I recognize that my report is in stark contrast to the other reports people have submitted regarding their experiences with Juan Pace. I've no reason to doubt any of them, and I offer no defense or even comment on his conduct when it didn't include me. My sole intention in posting here was to...

Excellent advice from "wildwilderness"! I would totally endorse that itinerary. Another point to be made about going farther south on Kodiak is the chance to hunt caribou, with an over-the-counter tag. (ADFG categorizes this population as "feral reindeer", since they are the legacy of a...

The first thing I'd like to mention is that a guide is not necessary for non-resident deer hunters in Alaska, so you can do a drop-off hunt on your own. "Nonresidents who hunt brown/grizzly bear, Dall sheep, or mountain goat must be personally accompanied in the field by an Alaska-licensed...

Update: Just picked up my first trophy shipment from this safari. These are the three plains game animals we got in South Africa. (The Mozambique shipment is delayed due to getting an amended CITES permit for the leopard with the correct exporter name and address.) I used Tophy Solutions and...

This is the "fish box" that is stocked by the thousands across Alaska every summer. It's a waxed, heavy duty, corrugated cardboard design carried by every big box store and supermarket in the State. Line it with plastic, pack it with frozen fish, duct tape the cover on, and check it as luggage...

Thanks for the report! It was very well written and you had my full attention the whole time. I love getting the whole story. The photos were excellent too. That blackbuck has amazing horns - incredible mass! The antler "character" of your second stag is really cool and makes it a true...

Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck with no room for extra expenses, BUT for those of us with a positive income/expense ratio who are able to save and budget even big purchases are feasible. My associates who finance $100,000 trucks think African safaris are "too expensive", which is...

I enjoy looking through the catalog of hunts that outfitters donate to fundraisers. They introduce me to places and/ or species that I may not have considered before, and there's the allure of being able to secure a more affordable experience through the auction format. They can be a...
