    Moose hunting 101

    I'm a few hundred miles north of you in sask. Our rut down south is in full swing Oct 1. This is the best time for calling. Unfortunately our otc season doesn't start until Oct 15 and while it is still possible, they don't come charging I'm with crazy eyes. The last week or so of Sept is also...

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    Thanks. The 150ttsx hasn't let me down yet. Couple moose have fallen to that combo for me and a few deer as well.

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    Lefty 308, vx3hd 4.5-14 x40, ti bolt handle, yodave spring, talley lw, I modded the stock by adding a arca plate in front of the mag. Comes in at 7lb2oz empty. It shoots 150ttsx and 155 scenars into the same group out to 330yds or so. I just shoot scenars after that. Both are at 2960fps. It's...

    Matt Rinella and Jim Shockey

    I'm not familiar with his bowmar dealings. I like aron and I like kifaru. He seems like a no BS type dude that's not afraid to say what's on his mind.

    Matt Rinella and Jim Shockey

    I'm not a huge fan of either. Matt would be totally unknown if it wasn't for his brother and Jim is a sellout. I listened to the hunt quietly with aron Snyder and was wishing the whole time that Snyder would say what he was actually thinking but he was being pretty conservative. I would give...

    Are there any “cool” sun or boonie hats out there?

    I've been wearing tilley hats for quite a while now. They are made in canada ad have a lifetime warranty. Brims aren't super floppy and available in lots of colors and styles.

    338 Ruger Compact Magnum

    Blc2 is what mine seems to prefer. Have taken a few bears with it. 185ttsx at 2900 or 200gr fed fusions at 2850. Mine is a left hand m77 compact.

    If you were to buy a timber gun…

    Mine is a ruger m77 compact in 338rcm. Makes a super handy thumper of a bush gun.

    Stove other than lightweight options in SO tipi

    It's bigger than the trekker. Not actually sure what model it is. It's about 14x14x22 if I had to guess

    Sevr Broadheads

    How are they for rattling in the quiver? I used to use ulmer edge and loved them except for the rattling noise when I shot.

    Long range left hand rifle recommendations

    Honestly, you would probably be well served to buy a used tikka with the proper bolt face. Get the barrel removed and sell it as well as the stock. I'm using prefit ibi barrels with a barrel nut so it only takes a few minutes to switch calibers so I can go from 22-250ai to 6.5x55 to 280...

    Consolidated Dictionary & Guidelines for Backcountry Hunter dialect

    What about gamechanger? it seems every new piece of "kit" is a gamechanger. Ex: The new heated steering wheel in my Tacoma rig is a real gamechanger. It really keeps me in the backcountry so much longer.

    Who else is ready?

    Looks like it will be a slow spring in saskatchewan this year. Forecast doesn't look to be above freezing in the next 2 weeks. Season starts 04/15 but I'm thinking snow will be in the bush until mid may.

    1-Ply or 2-Ply Toilet Paper for First Backpack Trip

    I used to use silnylon but it's just too heavy. Now I'm running cuben fiber squares.

    Tikka 6.5x55 Swede

    If you handload it doesn't give up much to a 6.5-06 or for that matter the prc. 2850 is easy enough with 140s.

    Broadhead Flight Issue

    It's not exactly an exact science. Different people have different opinions. Dudley says to move fp towards bh and that has never ever worked for me. I get bh flying with fp out to 80 yards. It's difficult and everything has to be perfect. I've always had better luck with mechanicals so...

    Another truck tire thread

    The last new tires I've had on my truck were: bfg ko2 - threw rocks like crazy and wouldn't stay balanced Duratracs- lasted 80000 km and were a pretty good tire but got noisy at 50 percent tread life. A lot of my travel is o gravel and all the tread rounded off pretty early in life. Firestone...
