Biggest…when?
One of these years soon I need to go elk hunting again. Been a while. I killed my best bull in 2008. Only hunted elk a couple times since, and have mostly just focused on hunting in AK. I've shot a couple dozen elk, but still miss September bugles. I know it's a whole different ballgame in the... -
ISO Affordable, quality lightweight sleeping bag.
I have 4-5 different bags. My most used one is a Marmot 10deg down. They don't make the same model anymore, it's 20 years old but still kicking stong. I've never been cold in that bag, and usually sleep under it like a quilt. If I was shopping today I'd buy a Marmot Helium. I would go check...- Bambistew

Alaska's Rivers Of Rust.
Its an interesting situation and will be even more interesting to see how it plays out over time. ARD is a complex beast and just because we are seeing this now doesn't mean it won't flush out and stabilize at a much lower level.

School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country
Don't let baranoia keep you out of the woods. I've never used a bear fence, and often cook in my tent... I know tempting fate. The bears that will get you are the ones you surprise on the bush. They aren't coming in looking to eat you in camp.- Bambistew

ID nonres sheep/Moose/Goat apps?
Can't your son apply for a NR "adult" tag? I guess I'm not sure why NR youth need to have any priority. If I remember right NM is one of the only places that offer youth tags for animals other than deer/elk, but I could be wrong.- Bambistew

Arbitrary Hunting Goals
Id like to shoot a few more animals/species with my muzzle loader. Like a brown bear, moose and a sheep. I had a goal of shooting 12 rams, almost there.- Bambistew

Alaska Super Seven Big Game Raffle/Brown Bear
I'm not sure what I would do, TBH. All three tags have their own challenges and rewards. I'd love to have a Chugach bear tag, not as big but a very cool experience. Id imagine it would be way cheaper as a NR too.- Bambistew
