Thread: Hunting traditions elsewhere in the world

Maybe its just me?

If I get to pull the trigger it will be with one of his rifles as it's easier to travel without firearms. When I hunted Alaska for my moose I had applied for a permit to bring my 338 but was declined as I didn't have a current Hunting licence in my paperwork, I had been advised to buy the licence from my outfitter on arrival in Talkeetna. As it turned out I borrowed a Ruger 338 Win Mag from one of the guides and shot my moose with it, it would have been nice to use my own rifle though.
