Great story JBrown1.
One additional Brown Bear story that occurred on my same moose trip I mentioned before. It was the only personal encounter I had where I felt threatened.
Day 1 of my moose hunt I tagged out. The guide and packer moved all of the meat and head back to camp which was about...
Mulie Mike at West Texas Hunt org is whom I went with. Excellent trip. Has access to multiple large private ranches. Prices listed on his web page. No games or hidden fees. He has DYI, Guided, Semi-guided, he has it all. He books out quite a ways. You’d be hard to find a better outfitter...
I honestly don’t think any one on this form would intentionally fire a round to do harm to some ones hearing. Whether it be at a public gun range or in a hunting scenario.
Public gun ranges without any rules as to where rifles with brakes can be fired from subjects all to possibly being next...
I’ll admit, I could have more clearly articulated my opinion in my initial post. It does make it sound like I don’t care. I care and do what I can control, to not impose on the surrounding shooters at the range. I’ll correct my true feelings and what I do. I appreciate you pointing out that...
Quotation marks ("") are used when directly quoting someone. i.e. restating something someone else said. No where in my post did I say what you put in quotations. Do not put words in my mouth!
I'll enlighten your assumption about my statement since you appear to be triggered by it.
The noise...
Growing up, rifles weren't commonly sold with breaks. I bought a SAKO Finnlight in 30.06 and shot that thing for the better part of 10-15 years before I would first buy a rifle with a muzzle break on it. Having a muzzle break wasn't the reason I bought it, as practicing at long range distance...
I am not an Alaskan native nor do I live in Grizz/Brownie country. I have been to Alaskan however 3 of the last 4 years to hunt, I always grew up being taught to hang food and anything scented away from camp, Makes logical sense, right.
My first trip to Alaska 4 years ago on a moose hunt, our...
I killed a 76.5” moose several years ago in Alaska. I paid the shipping taxi in Alaska big big money to make a custom crate and ship that rack & skull back all intact instead of cutting it and splitting the skull cap in half as I wanted to get it scored. Granted this is nothing I have ever...
On my Alaskan moose hunt a couple of years ago, after tagging out early, my outfitter came & pulled my guide and I off the mountain while black bear hunting because of an approaching storm. Once back at camp, another hunter was in route as well as he had just tagged out on his moose. Since it...
I was just asked to do this today. 15% annual with option to keep it invested for three years. Then full return on my investment. Can’t pull out money for a year though. I would rather have cash in hand I think.
I have a drop holster from Safariland for a .40 S&W. Took it on a West Texas Aoudad hunt climbing up and down steep terrain, through brush etc. It was the most uncomfortable & miserable thing I have worn to carry a sidearm. I took it off and put them both in my backpack the rest of the trip...
Agree, NRS is the more economical and lighter choice here. Not sure if Yeti makes one big enough for a Brownie, but if so it would be the heaviest and most expensive choice. I vote NRS.
Just confirmed with the wife on what comes in our Butcher a box. We receive the following:
- 12lbs of skinless Chicken Breasts

- 2lbs of ground beef monthly free for the ration of the...
It was down to the Hatch and the MDT Cyke pod Lightweight double pull for me. For the reasons above with the Hatch, I went MDT. I hated the price, but it’s similar weight to the Hatch but has better rigidity and is an easier tool to use and deploy than the Hatch IMO. If Hatch can get the bugs...
We have done Butcher Box for the past 3 years after we had had enough of the declining quality and taste of regular store-bought chicken. We do the custom box that costs us $169.00/month which includes shipping and no additional fees. It's mainly all chicken breasts, with a couple packages of...
Trust me, as you may well know, it is so foreign to aim that far back on a big game animal. 100% leap of faith and trust in my guide on that shot. Wish I would have grabbed a pic of the vitals but I forgot. I insisted we open up the chest to look. Bullet right through the heart.
100% ^^^^^^ and here is a description and a picture to help. Here is the carcass of my 2021 fall black bear. If you take the two red dots as being just inside the legs then the red hashed line transecting the body is the “MIDDLE” of the bears body. Now take the middle of the bears body from...
