Freddie Dodge From Gold Rush

dav1965
It seems he really likes to hunt. He has the top 3 Moose killed with a black powder rifle.

He said he has antlers at home when they dry are going to beat his world record again. So that would make him have the top 4.

Where he hunts at he says its 150 miles from a road in any direction. He rides horses to get there.

All his animals were killed on guided hunts though.

I looked into the price of 1 of his hunts and its a 20 day hunt and its 20,000 bucks.

People were complaining that he had a modern muzzleloader and it has a scope on it.

I think its amazing and if i had the money i would go myself.

    I'd guess he is flying in that distance and using horses from a base or spike camp.
    150 miles a horseback each way would eat up a considerable amount of time of a 20 day hunt.
    Not to say it couldn't be done and would be dang fun and a good trip to break colts on.
    I'll have to look him up.

    What does he have? A Gold mine?[8D]
    I like Dakota Fred, though he can come off as a little arrogant. He's in his '70's and going strong.

    Hunting Alaska? If he is not a resident, state game laws says he MUST have a licensed guide.

    Nope, in Alaska a nonresident may hunt Moose and Caribou without a guide.
    Nonresidents have to have a guide for Sheep, goat, and Grizzly/Brown bear.
    Nonresident aliens must have a guide for all species.

    DP, is the non-resident/guide rule to avoid hunting violations or to cut down on the number to searches that end up being conducted when those unfamiliar with Alaska, or wilderness anywhere for that matter, and the challenges hunting there (going missing, bear attacks, etc.) must to inevitably lead to?

    It appears he hunts in Canada, not Alaska.

    I think it has to do mostly with miss identification of legal sheep and not shooting sows with cubs as a lot of moose and caribou areas are just as vast and remote as bear and sheep areas are.
    It?s a win for the guides, just like in Wyoming a person can camp or fish anywhere in the state, but if you have a hunting tag and want to hunt in a wilderness area, you are required by Wyoming law to have a licensed resident guide or outfitter

    In Canada, BC, Alberta, Yukon, NWT all non-residents must have a guide for hunting .

    DP, makes sense. One of my former team guys hunts wilderness areas all over the US. Every few years he makes a foray several hundred miles into the backcountry of Alaska. Experienced as he is, he readily admits that he "...isn't stupid enough to even begin to think he knows enough about Alaska..." to venture out on his own-and expect to come back, let alone have a successful hunt.
