Take those O2 bottles you can get from most stores. I take a bigger bottle for camp and the small one for the pack. Not a replacement for acclimation but it helps.
This gun seems nice overall. About 100 rounds down the tube. Selling because I don’t shoot it and I’d rather use the money for a gun I enjoy shooting. Not in a rush to sell and prefer face to face, Tucson/Vail, AZ
Bullets are 180gr Berger Elite Hunter loaded in Lapua brass(113 loaded). In total...
Had this happen to me last year. 1300 feet followed by a 12 drive with a 5ish mile hike to 10k. Didn’t feel great after the first day, bailed the second for a night in town. While down there I bought some of those small o2 bottles. Sucked that down like candy when I went back up if I started...
I did two skulls this past spring for the first time. After cleaning the brain out with baling wire I simmered for 8ish hours in water and dawn until everything but bone was left. Used a garden hose to clean it off. Things I didn’t read about online are the bottom jaw will split and the teeth...
Most of those places won’t have a lot of areas where you can sit and glass(successfully with a good chance to kill) like spring bear in more open areas. Find a decent trail and walk until you find food and sign that they have been eating that food. Then find difficult to access water and hang out.
I had some similar occurrences as a child. Not sure why, no real memory or anything occurred it just started one night. I would wake up to random figures or people standing outside my bedroom door. Spent a lot of time under the bed or screaming for my parents like a baby. It only happened in my...
I got the Ruger because I could find one, the barrel was already threaded, short, and I like my other calibers in the Ruger American. The 5.56 is not smooth, shoots fine, but I’m not as pleased with it as I am with my other two. I will probably keep it just because I have it and need a couple...
I’ve got that bag. Pretty decent. I’m 5’10” and if I were going to buy it again I’d get the tall version. I also started dabbling with quilts, have a 10 deg El Coyote which has been nice thus far. Haven’t used it below 30 yet. I’d imagine there are some threads on here that have hashed this out...
Recommend reading Douglas Blaze’s book, Ultimate Guide to Black Bear Hunting or something close to that. If memory serves me correct he has a good bit of data on calling bears.
