My daughter decided she wanted to go to Alaska to get married a couple weeks ago. We managed to get a day on the Kenai as well for the sockeye run. Had a great trip. We could have caught double but willingly stopped short of our limit of 6 each.

My wolves, It's was never the most extreme or difficult hunting but took far more time than anything else to finally connect. 3 dedicated trips and several tags on other trips just in case.

My remington 700 xcr in 7mm Remington mag shooting barnes 160gr tsx. I've got nicer rifles but that's the one that travels with me the most as it just feels right. Dozens of animals in multiple states and countries.

Mike at westtexashunt did have some self guided hunt options on some of his properties in the past. I've hunted with him twice way back when fully guided was only 2500

I took my wolves in Ontario. The baited hunts are a bit cheaper with success claimed around 50 to 60%. That said the first time I went 4 guys went 0%. But that includes 1 miss and I myself didn't fire When I had a shot thinking I would get a better shot. Big mistake. All told I sat about...

I'm patiently watching the construction on the old Safeway building. That's a 5 mile drive for me. I was actually in junction yesterday but didn't see this post until just now.

I've only killed 1 moose. Fairly close the the road in Newfoundland. 3 guys getting it out that day. Personally not something I ever want to have to do alone. When i killed caribou in Alaska i actually took photos for further proof after I was done removing all the meat.

A few

At my age and income i decided more is better. Taking Africa out of the equation I've been gong somewhere at least once a year. Generally 5k and under with airfare. Double that every couple years. So in the past 5 years I've hunted Alaska, Canada, South Africa, Greenland, England and...

I'll take the armscor. Sending pm

I've hunted with Mike at west texas org 4 times and always have a great time. But that was before prices went up. Aoudad twice for under 2500, blackbuck 1800, Corsican were 350. I have an axis curse, went twice but still haven't killed one. Current prices aren't worth it to me anymore...

I was there a few weeks ago. Definitely on my do again list

Thank you, I'll google that up. Return will likely be 3 years so I've plenty of time to research.
