Alaska hunting is definitely on the bucket list. Looks pretty damn demanding, and pretty damn rewarding. Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for this thread, this man is truely living a dream.
As I remember from my trip loong ago, the dream turns pretty fast into a nightmare if the weather changes, you find steaming bear poo on your way to the bush potty (entrenching tool, some paper and matches in a bag)
Ah, good times.....

Re: waggs 4570's Alaska pics
When I watch the TV hunting shows I always get cranked when the successful hunter whoops and hollers and high-fives everybody.
Hunting is serious business - a life has been taken. I like a guy who doesn't smile too much.
Although in that pic where he's on the blue tarp, he does look like he's thinking about smiling.
And as far as Alaska being on the "bucket list," DO NOT wait. I've hunted Alaska and it's a tough hunt. A lot of guys say "Oh, when I have more time or more money, I'll go." Well, unless you're independently wealthy, it's rare if those two conditions coincide. By that time, your body may not be in good shape and you won't be able to go, or you won't enjoy it fully. I'm not saying to sell the farm, but I am saying don't wait for tomorrow because it may not come.

Re: waggs 4570's Alaska pics
Wow great pics. Those look like amazing hunts. I will be glad when I can go on a hunt like that. That is a great looking grizz in the first pic. I have always wanted to hunt one of these.

Great pics!Can't imagine what it would be like to guide for the big bears! What rifle's are you using for backup and for your personal hunts?

Re: waggs 4570's Alaska pics
NMpistolero, The rifle i carry all the time is a Beretta Mato
caliber 375H&H magnum also have a CZ 550 in the same caliber with a Mcmillan stock on it.I use this even for deer hunting on
Kodiak,Rasberry island when not guiding.Less meat damage on smaller animals but if you have a bear problem it's nice to have
a rifle in a bigger caliber.The Beretta weighs in at 8#11oz. with scope.I shoot a Barnes 270 TSX bullet with a load of H4895
Enjoy...waggs

I was discussing a possible move for a year or two to ALaska, I think this is a sign.

Re: waggs 4570's Alaska pics
Waggs4570, what is the load you use in the .329 PD? I have the same pistol and a similar holster. I've shot the BTB 280 WFN GC with little success (read accuracy).
