    Limit on meat brought back into USA from Canada?

    When I was guiding in BC, we loaded you up! But to a max of 50lbs/box and it had to be airline approved. I would call the airlines. Depending on where you are, you can look at airline freight. My buddy come up and visits/hunts with me every year and he takes home his meat with Air Canada...

    Photography- one photo a day

    Quick trip down to Yuma last week, never been in a arid, desert type of terrain. Live my whole life either on the ocean or mountains of BC. Amazed at what lives in in the desert...... Did a hike up to Sugarloaf "mountain" (ok, to me it is a hill, but they call it a mountain...) Saw a...

    Who’s using the Tactacam FTS

    Yes it does, works on Bluetooth. I haven't tried it right after, but have sat in the blind later and it worked with no issues. The biggest issue is trying to see it all on a small screen. You are zooming in and out trying to see everything, which is a real first world problem....Haha Just...

    Who’s using the Tactacam FTS

    I use a Solo on my crossbow and have no complaints. I hunt in temps down -25c and so far no issues. Handles the recoil well, the sound is clear and even though it is 1080, the picture is clear enough for me. Quick to turn on with one push, pause with two and turn back on with another tap...

    Best moose meat hauling frame pack?

    As a guide I have used a few different packs (Camptrails, Cabelas, MR and SJ) for packing out moose and for me, the Tatonka Lastenkrax is my favorite. It is not the greatest pack for back packing, its heavyish, noisy in the bush and looks kind of ugly, but for packing out a moose, it works hard...

    Awesome trail cam pictures?

    Only saw this bull in June/July and only on camera. The growth by the end of June was surprising for a Northern Bull Cheers SS

    Yukon Vacation

    We are doing the same trip. We live in Northern BC and finally decided to head north instead of south. Plan is to do highway 4 from Watson Lake, then on to Dawson City, then a 3 day run up to Tuktoyaktuk so I can swim in the Arctic and tick a box on the bucket list (swim the Pacific, Atlantic...

    Camera Batteries

    I switched to a 12v 10ah lithium battery, plastic waterproof ammo case and the proper plug. It is rare if I can find AA lithiums up here in BC and if you do, they are around $2.50 a battery I run 6 of the 12V so far and will be adding more when the batteries come on sale. I run cheap AA...

    Euro Mount Question

    Use a cheap sous vide off Amazon, unless your wife is ok with you using the house one.... Set it 155-165 deg and simmer away. Add some Oxi-clean and dawn and check every few house; remove any loose stuff and repeat until clean. Then turn down to 130-140 and degrease with the same stuff...

    Transferring a scrape. Thoughts.

    Ditto I make about 6-8 man made scrapes every October and they get hit just as much as the ones made by the bucks. I know it sounds weird, but I get more action when I take Complex B pills a couple weeks before and then pee in the scrape, whether it is man made or natural. Don't ask why...
