Great video! Looking forward to part 2 and 3? Talk about bull moose numbers and age - it’s dream moose hunting area! I call the moose that I got out there “The Divorce Moose “😁
There is going to be 1 more part to this. Orin and I are also going to do a recap video where we talk about things that went well and things that could have gone better. I had an any bull tag on JBER about 5 years ago. I shot a bull when Orin came out and called for me. He was supposed to be home by noon to take his wife and kid to a birthday party. Well he didn't get home until 7 because we had to deal with the moose. Orin calls that his "divorce moose" lol.
Very nice bull. My question is what is the white experimental plane is that a jarvron 4 place cub. It almost looks like a maule with the big baggage doors. Any how nice plane.
We took off at Lake Hood, which is in Anchorage. The airspace in Anchorage is tightly controlled by multiple towers to help ensure everyone is safe. Once you get outside of major population areas you have a lot more freedom. You can more or less do what you want. There are radio frequencies to monitor depending on what area you are in so you can communicate with other pilots in the area. While collisions do happen, they are pretty rare given how many planes there are up here. When we are flying we are constantly looking for other planes. I make sure I point them out to Orin and he does the same to me. We keep an eye on them until they are no longer in our area.
How much does it cost for a flight to the hunting grounds? Is it worth using aircraft to get to spots or can you reach these areas by boat or ATV? Is it hard to judge a legal Moose in Alaska? Where I live, we don't have antler restrictions. I'm hoping to move to Alaska soon. Just trying to research everything and figure out where in Alaska I want to move to. I'm kind of leaning towards Fairbanks area, Wasilla/Palmer areas or down around Homer.
You are asking me a lot with just a few sentences 😂 There are plenty of places that outfitters can take you out to and drop you off to hunt. The cost can range from a few grand to 20k depending on the outfitter/location/hunt. The area we were hunting is not covered by an outfitter, and you can only get there with an airplane, which is why it was the best hunting either one of us has ever experienced for moose. There are plenty of places you can reach by boat or ATV up here, but so will hundreds of other people, so it is difficult to get away from people. Having a plane is the way to go. It can be hard to judge a moose if they are right around the minimum or you are new at judging them. I'm certainly not that good at judging and I don't think Orin would say he is either. There are so many rules and regulations up here that you really need to know what area you are going to be hunting to know what the requirements are. I'm going to catch some flak for saying this... but I would never live in Fairbanks. Hot as hell in the summer and cold as balls in the winter (in my opinion). Now there are plenty of people that love it up there. There is some great hunting and fishing up that way, but living there would not be for me. I do love the Kenai Peninsula. If I was going to leave Anchorage for another place in Alaska, that's where I would pick. It gets busy during the summer months because of the fishing and all the tourists, but it has a lot to offer in my opinion.
Thanks. Having to judge a legal Moose is definitely going to be a challenge. Around here, it's a Bull if you can see antlers. It used to be a bull only if the antlers were 3 inches long so basically longer than the ears. I know a guy who lives near Homer who moved from the same state I am currently living in and he likes it there. I was also told to check out Palmer, Wasilla and Eagle River areas. I'm hoping to come up on a vacation before moving to get the feel of it. I have wondered if it was better off to get your pilots license and buy a plane as well. As much as flying freaks me out, I'm going to have to get used to it.
We heard this was an excellent moose hunting location. Not just because of the size of the moose, but also the amount of quality bulls. Most places in Alaska are not like this area. We wanted to experience it for ourselves, so we decided to start planning this hunt about 3 years ago. This was the first big hunt we wanted to do with the plane that Orin built.
Take heart ♥️ weight it 1 lbs off heart is 92 lbs off meat 🥩. Hey you hit him the first shot in the video. Start clean you got less them 4 hrs less in the sun .
This moose was not shot in the ass, it was shot in the neck. There was an issue with the scope. We will be talking about this in a recap video that we will post after the second part of this video gets posted.
We like to eat them. The amount of meat we got off these 2 bulls is insane. We will have food for our families and will be giving some to our friends as well. There was no shortage of moose in this area due to the remote location.
@@AlaskaLivingToday And that’s what I call a proper explanation. I have never thought of such an animal as food. That’s probably why it’s unusual for me. What I find important is that the animal will be respectfully treated, not just wasted for fun.
Love the respect and communication with guide and hunter.
Great job! Awesome looking bull!
Congrats guys!!! That is highest on my bucket list. Someday.......
Remember THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always SAFETY FIRST. KEEP high with airplane between the mtns , down drag bring it down in minutes.
Again, a rich man's hunt!
aside from needing an airplane the hunt didn't cost that much. I know people that have more expensive trucks than what he built the airplane for.
That was very cool! Awesome bull! I hope you can get on that other one with the bow! Good luck with everything my friends!!
Man awesome hunt boys, let me know if you need a camera man next year I’m not very good but I’m slow lol.
Great video!
Looking forward to part 2 and 3?

Check it out, it’s two sheets swaying out there, like sheets of plywood on his head, woohoo nice bull
If grizzly don’t get you first , if it from the north the moose don’t move . The wind 🌬 won’t make a difference until you smell like a grizzly.
Very nice bull. My question is what is the white experimental plane is that a jarvron 4 place cub. It almost looks like a maule with the big baggage doors. Any how nice plane.
It is an experimental Maule essentially. We made a video about it earlier in the year ua-cam.com/video/jB7HFJDYOz8/v-deo.html
With all those planes is it possible for you to fly in what directions and altitude you want?( Danger of collision)
We took off at Lake Hood, which is in Anchorage. The airspace in Anchorage is tightly controlled by multiple towers to help ensure everyone is safe.

Could you guys tell me what kind of plane you're using,
Maulish...ua-cam.com/video/jB7HFJDYOz8/v-deo.html
Is there a person sitting like 65 feet behind the camera in the end interview? It's hard to tell...
No, it was just the two of us at this location.
Why did you travel so far. When you live in Alaska.
We heard this was an excellent moose hunting location. Not just because of the size of the moose, but also the amount of quality bulls. Most places in Alaska are not like this area.

The gay velvet stag bull
Ya the ass shot pancaked him. Not the best day of shooting there....your the one that said how could I miss something that big. You barely hit him.
This moose was not shot in the ass, it was shot in the neck. There was an issue with the scope. We will be talking about this in a recap video that we will post after the second part of this video gets posted.
the variation in loudness is very, very anoying!
Guys, I know shit about hunting, so perhaps there is a reason to kill such a beautiful animal. Why?
We like to eat them. The amount of meat we got off these 2 bulls is insane. We will have food for our families and will be giving some to our friends as well.
