@@jacknanuq6119 two of us had the Simms G3 wader pants and one had the Simms G3 chest waders. I think we all had the Simms flyweight boots, which were great for hiking. I’m a big fan of the wader pants because I have no interest in crossing water that is more than waist deep.

@@taggedoutdoors THANKS

Indeed. Dude is carrying 3 rounds, no expedient reload. One decent hit, one miss, one garbage hit. Clearly had no plan or intentions after his 3, was just going to sit there and chat; then hits the wrong end with buddy's blaster.

@@Deedeedee214 they had a misfire that could have killed someone and their muzzle control is like a 3-year old with a water gun. I can’t believe the lack of self-awareness to post this and be proud of it. The only way I’d post this is with a narrative of “I made 10 mistakes and I promise to be better.” My goodness.

@PNW-GuyDudeman we don't rise to an occasion, we default to our training competency. A select few, however, believe that a credit card overcomes that.

@@jlm4836 thank you for the kind words. We’re so glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! The Seek Outside Tipi was great, and the liners worked well. I definitely recommend two liners to cover the entire area. The only place we didn't have the liner covering was the door area, and there was a lot of condensation on the door panel every morning. Is your trip in two years with Renfro's?

Thanks Tim!

@@inspiredoutdoors7371 thanks Mark!

@@zacharybell5496 we used the 12-man from Seek Outside. Probably not necessary for 3 guys, but we were able to comfortably fit the 3 of us and all of our gear, even with the wood stove and a stack of firewood.

If a typical Alaska storm hit, that tent would have collapsed or blown away 😂

@@jacobsauerbry How’d you guys do? We came back out with 2 full tubs of mountain house, so I’m glad we at least got that tub to you guys before you took off!

@@taggedoutdoorsWe had a lot of meals left lol. We got one on day 4 and the other on day 8. We are going up again next year so we will put them to good use!

@@jacobsauerbry Awesome, congrats on the successful hunt! Were you rebooked already before the hunt, or was Sharon able to get you back in for next year?

@@taggedoutdoorswe booked 3 years in a row a few years ago when we first booked. This was our first year. Might continue after that, not real sure yet. Moose hunting is the ultimate hunt in our books and Renfros is probably the best outfitter I’ve ever used. Can’t say enough nice things about everyone we met up there. Such a great group of people.

@@taggedoutdoors We booked 3 years in a row when we first booked a few years back. Might keep going after that who knows lol. We met a guy that’s gone 12 years now

Our hunt dates were Sept 12-24, but we were in Bethel early enough on the 11th (and with good weather) to be able to get flown in that day. We ended up getting picked up on the 18th after we tagged out early. You'll be very happy with Renfro's. Those guys are top notch across the board. I'd be happy to give you a little bit of insight as to what to expect if you've never been out with them before.

@@taggedoutdoors sounds good! We're headed out sept. 9. That would be amazing to talk! how can we trade info?

@@jaycee.308 the ones we have are called the “Bull Magnet” alaskaremote.com/product/bull-magnet-guide-model

You can buy that in ANY Sportmans Warehouse or Cabelas or 3 Bears in Alaska.

@@PNW-GuyDudeman to help with your recap… 1) We all only carried 3 rounds in our rifles, because that’s the max capacity unless you carry one in the chamber, which we didn’t feel was safe. It doesn’t take much in the bush to potentially bump the safety and then subsequently the trigger. As for being in bear country, we didn’t see a single bear (brown nor black) or any bear sign. Even so, we all had 10mm handguns for bear protection. Additionally, as non-residents, none of us could shoot a brown bear unless in imminent danger to life or property. Anyone who could get off more than 3 shots from a rifle in an “imminent danger” situation wasn’t in imminent danger. 2) The first shot was double lung. The bull was dead at that point. I guess we could have let him die slowly at that point, but we decided not to. The second shot was in the neck. Dead again, even on its own. Shots 3 and 4 were indeed misses, but I don’t think the trees in the background minded. Shot 5 hit him in the rear as he was walking away, and he dropped there. I guess we could have a discussion about the ethics of firing additional rounds into a dying animal in order to speed the dying process. We think it’s appropriate, but maybe you disagree. 5) All 3 of our rifles were “sighted in” or “zeroed” for 200 yards. With the first gun, on a 350 yard shot, he had to hold high to compensate for bullet drop. The second gun used on that bull had a scope with a CDS (custom dial system) that got adjusted realtime to the 350 yard shot distance, so there was no need for additional adjustment for bullet drop. 6) The trigger pull on rifle #2 is much lighter than on #1. The shooter hadn’t previously shot anyone’s rifle but his own, which I suspect is pretty typical, but maybe that’s a good consideration for future hunts. I’d argue it wasn’t a “misfire” but rather a poorly aimed shot down range because it fired with minimum trigger pull while placing the crosshairs where he wanted them… on a moving animal at 350 yards. We did indeed laugh about the situation after the fact while recapping the hunt with a friend. I can assure you that if there was a dangerous situation, there wouldn’t have been any laughter. 7) I’m guessing you’ve never harvested a moose, or you would understand that the real work does indeed happen after the bull goes down. This statement is in reference to the field processing and packing out of a 1,000 lb animal. Any hunter who has ever harvested a moose shares in that mentality. It has nothing to do with level of preparation before the hunt. Thanks for watching.

I would agree with you. The second bull, they didn't have game bags, and only 1 knife. Never seen so much disregard for the awareness of a muzzle. Why would you try and talk your buddy out of shooting a bull because the packers out would be too hard??

@@donemanuel6080 I followed up with a comment they deleted. Shocker. Ive never shot a moose but ive put enough animals in the dirt to know a good operation. This is a disaster of an operation. I didn’t even notice that muzzle control. Unreal. And they’re recapping this story over a fire like it’s a job well done. Crazy to me. You shouldn’t be hunting if it takes you 5 shots and 2 guns to put an animal down.

Todd, welcome to putting great, real life content on TH-cam….you get critiqued by some clowns living in their mom’s basements who apparently are perfect 😂😂

@@inspiredoutdoors7371 just saw this comment. I’m not some inexperienced anti-hunter. I’m 1000% a hunter. And this is a disgrace. Your comment in the affirmative of this “real life footage” only confirms you’re a joke of a hunter, too. I mean honestly… do you watch this video and really think this was an ethical hunt? You think the misfire and muzzle control are positive examples? You think this is a positive representation of the hunting community? No. It’s an absolute disgrace. Have a backbone, pal.

@@kenaidog6974 Renfro’s handles the flight logistics and coordination. Everything between flight drop off and pickup is DIY. The alternative would be a guided hunt where you have a guide, packer, etc, in the field with you and they provide everything but personal gear. Renfro’s does offer guided hunts as well, and I bet they’re exceptional. Unless you live in AK and own your own plane, or you hunt an area that’s accessible by truck, a guided hunt or a DIY hunt through a commercial air service are really your only options. Much different than hunts out west where you can park your truck at a trailhead and hike in.

@@taggedoutdoors I didn't see any life jackets that are required by law. Needed or not. What was the cost to get all the meat from three moose out of state?

@@kenaidog6974 we did actually have 3 life jackets. We haven’t gotten the shipping bill yet, but I’m sure it will be more than I’d like to admit. We’re having everything processed in Anchorage and then shipping via refrigerated semi at the end of the season.
