Musket,

So what you are saying that the odds suck, worse than the initial math shows.

I can not like someone be honest about it.

I never trashed him just didn't like him. Never said I wished him dead, I actually specificially said that I did not wish him dead.

It is very sad...

This is a basic guideline for sheep and goats, you will find some lower and some much more expensive.

Alaska Dall Sheep $12-25,000
Alaska Mountain Goats $7500

Yukon and NWT Dall Sheep...

I am a resident of Alaska. Barrow is my voting prescinct for that type of thing.

Maybe in the next 7 months I can find a job in Alaska, I didn't know things were that wonderful.

I decided to delete this, I personally feel I was just being honest.

My better half told me that she wouldn't have liked to have read something written about me.

Sorry to stir the emotional...

Ok, so I have been pouring over the Idaho goat info and I can't seem to find how many tags non-residents get.

Are they guaranteed to get any?

It looks like one area gave away 4 tags total and...

The only reason I subscribe to both sheep magazines is, in the past FNAWS has not done so well on highlighting foreign sheep hunts. This is starting to change, and hopefully they will continue to do...

Draw a Tok Management Tag or Chugach tag then book an outfitter like Rick French that uses horses.

I keep applying for post-military jobs in Alaska, and so far they keep coming back with a nice little letter telling me I still have too much time on my mil-contract to hire, and a not so nice part...

We have 2 Ziess Conquest and my hunting buddy has 2, for me for an inch scope they are the best.

30-34mm Scopes Ziess fights a tie with Schmidt Bender but at an inch, for the price they are...

What breed do you use?

So true, I wanted to use TRUE-DAT! But the little evil elf in the computer wouldn't let me go that short.

Never said anyone was stupid, just thought reducing a game animal to a pet was stupid.

What do you think about the concept of naming big game animals?

I personally think it is stupid, but we are not the only nation that does it. It is getting more popular in Europe as well.

Here...

Picking up the pieces one by one for my retirement rifle self-gift.

Obermeyer 30 inch AMU .338 1 in 9.5 barrel and a Manners thumbhole stock inletted for the AMU and a M700 long action. Hopefully I can find a Surgeon or Defiance action in November.

Surgeon...

I have worked in Naval Aviation for almost 17 of my 20 years. I remember the times when we got crap done and put a plane in the air, especially if it was for something big.

I don't so much...

So far next to the unemployed guys, your job is the one I want the least.

Thank you for what you do, I am glad someone does it, but it would give me the heebie jeebies.

I have first lite long sleeve long underwear shirts. They are not as comfortable as the old Duofold wool/poly blend.

I give them 4 stars out of 5.

Warm enough, but not as cozy.

That's the problem with them. The 2nd problem is you really can't ride the bastards until they are 7 or 8, as they are a little too rascally. I think you could probably pack them at 4.

As we get closer to coming home from Australia, I started thinking about getting together a string of 4-7 nags to get into the back country with.

This is how I grew up hunting elk, and to me, it's...

CC is right, never mix loading data even if you think they are close. Especially if you are new to reloading.

I like heavier bullets, I wish Nosler would make a 180 .284 Accubond.

I have a Howa 1500 I rebarreled to 280 Ackley Improved. I shoot 160 grain Nosler Accubonds.

Try H4831SC and the same Accubonds. Take a look at the Nosler website for loading data, it's free.

I am a few months from retiring from the Military, been good but really glad it's over.

This is a fairly middle class website and I think most folks on here are blue collar guys who want to do more hunting than they can afford.

I waited a very long time (until I was 36) to get...
