The Neos sourdough http://barneyssports.com/neos-sourdough-slipper-overboot.html is a good option. You may want to consider breathable chest waders with wading boots. The waders will also take the place of rain pants.

My kids have used a LH Remington 7mm-08 that came with an adjustable recoil pad (with plates) to shorten or lengthen the stock as the child grows.

Lots of airplanes that are not super cubs land on gravel bars. It depends on how long the gravel bar is, the approach, and the departure. Super cubs are great when the airstrip is short but there are lots of other planes capable of meeting your needs if the gravel bar is long enough.

I would contact a few air taxi's in Anchorage or Willow and discuss the area you are looking at. They probably have a number of lakes they have used before. Ask them about costs per hour of flight time for each type of aircraft. Two guys should be able to fit in a 185 or 206 if you don't bring...

http://www.adn.com/alaska-news/aviation/2016/09/01/ntsb-site-of-fatal-midair-collision-near-russian-mission-very-challenging/ Sad day for everyone. This happens too often in Alaska. We may never know who was at fault and maybe no one is. Here is a link to a plane crash with the same outfit from...

Surely you must know some avid hunter that would jump at the chance to go with you on your adventure. Ask yourself can I load a 150 hindquarter on my pack and then get the pack on and carry it back to camp by myself. If the bull dies in a river or lake can I butcher it in the water or get it out...

There are lots of air taxi operators that could fly to unit 16B. The length of the air strip may determine the type of aircraft that can get you in and out of there and how many trips will be required. Call Trailridge air at 907.248.0838 as a starting point. You will need to know the weight of...

Buy a high quality 4 season tent as big winds and horizontal rain are normal Kodiak weather. Bring a bombshelter type tent if you want to be able to stand up. Hillbergs are top of the line as are Terra Nova, North Face VE25. Get a tent with a large vestibule for packs and other wet gear. Your...

Another vote for the stove from China mentioned by Sagebrush. I have two and they work great. They are similar to the MSR pocket rocket but a lot cheaper. Get a titanium pot and a fuel canister and you are good to go.

Great video. Did anyone else hunt? Approximately what did the hunt cost and what would you do differently?

If you put in for some drawing permits AK Fish and Game limits the number of permits given to those hunting with Second degree Kindred. Kodiak Island is one example as is the Tok Management Area for sheep. My non resident brother has collected almost everything Alaska has to offer. I remind...

If you really want to experience Alaska there is nothing like a fly out trip. Get away from the crowds and catch fish until your arms are tired. I have used http://pbadventures.com/ for hunting and fishing trips in the past. They do a great job.

We do not have any trips planned with Papa Bear but I am sure we will in the future.

Have you heard back from PBA?

Trophy moose come from lots of areas of the state. Try Papa Bear Adventures. http://pbadventures.com/ Check with them soon as they may already be booked several years in advance.

Lots of good info provided above. Check out the packs at Barnney's Sports Chalet in Anchorage. http://barneyssports.com/backpacks/external-frame.html A lot of guides use the Barney's packs because they are very good at carrying a lot of gear for a sheep hunt. Do not buy the Eberlestock packs...

For moose you should look at http://pbadventures.com/ To be legal for sheep and brown bears a resident would need to be a close relative within the second degree of kindred. Look for the definition on page one of the draw supplement...

That stinks when your partner cancels. I have other hunts planned but send me the dates and I will look at my schedule. Thanks Steve

What area and air taxi are you going with? What are the dates for your hunt? Equipment: 1. Havalon knives 2. Wyoming saw 3. Good framed backpack 4. Helly Hansen Impertech rain gear 5. Lacross Ankle fit insulated hip boots 6. 4 season tent 7. Love Thunder Bull moose calling videos 8. Heavy...

Yes it is possible to hunt moose using 4-wheelers and then walk. Logistics can get complicated in Alaska. Lots of people own 4 wheelers, side by sides, argos, ...etc. It can be difficult to get away from other hunters on 4-wheelers. If you bring an atv be sure you are prepared with a winch and...

Congratulations on a great trophy! How far was the shot and what kind of muzzleloader did you use?

PM sent.

Great photos, awesome trophies! Share the stories if you can.

This question was recently asked in the general hunting forum. I have gone with Papa Bear Adventure and they always do a great job. http://pbadventures.com/

Hunted with Papa Bear several times. Hunted unit 18 mostly. Any bull area and I was able to take my teenage son with me in 2011. http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/showthread.php/106191-Son-s-First-Bull? Great air taxi with safe pilots and lots of options for moose. Hunted with 40 mile air for...

Another vote for HH Impertech. This is rubberized raingear so you will sweat when you climb. I also own gortex MTD 050 from Cabelas and a Marmot precip jacket. They all work in different situations but none are perfect for every situation. I ususally take two of the jackets on trips unless I am...

Beautiful bull! Please share the story of this hunt.

http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static/regulations/wildliferegulations/pdfs/gmu20.pdf Read the non resident moose hunting regulations for Unit 20. Call the biologist in Fairbanks.

Go to the rafting or float hunting forums and ask your question on this website. http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/forum.php

Nice job! What an adventure by yourself! Great pictures and congratulations!

Be prepared to take care of the meat. Have enough game bags and a plan on how you to keep the meat dry. Also read the regs on salvaging all meat and not transporting antlers from the kill site before the meat comes out. Bring a gps and know how to use it. A rangefinder and shooting sticks can...

Cottton kills. Bug dope, headnet, latex gloves, lacross ankle fit hipboots, good raingear, 4 season tent, sat phone,...etc

As a nonresident your guide should have a list for you. Think lightweight mountain hunting. Here are a few things to consider. 1. Good boots meindel, lowa, kenetrek ...etc 2. Treking poles were previously mentioned, try black diamond 3. Good lightweight raingear 4. Best optics you can afford 5...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-04-12 AT 02:57PM (MST)[p]I haven't seen the show but I do try to watch other outdoor shows filmed in Alaska. Last night I watched the Western Extreme guys hunting blacktails on Kodiak & Afognak Islands. They shot a small buck on a logging road and talked about how dangerous it...

Nothing for me but my son got a Kenai goat tag and my NR brother drew a goat on Kodiak. Looks like two goats hunts back to back.

Go with the brand that lots of Alaska hunters choose: Helly Hansen Impertech

The caribou hunting around Bethel is not what it used to be. Papa Bear is not taking bou hunters in 2012, I don't know about Renfro. Kotzebue has some excellent bou hunting.

There are several sections of the Sag River that can be floated via rafts to open up more areas to hunt away from the road/crowds. You are probably better off flying out of Happy Valley to give your group a better chance of being successful.

Awesome trip! Who did you book the trip through and approx what does a trip like this cost?
