    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    That's what I thought was the basis of your opinion. The problem with it is the exact same thing can be said for every church donation that was ever gave with an open heart. Like gifts and cash bribes? Sounds like a problem that you should hold your elected officials accountable for, first &...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    What are the mechanics of that "competition"? How does that happen? Asking because sometimes it's too easy for a person to make a claim he can't back up.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I think you do a better job of generalizing "near Seattle" than you do dumping on BHA, but that's just my revealed opinion, which I declare sacrosanct and unquestionable, because it is. PS: them soft-livin' granoler crunchin' REI types buy enough gear to keep REI and Patagonia in business, and...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I'd put them out of my mind for a moment to think about our great American national heritage of Public Lands... but your witty emoji sure helped jangle things into proper perspective.. "Libertarians" who want to sell my public lands to the highest bidder in pursuit of a complete laissez faire...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    Yep. I don't think hunters are or should be a monolithic tribe of theocrat culture warriors. I have no wish to be painted with that brush by every Tom, Dick, and Vegan troll who has no clue. BTW, my Alpacka Mule [designed with input from BHA] is just about the coolest piece of hunting access I...

    How long can you keep meat in the mountains?

    This, mostly. The Brooks Range in August gets cool without direct sunlight. And the mosquitoes hatch out of the snow to come get you, so a 3-hour frost doesn't even slow them down. [You can see mosquitoes in ANC in February if there's a thaw. The little bastards will fight their way up through...

    Sheep Rifle Project

    2nd the VX3i - the 44mm scopes weigh 14.5oz and the 50mm weighs 16.5, the 33s are ~ 13oz That on a Tikka or Kimber short action will feel like carrying a golf club.

    30-30 Winchester and Goats: Another Cartridge Question

    As someone who lives below prime goat country, I'd recommend a rookie goat stalker put every advantage he can on his side, including humility. That being said, you can kill the hell out of goats with a .30-30. I remember the journal of a sourdough who ended up dying of scurvy one winter because...

    This is how we do it

    Yeah, I could have thought that "Tag" bit through a little better inre Brooks Range sheep :/ @T28w -Drawing hunt odds vary, mostly depending on ease/difficulty/expense of access. Most convenient drive-up hunts are almost like lottery tickets, and residents consider applications for them...

    This is how we do it

    Prob a couple grand to fly out from CF [friends with Maules=priceless]. $5 for the resident draw tag [winning the lottery=priceless] [all nonresident sheep hunters must have a guide] $1500-$2000 per packraft - $1000 for assemble-it-yourself. $400-$800 for worthy 4pc paddle. Gaining the...

    This is how we do it

    Naa, you won't need anything like that in the Arctic... [/pulling your leg] Brown bighorn sheep in the Sandias can see other brown bighorn sheep on a brown mountain at least 50 miles away [per Jack O'Connor]. That's the sort of vision we're dealing with here. Camouflage is futile. Only way to...

    This is how we do it

    That's mild country compared to U11 or U13 or the nightmare hellscape that is U7 or U15, my friend.

    This is how we do it

    Like Maverick & Goose, if Maverick & Goose could shoot like that and hunt sheep like that.

    This is how we do it

    Don't know these guys, and this may have been posted already, but this is one of the best sheep videos I've seen in a long time. These guys are strong. S4YE
