    What keeps you from hunting OTC California?

    If there was a Dec or Jan hunt for blacktails I would probably travel there to give a try.

    Do you think a .357 would stop a brown bear attack ?

    Can a .357 kill a grizzly? Absolutely. Check out this article: https://www.ammoland.com/2023/06/handgun-defenses-against-bears-170-documented-incidents-98-effective/#axzz85xCGEFJo When comparing .357 vs 10mm both shooting heavy hard cast bullets, you get very similar numbers as far as energy...

    Sept In the Southern Brooks and Keeping Meat Cold

    It's not as much as it being cold as it is about getting the heat out and kept dry. Shade during the day with air flowing around it and it will stay good longer than what you would think. Moving from lake to lake, floating, it is imperative to not get the meat wet or it will spoil quick.

    Best moose saw option /packable??

    Personally prefer the silky bigboy. Use it for cutting wood as well as bone. Also great for skull capping a moose without banging up your knuckles.

    Fly fishing?

    Share the same sentiments as the OP and I ran my own trout guiding business. I specialized in using conventional spinning gear but different techniques than chuckin' spinners. I would get clients fairly often who had fished with other guides who only allowed fly fishing and they had a miserable...

    Mulchatna Caribou

    I would venture to say that with 94 brown bears killed, there probably isn't half that amount of people that even hunt bears there annually.

    Mulchatna Caribou

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't a large part of the herd decline attributed to hoof rot? Not knocking the predator control as that is a good thing for all animal species within the area. Glad to see them knock back the brownie numbers along with a few wolves. Edit: I see it was...

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    Nobody has been attacked other than you being offended and snarky because someone doesn't share your view. Carry on with your cwd whataboutism.

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    No kidding. People freaking out about cwd, but buy beef, chicken, and pork from the store that has all sorts of steroids, gmo grains, and who knows what else pumped into them.

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    I'm as calm as calm can be haha. The comment was about CWD. There are many similarities between cwd and covid, whether you like it or not.

    Ongoing Research on Transmission of CWD to Humans

    What was political about my original statement? You want to have a serious "nuanced" discussion, then by all means, but don't sit here and act like anyone who doesn't share your fear should be banned.

    CWD reminds me of the whole covid ridiculousness.

    180 VLD on Alaska moose

    Seen them go do down from a 7mm with the 168 VLDs. Killed the same just as they have with other calibers. Just know you aren't going to be taking a frontal shot. Broadside they made a mess out of the lungs, but I wouldn't trust them to penetrate well enough for shots that are not your typical...

    Packraft: Mule vs Explorer 42

    I'm buying a Mule this summer for this exact specific reason. I will use it for other adventures later on, but for right now it is to cross a river with my gear and a caribou in it.

    Neck roast - French dips

    This. I've found through experimentation that the neck is best used for roasts where the final presentation uses shredded meat. Sure beats spending a ton of time cutting and trimming all the sinew and everything else out of it. just divide into equal 2lb pieces and done with it.

    Your favorite print *hunting* magazine?

    From what I remember it was 98% US hunting. They would have some turkey hunting articles each spring and then some other waterfowl and upland sprinkled in there time to time. It's a lot of US big game hunting. I enjoyed it, I cancelled my membership last year after 5 years just cause I was...

    Ford vs Chevy (and GMC, I guess)

    GM's 6.0 engine is probably the most reliable engine out there. I'm not saying it pulls the best or gets the greatest mpg, but it is very dependable even when abused. They last as well. There is also a big difference in driving a half ton truck compared to a 3/4 ton truck. If going half ton...
