Getting Set for Alaska
«

August 09, 2018, 06:07:14 PM »
I am getting ready for a moose hunt in Alaska, and plan to take both sets of six arrows. As beautiful as they are, I will soon remove the matched broadheads to shaft and stuff the arrows into a 1.5 inch PVC pipe for air travel. No worries, the fletching will pop back to life once removed and mounted in my quiver. Lots of rain and wet may be in their future. Have fun this fall guys and gals. Mike

I really like that yellow fletching. That would look good spinning towards a big bull. Good luck.

Those arrows are so good looking, the critters may just drop dead looking at them. Be sure to take pictures and share your trip, enjoy.

Best of luck Mike, have safe and enjoyable trip.
You were right, 36” for the decoy antlers was too small. I reordered a new print at 60”. Thanks for the help.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Arrows look awesome Mike. Only way to make them look better is covered with blood. Best of luck and be safe. Looking forward to the stories.

Good luck Mike, got no doubts about success of the hunt. With or without moose coming home with you, it is good for the soul to be alone sometimes...

Thanks guys. The yellow fletch is and dip is really chartreuse and really pop in real life. The photos do not depict that.
Walt, Most often you will only need one antler to flash. Be careful with them. I have had friends charged, and even one gored my a bull (see the chapter in my book). As traditional hunters seek closeness, the antler is a tool of last resort should the bull pinpoint your calling and lock-up. I will share my story, and this year is one of the first time in decades I wont't be hunting alone in September on a back-country hunt. I will be hunting with Brian Wessel from Tall Tines bows and we both hope for a great experience. Mike

I came off a cool hunt last year, and spent the off season editing and produce my solo moose hunting film "Chasing Solitude", and this year as usual I will be filming as much as possible. Hunting with Brian will also be a big plus in that regard, as he has a lot of experience filming much of his hunting.
