    Need Advice: CO High Fence Meat Hunt - Cow Elk vs Buffalo?

    This should give you an idea on what to expect from a bison (the chart is bison specific). Your CWF weight will be less too. AGE IN YEARS AVERAGE DRESSED WEIGHT (LBS.) (WT.-RANGE) AVERAGE LIVE WEIGHT (LBS.) (WT.-RANGE) 1 370 2 459(393–518) 865(795–995) 3 504(425–580) 968(945–1150)...

    Stone sheep along the cassiar highway?

    If you're doing an up and back trip consider going the Alaska Hwy (Alcan) on the way back, couple of hours longer but different scenery and probably see more animals.

    Stone sheep along the cassiar highway?

    You'll probably see more bears than sheep on the Cassiar- sighting are pretty few and far between. But you might get lucky. :) Boya Lake campground is a nice stop just north of Dease Lake. Also remember that you'll have no fuel stops between Dease Lake and the Junction of the Cassiar and the...

    Family room/great room size

    Do at least a 9 ft ceiling in the basement. My cousin built a house a few years back and the feeling of a grander area in the basement was amazing. Mind you he is 6 and half feet tall so that might have been his reasoning behind that. :) I have seen other "regular human" sized people do the...

    Truly waterproof camera

    Looking for a camera I can snorkel with, dip in a creek and take pics as well as just general day to day stuff. Any recommendations? I see there are a couple of 2 year old threads but what's the current best bet? $500 give or take a couple of hundred. Point and shoot or similar with some...

    Single best pic you've ever taken

    A couple of my (many) favorites just hunting. Had to reach back into the archives a bit but... :) Bear hunting with my daughter ( some of you may have seen her in the "She got it done" sheep thread) And whitetail hunting with my wife (2012)

    Custom Home - Must Haves?

    Some one already mentioned it but a Butler's pantry. Also a large ensuite which includes the obligatory heated floor, heated towel racks, double sink vanity, separate shower and tub, and a toilet "closet": ie separate mini room for the toilet with a door!

    Looking for Advice: Guided Moose Hunt – Alaska vs. Yukon Territory (Outfitter Recommendations etc.)

    4 Yukon companies that come to mind are Ceaser Lake Outfitters (south east) Rogue River (sort of mid east) and Blackstone Outfitters (north east). A south west YT outfitter would be Kusawa Lake Outfitters. Haven't hunted with any of them (because I'm a YT resident) but do know people connected...

    Flying to Canada: Best Practices

    I'd check with your credit card company to see what sort of travel insurance they might provide. I travel to the US a bit and my card covers me quite well for trip cancellation/interruption as well as medical and auto rental.

    Sheep hunt gun recommendation

    Out of those three, I personally would roll with the .280AI. But I might be a bit biased as my mountain rifle of choice is a 6.5 CM. :) Even for grizzly it's fine. My hunting partner took his grizzly with his grandad's .270 with no fuss or bother. It seems like a lot of talk revolves...

    Super Kodiak value

    "The Super K's have it marked on the riser, below the grip." Look for something written on the limb such as "45# @ 28" or similar also the bow length is usually on it as well IE: 56"

    14 Day Stone Sheep Gear List - Resident DIY, Solo, Early August

    I think a better option is the Kuiu Attack glove instead of the Guide. I look at gloves as hand protection first, warmth second .... maybe I slip and fall down more than most. :D I wear the lighter gloves all day even in early August and I find they are warm enough until the mid Sept hunts.

    Am I out of my mind for thinking about sheep?

    No negatives at all. My kid took her first ram (which was also her first animal) with my 6.5 CM. Positive mental attitude on the mountain is your biggest strength. You can always go slower or take longer to get somewhere if not in the best shape but a mental defeat sends you home. Slow and...

    Who ate the most tags last year?

    Didn't cut any of my tags last year. So negative on sheep, caribou, moose, black bear, grizzly and bison. Oh well, $65 to play. But I did get to hunt with my daughter and help her tag her first Dall ram so the rest is whatever.

    Moving to Alaska

    I guess if you're coming up from Idaho you'll be on the Alcan (we call it the Alaska Hwy). Did you say Aug/Sept? If so then fuel won't be an issue. The longest haul will be between Fort Nelson, BC and Watson Lake, YT and there are usually a few small gas stations still open along that stretch...
