Great read, thanks!

If you fail to report on a hunt in AK, you are not allowed to apply for any special permits the following year. I think you should be happy you were fined only $50.

Just to clarify, 70 North is a TRANSPORTER, not an outfitter...There is a big difference. I have been TRANSPORTED by 70 North several times and have had good experiences although I have yet to fly in or out on the dates I wanted, but that is what happens given the variable AK weather and 70...

Very nice video.

Congrats, Brian!

You can also try shooting a mechanical broadhead, such as a Rage expandable, instead of a fixed blade broadhead. I have found the Rage expandable broadhead shoots the same as a field point.

I live here in AK and I think you did well on your bou hunt. Coming up here for the first time on a hunt is an eye opener for everyone. Thankfully, much of it gets far easier after the first time! Nice photos, and congrats on the successfull hunt.

I have not hunted in 501, but many years ago I hunted 590 for several years in a row. 590 is southwest of 501. Antelope are not typically well-liked by ranchers. If you are willing to drive out there and knock on doors before season, I bet you'll find a few ranches who will let you hunt...

Hunting wolf here in AK is also 90% luck unless you have a plane, spot them, and then pursue them from the ground in that area. For this reason I know very few hunters who specifically target them...hunters, no, trappers, yes. Good luck to you

That is a really nice set, and your son should be very proud. I would like to see a photo of the set together, if possible. Do not let the negative folks out there get you down. They are the downside to posting anything on the net, and the reason I very rarely post these days.

I have found moose antlers in water, but if they are buried in the muck I don't bother with them because their quality suffers too much.

I and my family have been on the Phillip's 26 Glacier Cruise out of Whittier twice in the past 5 years and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sent out of state friends on it this summer and they also enjoyed it; saw puffins, otters, whales (even one orca) and of course, 26 glaciers :). Bear in mind most...

i do not know the timing of your hunt, but the end of august is a good time to go to avoid insects. the downside is weather may quickly become winter-like, so there is a risk, but the same risk exists anytime on the N Slope. i am not trying to rain on your parade, but several of the...

it looks like you are doing a great job integrating your family into your passion, and they are enjoying it, nicely done!
