Bear Season!

Doe-fawn bleat. Pretty steep, forested terrain. I did my best to make it sound like a young mule deer was hurt. That bear came in with quite an attitude! :) Guy

Bear Season!

Well, twist my arm about the rifle photos. ;) Here's the Ruger Number One in 375 H&H with a 1.5-5x Leupold mounted. I bought the rifle, used 11 years ago. Haven't taken anything but bear with it, though I've also carried it for elk. I know that level of power isn't needed for black bear, but I...

Bear Season!

Washington's bear season starts August 1st, right around the corner! My son and I have done well on black bear here in Washington before and I hope to hunt pretty seriously for bear again this year. No baiting allowed. No hound hunting either here. So, it's "spot and stalk" for the most part...

Arizona desert bighorn

OUTSTANDING! What a great tag. :) Very happy for you. You're right, it's incredible odds, yet you drew. Now, go have one heck of a great hunt. Regards, Guy

Out of state Antelope Taxidermy options

BTW, antelope can make dramatic Euro/skull mounts, particularly on a dark piece of wood. Less expensive. Takes less space. Just a thought. Guy

What do you carry in your vehicle for self recovery when hunting?

Oh - I've got a "Pull Pal" winch anchor, which is a pretty good solution when out in sagebrush country and there's no big tree to winch from. There are other things that can be done rather than the pull-pal, but it works fine. Purpose made for the task. Guy

What do you carry in your vehicle for self recovery when hunting?

Bought it about 30 years ago, it's been in three of my rigs, but the Hi-Lift has only been used once to get a Dodge pickup un-stuck. Otherwise it just rides around, heavy and taking up space. I'm glad I've got it, I've used it around the place, to move and lift stuff, but I've been surprised...

Brown bear / mnt goat bullet

Seven days into a nine day Brooks Range hunt, this interior grizz showed up at about 40 - 50 yards, heading towards us. I shot and missed. I shot and dropped him, he was up almost instantly, but I'd cycled my bolt faster and shot again. The guide started shooting too. Things were moving fast...

Another caliber post

I think you should buy what puts a grin on your face. A varmint/target rifle perhaps? There's nothing in North America that you can't hunt with a good 300 WM or 30-06, which you already own. Get something fun, something easy to shoot well. A 6.5 CM or something? That's a light kicker and...

Worried about theft back at the truck while hunting?

It's GREAT to have a fellow along who enjoys being in and near camp BTW. Someone who maintains security, and stays busy splitting wood, filling the water jugs, making sure there's a great meal awaiting the returning hunters. As I've gotten older, I do more of that. I enjoy the camping. Get...

Worried about theft back at the truck while hunting?

Ya, don't worry about the truck (Jeep in my case) a lot - but - when I set up a camp and walk away from it in the morning to hunt it's a concern. So much is there: tent, sleeping bag(s) stove clothing, BEER, etc... Muzzle loader hunt for mule deer some years ago. Four of us were camping...

Photography- one photo a day

Invading San Clemente Island again? :) I thought we took care of all those "OPFOR" problems off the coast of Southern California in the 1980's when I was a Marine. :)
