    Michigan Bear hunting adventure

    If I remember correctly you are not allowed to bait corn, grain or apples until September 1st or when ever the date is that you can start baiting deer. I would not use a lot of meet until you have a bear hitting the bait on a consistent basis.

    Michigan Bear hunting adventure

    Fryer grease has gotten hard to get, 20 years ago I could get all that I wanted, I think a lot of it now gets recycled to biodiesel.

    Michigan Bear hunting adventure

    Black oil sunflower seeds are the best thing that I have found. Not that bears are fussy but they will keep coming back for the black oil sunflower.

    Fuel prices affect

    Wind and Solar will not be capable of meeting demand until storage capacity technology is developed, if that ever happens. I was fortunate to be part of a joint project between the company I was working for and WE energies about 10 years ago. I learned so much during that project and am grateful...

    Trout fishing the Bighorns in August

    Wondering how the trout fishing is in the Bighorn mountains during late August? Trying to schedule a trip with my son and based on our schedules this looks like the most convenient time. Later than I had hoped but better late than never.

    Hunting Philosophy as you get older

    With point creep and tag numbers dropping for nonresidents, I’ve been thinking that my only chance to hunt some of the really good units is by winning a tag through one of the raffles for commissioners tags. Long shot at best but at least the money goes to good causes. I’ve never built up a lot...

    WY 90/10 Deer/Elk/Antelope Question

    The expense is one thing, but not believing that you will ever draw a tag and the inability to plan for a hunt, may cause many like myself to just focus on their home state.

    Load Development Ruger #1 - .300 Wby

    I really appreciate the detailed information you are willing to provide! I am always looking for new loads for my 300wby, I developed my loads using RL22 and am planning on trying RL25.
