    Strategy for Other Hunters in "Your" Spot

    It's public. First come, first served. I wouldn't touch the fire wood and would probably set my camp up out of the way, but I'd still camp there. People don't get to call dibs on public by leaving their stuff there.

    Are you taking this bet?

    Can we ask some serious questions please? Are hotdogs sandwiches? Do you drink or eat soup? Is cereal soup? Is the Kool Aid man the pitcher or the juice?

    Shoot or pass

    These posts are silly. You're not looking for advice, you're looking for reassurance. As long as it's legal, do what ever you want and you shouldn't GAF about what other people think. Cogito ergo sum! Be your own man, make your own decisions.

    Driving into Canada with long guns

    I cross often into the US from Canada with firearms. As a license Canadian gun owner, I don't have to transport my non-restricted firearms locked and encased as long as I am in the vehicle with them. That being said, I would never cross the border with unlocked firearms outside of a gun case...

    What do you do for a living? How can you help?

    Recently retired from the Army just shy of two decades. Retired as a Sergeant Major as my last appointment. I'm now a civilian manager in the same department. No more stress and I get to watch the army guys run around like chickens with no heads. Good times!

    Is your life revolving around your upcoming Elk hunt?

    No. Going back to a unit I successfully hunted in 2022. Too far to scout but confident enough that I will find elk again. Most of my time and thoughts revolve around my upcoming caribou hunt!
