Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska September Sheep/Moose Hunt - Need Advice

Sounds like you bagged a damn nice ram, congrats to you as I know they don't come easy.

I've only seen a few moose that were above sheep and they were headed somewhere, if you get my drift.

The area I hunt is a virtual Alaska hunters paradise......when it's not infested with other hunters during moose season.

Took a friend in there in '97 after I shot a respectable 57" bull moose, he had never hunted a day in his life. We never even made it out of moose camp when we spotted a small band of 5 heavy sheep. Thinking they might be rams we decided to go for it. 8 hours later a beautiful 40" ram was laying on the ground. Was one of the best stalks i've ever put on a game animal.

I love happy endings....;)

Hey Randy you got the girls doing rub and tugs after a haircut now? I'm lookin pretty shaggy these days ! he he he

I must have some real dumb girls on staff Dean, I keep asking for a little trim and my hair just gets shorter and shorter...WTF?


are or when you coming up this year to slam bowinkle?

I'm gonna be in and outa town, gonna take the boy down to the cabin for his b'day and see if the slow moving, gangly thang can pop a moose.

then later in the month gonna go on a float with my pard and 2 other guys we used to work with in the field.

but give a jingle when/if you hit town, I can probably stand another Peartini (grin) but man I only drank two of em, what a hangover those bastids give!

Randy , I'm probably gonna get in there late night on the 11th and heading home around the 27th.Gotta find a better place for prime rib though that stuff at the turtle was boot leather.lol

should be in town around the 11th Dean, do you fly out the next day?


and should be gettin home the 26th or 27th from the float


hope it works out, it would be good to see ya again and be reminded of why all the girls wouldn't give me a 2nd look after they spied you.

Go with a heavier bullet, even for sheep. Holds more energy down range and is less effected by wind. Just sight it in so you are point blank at 300 and you're good to go. My .02.

You are off base on your thinking about the 180s loosing % and getting down to 125-140. When a bullet looses a % of it weight the lost parts of the bullet fragment and do more dammage. I would go with a 180 grain Accubind and you will have plenty of punch at all ranges and you will not be able to tell the difference in trajectory.

Randy , no going in on the 13-14 weather pending . Gonna have a saturday night stay over on both ends. Unless , unless I get out early then I may fly down to Anc and drive down to the K Penn for stealhead and bows or see about finding someone with a boat still in the water to do some butt fishing.

Who's this Max? If you all don't mind, could you pass a little more info my way. I'm seriously considering a Dall hunt. I'm always looking for info on good guides.

Thanks

PM sent.

Sounds like Max Schwab out of Talkeetna.
