    Calgary/Edmonton Denver flight travel question

    Thanks, I will have everything in a folder in my carry on. I do like to be organized and ready for any issue. As far as the American customs form, would that be the Customs and Border Patrol Office at the Edmonton Airport on my return trip that would need to notarize that form to bring the...

    Calgary/Edmonton Denver flight travel question

    Thanks for that explanation, that certainly helps a lot. I had no idea I would be able to clear US customs in Edmonton and could be checked straight through to my final destination. That saves a lot of ”mental” hassle

    Calgary/Edmonton Denver flight travel question

    First of all do I understand how this works, I‘ve never traveled internationally with guns before. My possible flight will be originating in Allentown PA With layovers in Denver, Calgary and final destination of Edmonton. On my back it will just be reversed. On the way out, I know I go through...

    Calgary/Edmonton Denver flight travel question

    I know these travel questions have been discussed many times and I thought I had a good route figured out and it seemed a no brainer to fly into Edmonton when touching down in Canada for a sheep hunt. Unfortunately it is nearly impossible for me to find a flight which touches down on Canadian...

    Fall vs Spring Peninsula Brown Bear hunt Pros/Cons

    The hunt was great…….great outfitter, weather was better than expected for the peninsula, but bears were uncooperative. I would say I averaged about 3 bear sightings a day, which is what I was told to expect, but most were sows or young boars and several miles away going in the wrong direction...

    Carrying Tip Money/TSA

    Thanks for the input on carrying cash. It’s a shame things have to be that way and I know the rules about $10K in cash being the limit before eyebrows are supposed to be raised. The Patriot Act has made anyone dealing in cash a criminal. But I think it’s more the mood of the individual making...

    Carrying Tip Money/TSA

    I’ve been contemplating this question for sometime now, but after reading the TSA requirements and search procedures I figured I would ask how hunters carry large sums of CASH tip money without issues from TSA searches. Maybe I’m over reacting but about 25 years ago I got detained at the...

    Black bear shot placement

    I’m with you on this! Sounds like double speak to me so if I’m missing something I’d really welcome an explanation. Seems to me that maybe bear vitals aren’t actually farther back then on deer and other animals, but bear front legs are farther forward than on deer or elk. It appears that a...

    Wildlife Gallery Taxidermy - Who has used them? What do you Think?

    Don’t know anything about Wildlife Gallery but I started using these guys for some other mounts about 2 years ago and they will be receiving my Brown Bear this May if I get one, and sheep next year (fingers crossed). The FB link shows some of their videos and their Website is pretty extensive...

    Fall vs Spring Peninsula Brown Bear hunt Pros/Cons

    I’ll be sure to post after I get back. He told me about the 4 for 6 and said they would have been 100% but the 2 hunters that didn’t shoot were repeat customers and were looking for an exceptional bear only. Taj really surprised me with this spring hunt opening. I was taking my time getting...

    Fall vs Spring Peninsula Brown Bear hunt Pros/Cons

    Thanks to everyone for the input. I now have a new contract with Grizzlyskins for May 10-25 2022, so my hunt was moved forward by a year and a half. My biggest concern is getting in physical shape for this trip. I just retired in December and my desk job left me in not the best physical...

    Fall vs Spring Peninsula Brown Bear hunt Pros/Cons

    Interesting information regarding the spring rubs and bears being off the salmon since the fall season has been pushed back; I made an assumption they would still be gorging on Salmon in the fall

    Fall vs Spring Peninsula Brown Bear hunt Pros/Cons

    Anyone with input on the Pros’ vs Cons of Fall vs Spring Brown Bear hunts on the peninsula. I have a Fall 2023 hunt booked and have been given the opportunity to move up to a spring hunt 2022. I originally chose the Fall hunt to avoid a bear shortage if bears came out of hibernation late. Any...

    6.5 RPM experience?

    Amassi and Mainbeam may have a point with Retumbo. N570 was clearly the best powder I tried in the 6.5-300 for accuracy and speed; 1/2 to 3/4 inch groups at 3490 with the 140AB. RE33 was one ragged hole in the 257 Bee with a 110 Accubond. Retumbo didn’t fair to well in either but just may be...
