    Ruger #1 Build suggestions

    Some great feedback here. I am committed to my smith here that is not only a crusty European craftsman, but he is also a single shot loon as well. I may have to look at this as my "one and done" last rifle at my age and go all in (he does beautiful stock work). Sorry Thinhorn, but i can't do a...

    Bighorns vs Domestic Sheep

    Movi is an issue, and for the BC Cali populations Blue Tongue has been an issue in the last couple of years as well. We lost approximately 100 animals a couple of years ago in our region to BT. BC has changed rules around use of camelids and goats as pack animals in certain regions to curb the...

    Ruger #1 Build suggestions

    A question for my fellow quirky rifle fans: What would your ultimate Ruger #1 "sort of back-country" rifle look like? Something in that 7 1/2-8lbs all in with the ability to be a consistent 450 yard effective round from deer through moose. A current take on a classic highlands stalking rifle...

    Salewa Boot question

    The Crow and Rapace have same toe box, but the Crows have a somewhat stiffer sole. All Salewas have a narrower European fit like Scarpa and La Sportiva. He may have better luck with a Han Wag or Lowa.

    Your hunt setup

    My longbows range from 63-77# at my DL. I was lucky to have been taught proper draw technique and form when i was a kid and have never had an issue with my shoulders or elbows. I get a little tired of being lectured on "the dangers of heavy bows" by archers who weren't alive when i started in...

    Your hunt setup

    Five days to opener, and the Black Canyon t/d LB gets the start. 62" and about 63# at my DL. Shooting 400 GT Trads and three blade VPA's. The old Morrison Shawnee LB has been treating me well this year, so that will be the back-up. Best of luck to all of my fellow single string degens.

    Average Sheep or Once in a lifetime trophy

    Pretty ram. Carries mass beautifully to his tips, and based on paused video i put him at 10 years old and in that 180-185 class. Don't know many sheep hunters that would pass on that ram, but he is going to die of old age or a car collision and not an arrow or bullet.

    NWT fires ?

    So, you fly to Yellowknifeand actually get out to camp. Hunt sheep for ten days. How do you plan on getting home if the worst case scenario occurs and there is massive destruction to infrastructure to YZF? I would call the outfitter and get a reality check.

    Wrestling a Grizz to the death

    I feel ya. It's only is really "Huntin' Like Pooh (HLP)" if you are rockin' a red shirt and no pants as you cruise through the mountains. Think of it as minimalism at its finest. Light, fast and focused. Besides, it's hard to carry a handgun or spray with no belt...

    There. I fixed it for you.

    Less Physical Hunt ??

    If you are dropped in the alpine in that range, you don't exactly have to be in "peak mountain form"...

    Less Physical Hunt ??

    That's one word for it...:cautious: My understanding is if you are willing to pay the price, he will cater to any format of hunt provided he has the guides available.

    Less Physical Hunt ??

    Unfortunately GO's in the Mackenzie Range in NWT can transport clients for goat hunting into the alpine with rotary wing aircraft.

    Packs and Meat

    That Nomad on a Kifaru frame with one of their original hanging meat bags that suspend off of the top the frame and sits between the batwings should do what you have described.

    Best place for string?

    I second 60X for endless loop strings. Pierre Lucas at SBD Bowstrings has been building my flemish twist strings for a few years now. Quality materials, perfectly built and a pleasure to deal with.

    Go To Puffy

    Rab Generator. Great jacket with a Pertex shell and Primaloft fill. Packs down well and being a belay jacket is cut sensibly.

    Moose Caliber: Maine

    B.C. has a shared hunt format for limited entry moose and bison in some areas. One tag between 2 or three applicants and two tags between four hunters. Increases draw odds for applicants. Up to the group to ensure that they don't over harvest.

    Choices choices

    Not sure if someone will still have a stash, but see if you can find any Carbon Tech Safari or Rhino shafts. Doesn't look like CT makes them any more, but you may get lucky. They are 15.5-16gpp (75/95) and 33" long. I had an 80# Harrison HSS that loved those shafts with 300gr. VPA's on them.

    Fly fishing?

    Flyfishing is like old motorcycles, single shot rifles and quirky women: if you take it for what it is and "get it" you love it. If you don't you won't. Definitely not for everyone.
