    Spring Guided Hunt for One

    Around here, it’s hard to find anyone to commit to a hunt outside of the state. Almost all of my hunts are solo. Just let the outfitter know ahead of time.

    Hunting in Griz Country— handgun or bear spray?

    Both, because one of them will work. Just finished a Glock 20 for backpacking, 2# 6.9oz loaded. Liking that.

    Keeping bear meat vs hide only... what do you do?

    I’ve heard of bad bear meat, but never had it. Lucky I guess. I’m bringing it all out. If the meat’s not good, I’ll throw it out.

    New Easton HIT Collars

    Guess I’m the odd man out. I’ve been using VPA footers for years, no glue and no problems. Cheaper than IW or Easton. The Easton’s don’t look to be as long as the VPA or IW.

    Bear Calling?

    Tried a coon pup electric call up in Minnesota a couple years ago with no luck. Maybe bears don’t like coon?

    Frontal shot on whitetails

    From ground level at 20 yards, I wouldn’t hesitate. From 25’ up in a tree at 20 yards, no shot in my opinion.

    Do you bow hunt during gun season?

    If I remember to pick up a shotgun tag, I bow hunt in the gun season. If I don’t, spend a few days relaxing and regrouping.

    Fixed Blade vs Replaceable Blade Knives

    My vote is both. Carry a Benchmade fixed blade and a 3” Outdoor Edge. They both have their place and uses.

    Leupold vx3hd 4.5-14 failure

    I guess I don’t see how that’s Leupolds fault. With it screwed out that far, it definitely looks like user error. Locking ring was not properly tightened down. I have 4 of the vx3i scopes and never had one single issue.

    300 Weatherby? Take the 300 wsm, it has all the advantages.

    I could look it up on the website, or you could. Not being a SA, but Wyoming has one of the easiest sites to navigate.
