    Is this a nice Ram?

    Weird illusion. In first pic looks like he has both lamb tips. Next two pics he is heavily broomed on right side. Almost looks like a different ram. Even the drop to the jaw looks different. My initial judgement changed after looking at last pic and i would say mid 160's based on amount of...

    The future of BC Sheep

    Won't be a government decision: It will be in the hands of First Nations wildlife managers in most areas and if you think they care about getting $80K for a sheep, well they don't. And the small dollars generated by NR sheep hunters for government coffers is inconsequential. When you look at...

    The future of BC Sheep

    Had a birthday last week, and acknowledging i have more seasons in the mountain behind me than ahead has had me in a reflective mood. I know a lot of the folks in this section of the forum are non-resident hunters hoping to chase sheep in BC (or elsewhere in western Canada) so i'll share some...

    Any Goat hunters on here from British Columbia Canada?

    Not trying to be difficult, but that is a big ask. A good goat (or sheep for that matter) hunting partner is worth their weight in gold. It's not just a "i value my time out there a lot" component but also a "my life may depend on the choices my partner makes" facet as well. There is no way i...

    Canceling a bighorn hunt in Alberta

    Please show the scientific data pointing to the necessity of an age class of rams (either thinhorn or bighorn) that is more than eight years of age for the health of sheep herds in BC or Alberta.

    Canceling a bighorn hunt in Alberta

    If your definition of "trophy" is 180+ and/or twelve years old then you should probably book elsewhere.

    HPG Qui-Ya

    The Qui-ya carries similarly to the old Arc-teryx Bora packs. Because the stays are not stabilized horizontally there is a slight tendency for the pack to barrel a bit if its not packed properly. I have a first gen that is my truck pack, and while its not my primary hunting pack any more i...

    Best outdoors memory from 2022?

    Day 8 of a two week fly-in/float-out hunt for Stone's August of 2022. First full day of sunshine in over a week and we had just confirmed that none of the 15 rams on the next ridge were legal after a pretty grinding hike up some technical terrain. Think of it as more suited to goats than sheep...

    New Stone Glacier packs added

    I just showed She Who Must Be Obeyed the new Terminus 8700 and she said "Oh cool. They made a Whipsnake." A little coffee came out of my nose.

    What is Going on in Canada

    Nope. the Liberals were not voted in by the majority. The popular majority was held by the Conservatives, but because of our weird system we ended up with the Sock Puppet. Twice. And you should probably have a gaze over your fence, as it looks like Colorado is in for a rodeo in the next year.

    Missed/non-recovered game

    I have met more than one guy who buys a box of twenty rounds and feels they are set for the next four hunting seasons. The average Fudd picks his rifle up two days before season, hammers three downrange into a paper plate sized group at 75-100 yards and figures he has a critter slayin' death...

    What is Going on in Canada

    Act like a child, be treated like a child. The men who have moved the world like Gandi, Churchill and King did so quietly and with dignity. I was one of a million that defeated the Liberal's long gun registry here by quiet subversion and persistence . We will do it again.

    What is Going on in Canada

    SOME Canadians ARE very compliant. But not all...Be careful with generalizations, and never mistake kindness for weakness.

    Grilled Pb&J!

    Had a buddy of mine in AZ introduce me to this one twenty-five plus years ago... Two pieces of thick sliced bread (think Texas toast thickness). Smother in peanut butter and jam/jelly of choice. Add banana slices if desired. Take sandwich and dip in thick pancake batter. Deep fry. Sprinkle with...

    Washington Game Dept. at it again.

    They are following the change to rules to the north here in BC that happened a couple of years ago. There seems to be a more harmonizing of regulations across jurisdictions as it applies to "high value" game species.

    Bare shaft with a broadhead?

    A dull three blade vpa broadhead will punch through a ten ply truck tire sidewall with ease out of a 74# longbow...you can guess how i know.

    .308 Win. Barnes 130 TTSX

    I pulled a perfectly mushroomed .277 diameter 130gr ttsx from the offside hide of a decent black bear as i was skinning it out this spring. My buddy shot it at seventy yards, bear went ten yards.

    "You can't use a gun for self-protection..."

    The right to bear arms is not protected in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Self-defence is a tenet of English Common Law, but it must be proportional to the threat. There are court cases every year where someone proves that the defence was proportional to the threat in a shooting and they...

    Canada

    While i am definitely not a Nickleback fan, i can say that when they arrived in Vancouver from Alberta as kids they worked harder than any other band. They took lousy monday and tuesday night slots in little craphole clubs and treated their band as a job-at the rehearsal lockup same time every...
