    Moving to Alaska

    Not quite true. If you cut it yourself it's a no-go but add a manufactured short barrel and it's fine. Example: you can buy a 10" Dlask 870 barrel, put it on your shotgun and pack it around and it's a non-restricted firearm. Back before they were deemed too evil to own, a 12" barrel on a AR...

    Sheep Hunt. Digital Camera, Cell Phone Camera or Both ??

    The InReach explorer weighs about 7.5 ounces. Paired to your cell phone with the earthmate app you can text. I use this unit a lot, both for work and recreation and it's rarely not in the pack, truck, boat, quad or snow machine.

    Beaver hunt in Utah, literally

    Yes, it pays to stay focused when setting 330's. :D I think they're all pretty much the same. The last one I bought (about 6 years ago) was from the bargain cave at Cabelas. I prefer the style that locks. My "go-to" in a 330 is the Belisle, top quality and they have good safeties on the...

    Beaver hunt in Utah, literally

    Well, it's an attractant and most dogs love to sniff things. They won't last long in a 330 and unless the dog owner is right there and knows how to open one without trap pliers it won't be a good outcome. More of a positive PR thing if you don't catch people's pets. :) I used the skinny...

    Beaver hunt in Utah, literally

    If you have open water and need a pretty good "dog friendly" set this rig up works well. Especially if you set in deeper water with a current. This is set upstream of a beaver lodge. There are 2 notches in the back of the V that holds a Belisle 330 It's then tethered to shore with a few...

    Sheep Hunting Terrain Variation

    I've DIY'ed sheep hunts in BC and Yukon and Yukon terrain is generally easier... usually... lol That being said there can be ugly almost anywhere and sheep are where you find them. This is the terrain my wife took her last ram in (YT). I think the topography is fairly indicative of alot of...

    Calgary/Edmonton Denver flight travel question

    Here's a potential time saving tip. If you check your firearms case before going through security at the airport, go and thoroughly wash your hands. If you get "randomly" selected for secondary screening there is usually a swab done for trace explosives, typically the hands and any laptop, etc...

    Best kid one liners

    We used to always do a summer trip to our family cabin. On one trip, the kids were about 5 through 7, we stopped at our usual last chance store for a few odd and ends and I picked up a couple of hunting periodicals. Once unpacked at the cabin I was going to go sit on the dock to read one and...
