    Moose hunt in Finland (or Sweden)

    Maybe search around Google for some Finish moose hunts. I’ve watched a few Finnish hunts on Wild TV and read a few stories. Not at all like hunting moose in North America. - they use dogs to drive or bay them - big groups of people hunt together - radios in use - “any moose is a good...

    Kuiu (Or other) Jacket Recommendations Requested

    Kenai hooded jacket is a favorite active winter insulation piece for me for cross country skiing, shooting sporting clays, going to town, etc in cold weather. Outer fabric is quiet, but is quite thin, not suitable for brush in my opinion. Peloton 240 hooded jacket is a favorite for fall and...

    Critique My Gear for August NWT Dall Hunt

    Reckoning with lid went on several DIY 10-12 day backpack stone sheep hunts in BC and a guided Dall hunt with Canol in the NWT. Also many DIY caribou and moose hunts in BC, plus guided caribou in NWT & Nunavut. With the lid and careful gear selection it was large enough for me and all the meat...

    Compact binos?

    Leica Ultravid 8x32 @ 19 oz's have served great me for 19 years. Mine are pre-HD and I still like 'em, but have never looked through the HD series to see how much difference there is. Mine have never needed servicing and are still tight in the joint, focus is smooth etc. Might find a used...

    Do you take your clothes off to sleep on a backpack hunt?

    "The elite hunter likely will know how to spot and avoid poison oak, and may be using permethrin on their boots - and can get away with climbing into their sleeping bag with their clothes on. The problem is when they then tell the whole interwebnets that they've "never had a problem with it"."...

    Do you take your clothes off to sleep on a backpack hunt?

    Directed at Rock and Sage: I totally disagree with you in the above post and am in ColeyG’s camp all the way. And I’ll put my 50 yr back country and bowhunting experience around North America way up there….from polar bears out on the ice for 11 days in February to lots of mountain hunts around...

    Do you take your clothes off to sleep on a backpack hunt?

    I'll sleep in my hunting clothes unless it is too warm. Sleeping in wet clothes is the only way to dry them out on some hunts, and as mentioned above its nice to be dressed to save time and avoid getting cold while dressing. In the event you have to deal with "stuff' at night....taking a leak...

    2 bags, how cumbersome?

    I took my 15*F KUIU Superdown bag (very snug dimensions) along with my 15*F Mt Hardware synthetic bag (slightly larger dimensions than the KUIU) up polar bear hunting in the Arctic in February. Total weight was about 5#s and they were more than adequate in a tent. I never totally zipped the...

    New Sevr Hybrid

    Hybrid will be a big improvement for blood trails in my opinion based on poor performance of the old Ulmer Edge 1.5" heads that I used it extensively in 2013-14 with rather poor results in several cases.

    Kuiu HD Mud Boots - any feedback by chance?

    Look similar to the Canadian Tire's Huntshield insulated camo rubber boots which I really like. Bought mine on sale for $120 Canadian $. I like the fit a lot better than Muck boots for hiking around.

    Has anyone used their bear spray?

    I was bowhunting spring black bears and two friends both had grizzly tags. Found some sign during the day where a good bear took a dump on an old logging road. Took it to be a black bear. Hunted the logging road that evening the last hour of daylight after the thermals switched to downhill...

    How many releases do you have?

    Two B3 Hawk index finger nylon tethered releases and two old Scott Itty Bitty Goose index fingers that never get used. Also a Carter gen 1 Evolution and Scott hinge, used to get me thru target panic many years ago. Also have a few releases from the ‘70s and ‘80s.

    Thoughts on 32 grain vmax out of the 204?

    Had a splash with a 39 gr Sierra on a coyote. Got it but poor performance in that case. Great prairie dog bullet and accurate as heck in my Cooper and Remington 700 with a 1 in 11” twist Pac Nor. 35 gr Bergers are good for coyotes. My Inuit guide in Nunavut shot a grizzly with his .204...

    Bow brands of years past...

    Don’t think startrek has much to do with killing the recurve. When Allen invented the compound and Jennings took it to a higher level, people got on board quickly. I bought my Jennings wood riser compound in the fall of ‘74 with scholarship money from a mining company, haha. Ffinished up my...

    NWT Sheep gear decisions help

    I carry a Swaro 20-60x65mm HD angled Magnesium body spotter made 13 years ago, along with a phone scope. Worked fine for me on the 8 DIY bowhunts for Stones before I got a ram, and on a following hunt where my buddy arrowed his ram. I always digiscoped rams to really judge age and horn length...
