Kodiak sitka blacktail
Ive hunted kodiak multiple times. Did it last year mid october which was bad timing for a bowhunt. We killed a couple deer and caribou but i much prefer hunting later in nov or early. You should be hitting it when the bucks are chasing- good timing. Problems with bears are over exaggerated-...- Beendare

NV elk units 161-164, 171-173 early rifle
There is an outfitter that has a drop camp at the top of the range...but I don't think they will let you use it for elk...only early archery; Timberline outfitters. There are 2 timberlines in Nev....one is out east.....this one is out of tonopah I think and one of the guys name is Pard- great... -

2014 Alaska Moose
I think my true feelings on these dirt bag outfitters doesn't come through on my posts as I try to be a positive guy, and I'm prepared for stuff to go wrong so it rarely shocks me. I can tell you if I was sitting in a camp for 3 days with no guide I would be on my sat phone to the AKFG...- Beendare

Kuiu Island Bear & Fishing Trip
Your initial post gave me a snicker- sorry. i would caution you when judging by looking at a map and seeing the islands "close by" One of the hairiest things I've ever done was crossing those straights in a 34' boat when the wind kicked up- green water coming over the cabin- nasty. You have...- Beendare

Bow setup for 2015 elk hunt
Of course you will get a lot of, 'this is what i shot my elk with'. Elk are much bigger and thicker critters than whitetails- of course but also their hide is much thicker with the possibility of dried mud which can dull some BH designs like the over the top mech or shorter fixed heads. First... -
Moose Hunting Alaska
You can get a couple of cheap pulley at any arborist supply- 2 of those give you amazing pulling power and you won't have the friction of the one at the link. I have the Kuiu jacket and a HH jacket. The problem with the Kuiu jacket is its cut too short. The real deal is that 3/4 length Helly...- Beendare

2014 Alaska Moose
OK. I couldn't tell by the story some of the exact details. Some of these deals can be a little sketchy when someone is offering you a deal- all kinds of quirky circumstances. Hey, I know...and said as much Tom Shankster is not the guy you want to hunt with - even if he offers you a great deal...- Beendare

Advice for GMU 78 CO bowhunt.
The areas you mention get some pressure so you have to find the pockets they escape to. Piedra cr has lots of private so make sure you know where you are in there. -
Is it possible? Elks nose vs Thermals vs Elevation....
No magic number in my experience. Sometimes you can get above them in a tight draw that funnels your scent past them if they are on a ridge coming up. Sometimesyou can time it to pop in front of them right as the thermals are turning when out just starts to warm. Elk have incredible noses and... -
2014 Alaska Moose
I sheep hunted with Tom Shankster in 2010 and I can see why guys have a bad taste after hunting with him. No doubt Tom is a bad outfitter- overpromising, unorganized...but some of the things you mentioned are just part of being dropped off in Alaska- stuff happens. I bought a sheep hunt at the...- Beendare
