    Floating and Hunting the SW portion of the Last Frontier

    Thank you, she is a keeper. That is a Kifaru sawtooth under there. I still have the 8 man, it is just a little big for solo trips. The sawtooth works pretty good as a solo taj maja. This last trip it was just easier to rent everything there. The bug gazebo was a good to have. The bugs in...

    Small Calibers for Big Game Hunting

    What i find amusing is that a 223 with a 77grn tmk is the bomb, but on the same web site, guys are complaining about no boom flop with a 223 on coyotes. the 6.5prc is not much different than a 270wsm to 500 yards. after that the new bullet design does have some merits. So unless you are long...
