Just Joined from Alaska

[Rotaman]

I‘m a long-time Alaska resident who has enjoyed big game hunting and adventure camping. An African safari is on my dream list, and I’m saving steadily with a goal of 2025. In the meantime, I’m hunting as many Alaska game animals as I can. I particularly enjoy hunting with my 1929 Muchler drilling in 16x16x8x57JR and seek to take as many different game species with that one firearm as I can. To date, I have taken brown bear, black bear, caribou, crane, ducks, ptarmigan and grouse with it. Haven’t scored a moose with that particular gun yet, but I’m working on it.

Hello Rotaman,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

Also, I live in Anchorage.
If you already know the following, please disregard.
The best gun store in Alaska is known as, “Great Northern Guns” and is located in Anchorage, behind the gas station, S / E corner of Tudor Road and Wright Street.
Furthermore, this weekend (January - 15 & 16 - 2022), there is a gun show scheduled at Wasilla High School.

Myself and fellow forum member, 1dirthawker will be walking through the show on Saturday.
If you want to meet up there and discuss firearms, send me a pm or dm or whatever you call it, before Saturday and I’ll provide my contact information.

Either way, cheers,
Velo Dog.

I thought Great Northern Guns closed.

Rotaman, welcome to AH!
I am fascinated with drillings! I’ve owned two. First was a Merkel in 12x12x243 which surprised a couple of coyotes while pheasant hunting. Second a Krieghoff 12x12x30-06, beautiful gun! Sold them because they got a bit heavy for me to haul around all day. I do miss them though.

Welcome! You will have to tell us about your bear hunts. I am making plans for an Alaskan moose hunt too.

Welcome Rotaman! Lived in Juneau for 4 years and got to fish and hunt all over Alaska.
