    Best path forward

    That's neat you have a 25-06! I've always wanted a quarter bore but already have too many rifles. I'd say you are pretty covered on the smaller caliber with that. The main thing I see missing is a big bore! sell the 300wby and get a 375 for Africa! Unfortunately that wouldn't help in the...

    Best path forward

    Cheapest way to significantly cut recoil is a proven muzzle break. You can have it threaded for a break and timed. Will be a huge improvement, just be sure to wear ear pro all the time. Do you reload? other way is to just build a lighter load with powder/bullet combo What stock is currently...

    G3 Colorado Goat

    It all depends on what you are looking for in a Goat. Trophy hunting and only want a B&C goat then you need the best glass to evaluate at long distance. That will make up for its weight by saving you miles of hiking :). Inches are hard to tell from far away. A good excuse to upgrade gear if...

    Best path forward

    I would sell it and buy something else less recoil, non magnum.... If not I would get a Bell and Carlson composite stock (good value next step up would be HS precision), get a new barrel first if you change the chamber and contour, maybe a 300 prc if you want to stay in 30 cal, but I would...

    Sheep Capture

    When would they be culled? After the test results I assume then fly back out in the chopper and shoot it? Or capture then kill?

    Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!

    I think this song by Disturbed means a lot for memories! (If you are a rock fan they have a great live version with a tribute to a lot passed on rockers) Here is the live version- some may like it better- Everyone should be a Disturbed fan for their cover of the iconic Sound of Silence by...

    Unit 17B Brown Bear

    Yes that was last year- https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2023/06/13/94-brown-bears-eliminated-government-predator-control-measure/?outputType=amp Once again not sure if that is in your guide area 🤷🏻‍♂️ The best brown bear hunts are on Kodiak and the Peninsula but they are very expensive...

    Am I looking for a unicorn?

    I would thinks it is plenty doable. Just find an outfit that can maybe make a deal on a trophy fee type basis- no 300” you don’t pay for the elk? If they don’t think it’s possible they won’t take you. I guess times may have changed but where I have hunted in Colorado LO and Utah draw 300” was...

    Unit 17B Brown Bear

    Alaska just did a big aerial depredation cull in that gmu. They killed 94 brown bears. Hopefully it wasn’t in the area you will hunt? Brown bears with a bow can be tough! Not sure I could pass on a legal bear with a bow to hold out for something bigger… good luck should be an adventure either...

    Anti-hunting Hunters - Article by Fred Eichler

    It was ridiculous how the CO spring bear hunt and baiting was banned, with support of so-called hunters voting in support. That's a good name for them- anti-hunting hunters.

    Red fox

    Yes they are native (indigenous) to the US and most all of the Northern hemisphere. There are areas in the US where they are more prevalent than others.

    Delta junction Alaska

    Depends on what you want. If you want to kill a bear and see plenty of them I would say no. Go to Canada on a baited hunt with a proven outfit and you will see lots and lots of bears. Bowhunt for the added challenge. I have seen hunts for $2-5K depending where and what is offered. You may be...

    Have cancer. Going to Seattle for medical reasons. Fishing? Hiking tidbits?

    I would say go climb Mt Rainier. Not sure of your energy levels but that’s a fun feat
