I accidentally found this site and decided to join since it looks like an interesting site. I've lived in Alaska for almost 45 years. I came here in early 1974 and did environmental studies during the construction of the Trans Alaska Pipeline. I've hunted moose, caribou, Dall sheep, mountain goats, and Sitka black tail deer, along with small game spruce grouse, ptarmigan, snowshoe hares, ducks and geese. I've never considered going to Africa to hunt although I do have a Remington Model 700 .375 H&H Safari grade rifle. I bought it after a bear swiped my moose but it has never been fired. I thought it would be fun to hear the stories of folks that have hunted Africa.
 
Welcome to AH longtimealaskan! Glad you found us even if it was accidental... ;) I'm certain you'll enjoy exploring the site.
 
Welcome to AH!

Welcome to AH!
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome longtimealaskan to AH! It sounds like you’ve had some excellent adventures in Alaska!
 
Welcome, you are very fortunate to live in a great place
 
Welcome to AH !
 
Thank all of you for your warm welcome. I've looked at some of the videos and other photos. I particularly liked the photo of the cougar sleeping in the tree, something I'm not likely to see here in Alaska. Not only would it be a bit to chilly but the mosquitoes would be having a picnic.
 
Hello longtimealaskan,

And, welcome to the greatest forum on earth.
What part of the Greatland do you live in ?
I’ve lived in Los Anchorage most of my adult life.
So, if you either live here in the big city as well or, if you ever visit the big city, please do look me up.

You can either PM me via the forum message feature or, my contact information is shown at the end of all my postings.
(If you’re using an I-Phone however, you have to turn it on it’s side for my regular contact info to pop up).

Best regards,
Paul.
 
Welcome to our forum longtimealaskan. As a 45 year resident of Alaska, you already have many hunting stories to share with us!
 
Welcome, sounds like you've been living the dream many of us have.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
