My BIA and I both bought a Tikka 3 from Cabela's that is listed as their SuperLite. Mine is in 30-06, and his is 300 WSM. He complained of the recoil, so had the barrel threaded and puts on a ported extension. The thread has t0 be compatable for the specific suppressor, so for a definitive...

I was aware of that, and the fishing partners only use it as a last resort.

I just returned from a 3,000 mile road trip, and my worn out hip gave me fits during much of it. I forced myself to walk for a couple hours each day after we got to the relatives place, and it did subside a bit. So, I plan to restart my regular routine at home and have a Dr. appt. on Friday to...

Germany went all in on renewable energy, closing all of the coal power plants and 14 of their 17 nuclear power plants. Peaking needs were from natural gas (purchased from Russia). OOPS! Their elec. rates are 34 cents per KWH, in the US we pay 4 to 18 cents per KWH. So now, Germany is...

Our bait bill ran us about $500; split 4 ways. We also bring a modified landing net to catch minnows, but you can't rely on it. This past week, there were only tiny minnows off the dock, and too much wind & waves to spot them later on. A minnow trap would be a better option, but is also...

You can do different types of fly-in trips; from a simple drop off at a camping spot with a boat, you supply everything else, to: This outfitter (Thunderhook) has a full services camp that includes camp staff, meals, and guides if you want them. Most of the camps are "outpost camps" that...

I posted a write-up and photos on the fishing thread (Back at the tailgate) for my recent fly-in trip.

Just got back from my Ontario fly-in fishing trip....here's the report and pics. Four of us flew 85 miles north of Armstrong to an outpost cabin on a 10,000 acre lake for an 8 day outing. Two of the guys I was with had been there the week before and had hit the brook trout run in the river...

No matter how many hunts that I go on, the next hunt is the best hunt. As you grow older it is less about filling your tag as it is filling your life. There was a time when I could not understand anyone passing up a shot at a decent animal, especially on an out of state hunt that you had...

Yeaaaaa.....Jim, you got your warthog.

My TC Omega takes the .501, so would be interested in the bullets, but could you include a picture of you with your mullet? I haven't seen one in years, except for on the resort owner in Ontario. LOL

You can buy custom maps from Mytopo.com BLM. NF, and regional maps are great for an overview, but it is great to zoom in on the exact area that you are hunting. I haven't moved very far into the digital world and prefer to have a paper map. You can get topo, satellite, different grid...

There are always going to be rules that you have to deal with when you cross any border (except of course if you come to the US via Mexico). They won't let you into Canada if you had a DUI within the last ten years because they consider that to be a criminal offense. You aren't allowed to...

Guaranteed tags through outfitters will primarily serve to up the cost even more. They will be sold to what the market will bear, just like landowner tags. The common man will just have to suck it up, plan, spend, and save for years, and hope that the rules of the game don't change. I hope...

Just to clarify, you have to log on to Arrive Canada within 72 hours of the border crossing. You will be given a printable "pass" to bring with you, although it appears that you are automatically linked to it when they check your passport.

Marcus...Canada is open. The Arrive Canada app is not too much trouble. You provide a pic of your Covid vaccination card, date and estimated time of entry at a border crossing, with your pertinent info. You may be subject to a random Covid test, but that seems to be a very small chance. You...

I posted some photos in the fishing thread (Back at the Tailgate). Had a great trip to a drive up resort, and will be flying out on Friday for a fly-in trip. The border crossing was quick and easy....just do the paperwork ahead of time.

We had a spectacular return to the Ontario resort where many of my group have been going for years, until we were shut out. In 2019 I made two trips there, and had decent fishing, but this year I was able to catch easily 20X as many walleyes, with a few nice smallmouth bass, perch, a northerns...

I'm jealous Jim; wish I was with you. Shoot straight as you always seem to and keep safe.

I just got off the phone with my bud who lives in WY. He will pack me into the mountain range behind his dad's ranch and leave me there near a small spring until I call for a pack-out. It will be solo archery for Type 1 (any elk), and Type 6 (cow calf). I will gear up for 2 weeks until...
