Thanks for everyone's feedback so far. We are leaning on going to Canada and doing Misty River after looking into it more. We still just have the one friend who is hesitant to go and doing a bear hunt was his idea so that's the only hold up on us actually getting a deposit put down. Has anyone...
Mikes and Misty river both look like great places to go. I’m sure we couldn’t go wrong with either after I spoke with them earlier today. If we can get everyone on board to agree that Canada is the way to go I think we will go with one of those two.
I haven’t spoken to glacier guides yet since...
Just curious, what makes the hides not good? We aren't looking for giants or color phase necessarily, but we would like to be able and bring home a hide even though that's not the focus of our hunt.
None of us have ever hunted bear or Alaska so hiring a guide is the route we would go. As much as we would all enjoy a DIY hunt I just don't think it would be feasible since we don't have the time or money to fly out to AK enough to scout and really get an understanding of the place by next...
We have definitely considered Canada and saw a few places that looked great. One of the guys that will be going went up there for an elk hunt a few years ago and had a really bad experience with TSA and crossing the Canada border even though he had everything situated properly. He said he would...
I recently bought a new CA 300 WM and Zeiss Conquest v6 2.5-15x56 to use as my elk hunting rifle. I purchased the optic with exposed turrets so that I could make quicker adjustments, but didn't realize until I went out to sight the rifle in that only the elevation turret is actually exposed and...
I am looking into booking a black bear hunt for a group of 5-6 people. Any advice on which state has the best hunting and good outfitters? I have done a google search and made plenty of calls, but that leaves you with what seems to be equally good options in every state so I am trying to narrow...
I know this is a long shot, but I am looking for a Browning BAR Mark II Safari. Preferably in 270, but may look at other calibers if anyone has one they are willing to let go of.
I cant say a whole lot to this since my son isn't quite a year old yet, but here are a few things that have already been mentioned by others that I think are good points.
The 529 is a great way to get some money into an account for college. We opened ours as soon as we got his SSN.
I opened a...
Its a really nice gun, I am currently trying to decide if I want to go with a 300wm or a 6.5. I am leaning toward the 300wm just cause its what I am familiar with. If I decide to go that route I will shoot you a PM this weekend.
