It looks like it's official; the border is opening to US folks crossing into Canada effective August 9th. Proof of vaccination is required. I have a fly-in fishing trip scheduled for August 14th, and am waiting for the outfitter to verify that the trip is a go. This trip was a back-up plan...

It's great to have a recent hunt story posted along with some excellent photos. The season is coming up and hope to see some more. Good job.

Home mortgage rates were 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 percent for many years, and my first mortgages were in that area for my first 3 homes. I had a 10% fixed mortgage for the first new house that I built, and was considering lowering the rate with a variable rate. That was in 1979, and it was a good thing...

I don't get it either Buzz. I've been looking at real estate in WY for almost 20 years, and it appears to be going the way much of the west has.......what I would call Californicated. I was all set to move to northern Idaho after my truck broke down while on a family trip around 1985, and I...

We stop at Pond's for lunch sometimes while snowmobiling out of Island Park. I've never stayed there, but it looks like a decent place and the food is good.

I just received the AGC Kodiak Cub that I had ordered after checking out several reviews (including this one). Looks good, and will try it out this fall on a Colorado elk hunt.

I have always been ready to go over the next hill, even when good sense would tell me that I shouldn't. The main difference now that I am in spitting distance to age 69, is that I am not compelled to kill something on every trip. Our plan for this year's CO elk hunt is to backpack a couple...

They will love the 7mm-08. I gave mine to my grandson a couple years ago, and he has already shot a deer with it. Now all you have to do is find some ammo. I had bought 7mm-08 ammo whenever it was on sale, and was suprised to find 15 boxes in my ammo safe when I gave the rifle to him. So...

"Stupid is what stupid does. That's what my mama used to say."

After watching a variety of bino harness/pack reviews (including the AGC review on this forum), I ordered an AGC and received it in the mail in just a few days. Looks good, and will be trying it out on a cow elk hunt in October. I did have to remind myself several times to NOT get one of the...

I had to laugh Scott when I looked at the picture, wondering why a half eaten ice-cream sandwich was on your new bench. Upon further inspection, I saw that it was a folded over piece of sandpaper. If you eat that for desert, then you are sure one tough SOB.

I would guess that the vast majority of NRs who actually hunt in Wyoming are like me and only use their points to draw a GENERAL area tag, in areas that residents can hunt every year if they don't draw a limited tag. My age and point creep are coming together to close off that option one of...

BC; You da man BUFF BOY!! For 40 years I told myself that anyone that I couldn't beat up I could at least out run. You are a definite exception.

I spent the day digging out a cracked sewer line to my guest cabin. I can't use the backhoe because of the intact water line in the same trench. I will be back at it and keep on digging until I find solid pipe. You don't need expensive exercise equipment as long as you have a shovel (or a...

Best to carry a gun in both places.

I am so jealous. Somebody take me along....PLEASE. Have a great time.

I never saw that until you posted it. Think about that.

Carry a small canister of OC with you on your outdoor runs. I have had to use it several times on aggressive dogs. As a cop, I always had some available, and found that the older CN or CS (tear gas) was not nearly as effective as the newer OC. If it works on Griz, a Rottweiler shouldn't be...

I've been off the grid for the last 3 weeks...first with computer issues, and the last 10 days with a canoe trip in the Boundary Waters Wilderness. I guided 5 Boy Scouts and 3 adults along the border country for 75 miles. My pack training served me well, as my endurance and strength were not...

Inreach Mini. It seems to work everywhere, and if you a phone savy you can link them and text from your phone. I'm not.
