    Alaska Fishing Trip

    When I was there in 2019, we went mid May to Mid June. Wanted to avoid the summer crowds (started coming in as we left), not get totally eaten up by the bugs and catch the first king runs. I also wanted to be there for a big minus tide for clamming. We accomplished everything. Sleeping bear was...

    Duck dog

    My last 2 Labs have been partially indoor dogs. Our home here in Colorado is set up for a dog. I have a bed in the mud room the the dog stays in at night. We use a special vacume cleaner for pets that does a wonderful job picking up hair. I also have an outside enclosure (20x20) with lots of...

    Guys in the market?

    When I retired 21 years ago, I changed my whole investment program. I had cancer and was told I had a 10% chance to live 5 years. I took all my cash assets and put them in CD's and Muny Bonds. If there was a problem with stocks and the market became problematic and i lost any of my nest egg, I...

    Duck dog

    I have been training my own dogs for 40 years. It is really not that difficult, but you have to have the time to do it. It is really better to train your own dog, as the dog has only one real "boss" and that is you. If you have the dog professionally trained, both you and the dog have to be...

    Duck dog

    IMHO there is nothing to compare with a Lab. I've owned a great Springer Spaniel that was an outstanding upland game dog, but for waterfowl, the Lab is supreme. They are also a wonderful family dog. I do know a breeder near Colorado Springs who has great bloodlines and great dogs. His pups are...

    First OTC hunt questions

    2nd & 3rd OTC tags are good in lots of units. Almost all the elk units have the OTC unlimited licenses. You can also buy the tag online cpw.state.co.us click "buy & apply" option or by phone (800) 244-5613 or phone. I would suggest looking at the regs online and call and ask them to send you...

    Alaska Fishing Trip

    My wife and I spent a month in Alaska in 2019 and the advice from Bob is spot on. There are so many different types of fishing available that you will need to pick out what you want to fish for in advance and plan for that. The salmon runs last all summer for different species and different...

    Portable Bear Fence in Grizz country?

    A few years back I was on a guided elk hunt to Thorofare in the Teton Wilderness. There were lots of Grizzlies in the area and we saw then almost every day hunting. The outfitter had basically 4 lines of defense. The outer one was the stock. They made lots of noise if a bear came around at...

    Harvest Data report

    I remember when they first started to divide California up into all the units like there are today, lots of people flat lied on their reports to screw up the kill data. Back them, everyone hated the way the state was divided up and seasons shortened.

    Former World Record Grizzly Killed By a little Old Lady and a 22 Caliber Single Shot

    That lady could shoot! If you read the story, did you see the group of bullet holes in the side of the skull. Looks like 5 rounds in about 1".

    Air Rifle recommendations

    I am going to get me a .177 cal air rifle. Looking at all the different ones, hard to figure out a good one. Looking for something at least 1000fps. Used to be Beemans was a really good choice. I also want a scope on it. What say you..........................?
