    Best wheel gun setup for griz protection?

    I’m a revolver fan and have owned quite a few and carried most all in the field. In my opinion any of the large calibers would work and none will seem big enough! haha My favorite is a 45 colt using a 335 grain HC big meplate bullet over a stout load of W296 Carried in a 4.75” Blackhawk. It is...

    Anyone else get a COVID stimulus fund today?

    Holy cow. I didn't have a clue that we were getting one till I read this thread! Haha. I just looked and I have an extra 1200 bucks! Thanks for keeping me updated on whats going on in the world!

    Snowshoe advise

    I use 30” atlas shoes. They have good flotation and you can step backwards with them. Important if you are in brush. If I were looking at current shoes, I’d look at the msr shoes as well. If you are talking only 8 inches or so, you could get away with almost anything and be happy. Maybe a...

    What’s the coolest thing you found in the back country

    One year out moose hunting. We were trying to cut a new trail down to a river to save us an hour travel on wheelers. We are several hours ride from any road and way off any trail. While taking a break and trying to figure our next move I looked down and saw something poking out of the ground. I...

    Wall Tent LED lanterns

    For our moose camp we use wheelers to get to where we camp and have two wall tents. One for sleeping and one for cooking and hanging out. We switched to the streamlight led lantern for the sleep tent just because you can walk in and hit the button. The biggest negative is that they aren't very...

    Favorite Bourbon Opinions

    I bought a couple of those 2L oak barrels as Christmas gifts for my sons. I can't wait to see how they work. It sounds like you can put in a decient bourbon like woodford reserve and with the small barrels you only have to age it for a month or so and it is equivelent to a full size barrel aging...

    Non load carrying daypack?

    It's amazing on how many choices. I'm kind of a hands on guy and so I'm going to try and find some local, hopefully, to compare. It doesn't look like ill be able to see very many because the lack of stores that carry these packs. It looks like a lot of the suggestions are from guys that want to...

    Non load carrying daypack?

    Wow, I’m liking all of the suggestions. I’m starting to narrow down the wants and I think I’m going to stay frameless or maybe one with a stiffener. Weight is an issue. My pack seems to weigh more than I want already! Haha

    Non load carrying daypack?

    Thanks for that but I'd rather have a full length cargo area and at least one outside pouch/pocket that I could strap my tripod to. Looks like a deceint daypack though

    Non load carrying daypack?

    I did read on that pack and it does look pretty nice. Does it have a top grab handle? I don't see one in the pics.

    Non load carrying daypack?

    I am hoping to get some advice for a new daypack. It looks like most people want a daypack that they can carry their animal back out with but my requirements are a little different. I spot and stalk hunt and when I get an animal we try and get as close as possible with wheelers and then use...

    Mossberg 500 - 20 gauge combo

    The Mossberg is a very affordable shotgun and it is also a very reliable shotgun. I think it would be a great setup and another great thing with the 500 is that there is a ton of options to customize it, both to him and to whatever you are hunting.

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Several years ago a buddy and I are out on a late season hunt and there is quite a bit of snow on the ground. We are several miles back nowhere near any trail other than game trails. We came upon a small tent set up in a pretty thick area. I remember that we called out so not to freak anyone out...

    Buddys old man dropped his OIL idaho bull

    Congratulations! Pretty neat to see a moose in sage brush. I would have never imagined it! Good job.

    Sh!tty Packs

    I'm not really sure what to say? With all of you making fun of my current gear and all. My pack frames are so old and modded that I have no idea what brand they even are. I think my newest one 23-25 years old! I just figured that when packing out moose, they were heavy! And the older I get the...

    Why no love for the Ruger Hawkeye?

    I hunt with the Hawkeye Alaskan in 375 Ruger. I love the short barrel for where we hunt in the thick brush. It is very accurate and has done great for me on moose, caribou, black bears and grizzly bears. Someone mentioned having an issue feeding a single round, I haven't had an issue. The claw...

    Bone saw review

    Great write up, Thank You! Like you, my Wyoming saw is my work horse but to heavy to pack. I have one of those folding Gerber saws but it is very old and the blades are all bent up. I also have an old buck t handle saw that is sturdier but it never cut bone well, kind of big and has a leather...

    Moose gutless or conventional method?

    I’m not sure how they come up with some of their rules. The leaving meat naturally attached to bone has to do with waste. It seems that the units that have the no bone out rules also have a federal subsistence hunt in that same area so that might be why. On large game I can’t understand why...

    Moose gutless or conventional method?

    We do the gutless method as well. It sure is sad to read how some hunters knowingly leave edible meat behind. Kind of makes me sick and seems disrespectfull. There is one area that we seem to have a little struggle and someone else touched on it and it is sawing off the ribs while the guts are...
