    Sold S&W 460V (5-inch revolver) with case, ammo, & leather chest holster

    Forgot to mention in this listing, I am willing to ship to your FFL, in or out of state. Yeah, being able to practice with 45 Colt is one of the best things about it, and it feels like shooting a .22 with that round. Maybe that's an exaggeration but I hardly notice the recoil with those. Can't...

    Sold S&W 460V (5-inch revolver) with case, ammo, & leather chest holster

    Cashmere, WA. But I travel to the west side from time to time.

    Sold Two Remington 870 12 gauges: marine magnum w/folding stock, express magnum

    I'm selling both my Remington 870s to fund more fishing gear. First one is a Remington 870 Express Magnum 3" with a wood stock, just a good typical bird hunting gun. $300. Second one is a Remington 870 Marine Magnum 3" with a Choate folding stock, a pistol grip, and a Magpul pump handle. The...

    WTS Pristine Ventures PR-49 Packraft

    Cashmere, WA. But I can ship it if needed, or meet somebody half-way if they're fairly close.

    Sold S&W 460V (5-inch revolver) with case, ammo, & leather chest holster

    Selling my S&W 460V revolver and accessories/ammo for $1100 total. This 5-inch hand cannon shoots actual .460 rounds that pack about the same punch as a .500, but you can also shoot .454 Casull and .45 Colt ammo for some cheaper (and easier on the hands) practice. It's one of my favorite guns...

    WTS Pristine Ventures PR-49 Packraft

    Price: $950 I’m selling my Pristine Ventures PR-49 packraft, which I purchased in-person from the designer Larry Bartlett in Fairbanks, Alaska in 2014. It carried me through some great adventures, but I just don’t have a good use for it anymore with the kinds of fishing and hunting I’m doing...

    What's your favorite part of a hunt?

    Opening day, dawn, just as first light hits the hills and things become visible through binoculars. It's showtime with nothing but possibility ahead.

    Idaho Fish and Game Website problems

    I just finally got into the waiting room too.

    Catching Big Trout

    Here are some things to try: 1. This one seems obvious, but fish rivers known to hold above-average fish. Many creeks just don't have the food or temperature regime to grow them, and those can still be great fun, but if you're aiming for size make sure you're targeting waters where it's...

    Covid Booster

    I got the Pfizer booster as soon as I was eligible, in early December. No side effects except a little arm soreness that went away within a couple days.

    Back to work Vax status

    Getting a disease is still possible with practically any vaccine. Just like others, getting vaccinated against Covid on average reduces but does not eliminate your chances of catching it in the first place (less so now with Omicron, but still a reduction), reduces the severity of the illness...

    Pfizer clinical trial data: not good at all

    You're right, there are plenty of situations where it makes sense to consider absolute risk. That's what makes this lie in the video so nefarious -- all the most effective lies take little bits of pieces of truth, leave others out, and arrange them in a way that tells a false story. In question...

    Pfizer clinical trial data: not good at all

    "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." As a scientist with a heavy statistics background, I rely on statistics all the time, but I take very seriously the obligation to use them carefully. They can be misinterpreted even by well-meaning people with moderate-to-good...

    Remi Warren no longer hosting Cutting The Distance

    It would be nice to know what happened. I'll just unsubscribe to Cutting the Distance and subscribe to whatever Remi does. Obviously he is the whole show. Without him it's just some other hunting podcast. There are plenty of those already.

    Photos & lessons learned from my first (cow, rifle, backpack) elk hunt

    Yeah. Surely many of these are well known to experienced elk hunters, and I've read or heard most of them on websites/podcasts plenty of times, but these are still the things that really sank in when I experienced them firsthand. Elk lessons: Calling is fun, and it's useful for a lot more than...

    Photos & lessons learned from my first (cow, rifle, backpack) elk hunt

    However, the hike down the hill was not for nought. There was a very well-used wallow on the edge of a meadow in the valley bottom. I was getting frustrated that my familiar spot-and-stalk tactics didn’t seem promising in this country, because in order to spot an elk I had to be too far away...

    Photos & lessons learned from my first (cow, rifle, backpack) elk hunt

    It was time to hit the reset button. You know what I mean. The next afternoon I walked in to some easier country of a different character. I camped just below the peak of a small mountain with great views in every direction, overlooking countless miles of supposed elk habitat, but seeing...

    Photos & lessons learned from my first (cow, rifle, backpack) elk hunt

    The top of the basin had a gift for me: water! It trickled only briefly above ground at the tip top of the drainage. I was camped near some fantastic glassing views, but I couldn’t stay more than one night without a refill. I had to dig a hole and pump slowly while the spring refilled it, but it...
