    Interesting Alaskan Article

    I read the article the other day and am glad that the court found the way that they did. As far as the area being inundated with air boats, hydra foils, or other hunters I highly doubt it.

    Found a big one

    Good luck on him. I had a 4th season buck tag in 44 a number of years ago and put a 200"+ buck to sleep the day before the opening. On the opening morning I found that there had been a truck and 2 or 2 ATV's into the area where he was hanging out at. Never did find him or even his does...

    Best Western Caliber?

    I have been doing some reading on the 6.5 PRC. It has all the benefits of the 6.5 bullet along with 200 fps more than the Creedmore with the same bullet. And while it isn't a 6.5-300 Weatherby it is a interesting round and should be good on just about any North American animal except for the...

    It will be one of the funnest hunts of your life. The only thing that I didn't like about my trip was the trip home.

    Moose Ribs

    I'm the same type of person. I couldn't tell you the amount of deer that I have brought out in pieces. It took me two days to get one out many years ago and I though that I had found a deer heaven so I went back into the same area the next year before daylight. Much to my surprise I saw...

    Moose Ribs

    I was just going to mention that along with some stainless blades for it. It will make quick work on any animal that is laying on the ground, and with them weighing in at around 6 lbs are worth their weight to bring back in if you have to head to a truck for the packing gear.

    I remember watching some of those shows on TV back in the 60's, they were great. I remember them asking Fred Bear about shooting a brown or a polar bear with just a bow at such a close range. His response was that with a bow the bear doesn't know where anything came from where as a rifle he...

    The Day we Dred

    Hope you have longer than was estimated. A friend had a young dog that got the dreded C on a checkup and was only expected to make it another few weeks. That dog made it almost a full year before he had to be put down due to the problems. Here's to many good memories.

    GETTIN OLD.......

    I was also that tall skinny kid all the way through high school and into college. I was 6'5" and 120lbs, I could hide behind a light pole. I did do a lot of sports outside of school but just wasn't big enough weight wise for school but I could hold my own with the best of them. The coaches...

    Who else is...

    Way back when if I wanted to do a hike like this I would have to schedule 3 or 4 days off and do it all in one outing. Now you can do it over a couple of weeks with a hot shower and a soft bed every day and night. I remember my first real big hike. I started at Bear Lake in Utah and ended...

    On The Go Hunting Maps

    It was quite interesting, I told them where the Colorado border and what ranch owned the property that they planned to hunt along with telling them that they were camping on Reservation land. I also told them that if they moved their camp to the base of the hill then they would be on BLM land...
