    Bison Quarters

    Save your back and legs, use a game cart or jet sled with pull harness. Even better, use a skidoo and shoot them where you can pull the skimmer directly alongside.

    Snowshoe Hare with bow?

    Bring a small shovel with you. If you miss your shot, go to where it went into the snow and scoop every foot until you find it, they don't usually go far or deflect once in snow.

    Average cost of a Moose hunt

    Seems expensive:ROFLMAO:. My last one went about $100 for the tag, gas and freezer bags. It almost makes the 13 months of winter worth it.

    Switched dogs to raw diet...WOW

    Not sure if I am more knowledgeable, but our dogs get fish spines, and tails. Haven't had an issue yet. Typically pike, char, trout and whitefish.

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

    I have enough black bear hides kicking around. I take the meat and skull only now. Regulations recently changed where you can leave the hide in the bush as long as you take the meat. Bear makes for great smoked ham. Next grizz, I will take both hide and meat. Not too many salmon bears where I am.

    Black bear shoulder shots

    I habitually shoot for the shoulder, but I wait until the onside shoulder is back covering the vitals, if quartering I aim for the opposite shoulder. This puts my bullet through the vitals and takes a shoulder. Not a fan of tracking critters with sharp teeth and claws through thick stuff.

    Trapping success pics

    Any reason the trapping success pics thread is in the predator hunting subforum and not the trapping subforum??? Picture of my first wolverine. It wrapped a 7ft long 1/8th snare up into an 8" long mess
