    Moose

    Its tough to beat an Accubond ( or similarly built bullet) for penetration, expansion and weight retention for larger game. Anybody shooting mutliple times at a moose is not taking or making good shots. We have taken 2 Shiras cow moose wirh our 280AIs shooting a handloaded 175gt ABLR. They...

    The lakes are near Winter Park. He was targeting green backs. Those are cutthroats with some cross breeding going on I think. Hard to say as those lakes up high produce some pretty crazy colors at times. Hes above 11k and a 4 mile one way hike in.

    Fuel prices affect

    I agree we need to pursue all avenues. Global markets react when stability is lost and a perceived risk or threat is there. Sometimes even if its not there. Its like our pensions/retirement funds. We don't have all of it in one area the risk is spread out so it can absorb the ebbs and flows...

    35 Whelen-Powders?

    I dont think that 35 W is in the large capacity case class. Its just a little ( 5 grains or less ) more than most 30-06 loads) Most loads top out at 54-55gr. Your 300 Weatherby Mag is up in the 75 gr region I believe.

    Secondary Draw

    I thought when my son was younger the whole " you don't fill your tag in your primary season you can now hunt any season till filled in an even bigger area of GMUS" was pretty spot on. This works well. Having maybe 10 percent go to youth in the secondary and some kinda split between non...

    Hunting Philosophy as you get older

    The only thing that has changed for me is now I figure my counter is decreasing on how many hunts I have left. If I have a chance to go I go.
