    Bear Bait

    we used to do a thanksgiving dinner at deer camp every year when there was a big group and one year someone fried the turkey then dumped the oil nearby, the next day a guy in another camp down the way saw and shot a cougar which must have been coming in for the oil and carcass.

    Idaho Spring Bear

    i wonder if the bad elderberry crop there is similar to where i hunted last year in WA, i went there a couple weeks ago to harvest berries due to there being tons last year and when i got there, no berries and no leaves even. perhaps the cold snap earlier this year dropped them early

    7mag vs 30-30

    if the distance is short i would look at the sub-x bullet to be loaded in the 30-30 but the one i can shoot is a single shot so i'm also not limited to round nose bullets. i saw that nosler has a round nose ballistic tip i believe.

    December Giveaway - 100% USA Made Leg Gaiters
