullets in his 338 RUM. I was not impressed with them at all. First client I've had with them. Sorry if the grizz threads are getting old....

Grizzly up north can't stand the rain it seems. Only ever got a couple in the wet. Maybe it's just me that don't like the rain!! Ha

280 would work just fine. Dropped my first brownie with my .270. Bear sure didn't complain.

Five days in the field, saw five grizzly. Finally found one we could get to, walking right towards us 600 yards from the tent!! Two shots, second was just insurance. 375hh at 130 yards or so. Easiest pack all season!! Not a huge grizz, probably just shy of 7'. But client was thrilled, beauty of...

Well I usually only do two sheep hunts a year, this years first was a father and son. The weather was horrible, rain and then some extra rain to make sure the first rain stuck and some good dense fog to make sure the second rain worked. We had a few openings in the weather that we saw several...
