    I dont understand the hostility towards wolf reintroduction in Colorado

    Current estimates are that there are +20,000 grey wolves in Western Europe. There are also +200M people. All in an area roughly the size of the Mountain West and PNW (which has a population of ~25M). Despite having ~10x the wolves as the Western US, there are still huntable populations of big...

    Here we go again. MT Grizz re-introduction

    I've seen multiple sows each with cubs on a single carcass before. Bears are inherently unpredictable, but my experience is that boars will aggressively defend against all other intruders. Sows without cubs the same. Sows with cubs are very aggressive towards boars (and people), but can be...

    Here we go again. MT Grizz re-introduction

    A dead cow or elk could easily pull 7 bears to it though. I've seen a spring moose carcass pull a dozen different bears within a day. Is there black bear baiting in the area? Etc. Lots of possibilities.

    Copy of the contract, pics of the animals he killed, statements of other accommodations offered by outfitter but declined by the poster, outfitter had a walk in cooler to hang the quarters gave poster info on processors in the area he could use, and a few other things I can't remember...

    Not that I saw, but I didn't look yesterday.

    Deleted thread on WSO outfitter review.

    The surprising twist was the outfitter coming on and providing proof that the op was lying about most everything. Dude got a pretty great hunt at a bargain rate, even bringing a tag for an extra species not originally booked and paid for, and they didn't bat an eye.

    Here we go again. MT Grizz re-introduction

    Without more context about what was in that area, primarily what food sources, how can you say that that is not normal bear behavior? With the right food sources to draw bears in I've seen a hell of a lot more than 7 brown/grizzly bears in a single gang. Personally, I do think state management...

    Maybe without lead you wouldn't have ended up in the situations that resulted 4 ex wives and 4 decades of drinking?

    And I guarantee if you changed the bullet you used from lead to copper it will make zero difference 😉

    I really don't think that matters much in the end. Little 100lbs yearling does on muzzleloader hunts in corn fields had just as big of wound channels if I hit them in the actual shoulder. I swear you could've fit your arm through one of them I shot as a teenager. But if you slip the sabot in the...

    I still disagree, but as time slows again and again, the Internet is not a place people go to change their deeply helps opinions, even if they aren't grounded in reality. My muzzleloader experience was that copper sabots still did plenty of damage and dropped animals in their tracks (whether it...

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    As long as it goes vroom when I need it to, that's good enough for me.

    Looking back through the thread, you definitely have your responses to me confused with your responses/discussion with other people on here. But like I've said consistently, and like my dad taught me and his dad taught him: put the bullet in the right spot and nothing else matters. Teach the...

    I've killed plenty of deer and elk with .50 cal muzzleloaders pushing 300gr copper sabots at ~1200fps too and funny enough, when I poke the hole in the right place the critter dropped dead in its tracks. You do you, by all means. But don't kid yourself that lead bullets kill better than...

    I've killed plenty of whitetails, muleys, elk, and pronghorn over the years with lead and with copper using .270 and .300 Weatherby Mag. As long as the bullet is in the right place, they all tip over. When they don't, it's because the bullet didn't end up exactly where it should have. Move the...

    Well let's see, here are some of my DRTs from copper over the last several years. 30 feet on this bull 125 yards on this bull ~300-350 yards on my 2 of these caribou My daughter's cow at 227 yards This year's bull at ~225 yards (had to back away and climb a hill to have a shooting lane)...

    ???? Copper bullets create DRT animals whenever I use them. Sounds like operator error if your experience is different.

    Agreed. I made the switch to copper for my big game hunting several years ago just because even marginal improvements to risk exposure for my kids is worth it to me. I happily then discovered that copper rounds were highly effective, caused less bloodshot meat damage, and cost pretty much the...
