[QUOTE="thekyrifleman, post: 912302, member: 67984"] Thanks Wild Rose, Unfortunately no moose. This was a hunt with a life long friend of mine who has lived in AK since the early 70's. First off, we had a nearly 10 day wait due to weather, 100 mph wind coming into Anchorage,(we were in Fairbanks) and could not fly. He has a Super Cub. Eventually we got in, and within a very short time saw moose, unfortunately, not legal. I think it was WMU 20 or 21, and as a non resident, bulls for me had to have 4 brow tines or exceed 50" in spread. Did see one giant a long way off, not confident enough to attempt some of the shooting that I have been reading about on this site, and in fact not really accessible due to high water, etc. after 3 days, weather started to act up again and we bailed. Never saw such ominous clouds, snow and wind as that day, coming from the south. So no moose, but a chance of a lifetime to hunt once again with a life long friend,(we met at age 9 or 10, which is 60+ years ago!), enjoy a new experience in the Alaskan bush!! PRICELESS!!! A fly in caribou hunt might be next! I attached a picture of "camp". PS...he has killed probably a dozen moose with a rebarreled Ruger number one in 7mm-08, 150 gr Sirocco II's. Bear load is 160 gr Nosler Partitions, backed up with a S&W 44. By the way, the possibility of bears, and they were there, got my attention for sure:) [/QUOTE]
