[QUOTE="dluehrs, post: 3084590, member: 115673"] I am going on my hunt of a lifetime this September in Alaska for moose. The goal is for a 60” or larger bull. I bought a tikka 3X lite .300 wsm 24.3” stainless steel barrel and topped it with a Leupold vx-5HD 3-15X44 using a spuhr one piece mount and shooting factory (sorry reloading community) 200 grain Federal Terminal Ascent. Started planning this trip during covid and just bought place tickets on Tuesday. Flying into Fairbanks and then out into the bush for up to three weeks. Landing in a lake, portaging a half mile to a river to start our hunt, around 15 miles of river, and then a mile back out to another lake about one mile portage to get picked up and flown back out. Just me and a good friend. Also, bringing my 44 mag for grizzly protection, if needed. I will turn 54 years old during that hunt, had a kidney transplant around 14 years ago and I’m doing well. This will certainly be my last chance to do a hunt like this for several reasons. Working on getting in better shape every day and I’ve spent the last couple of years refining gear. Keeping things light so will be sleeping in a hammock. No sleeping bag only a down over and under quits(s). I have tested and good down to 20°. Wish I could get a grizzly and wolf tag, but the thought of packing out to moose and all of our gear that distance combined with the additional costs are going to limit me to a moose. My advice to anyone would be start planning, saving and preparing well in advance, and make your dream a reality. [/QUOTE]
