    Black bear taxidermy ideas

    That mount really looks great! Shows off his collar beautifully. Right at home with his woodland friends.

    Southeast Alaska Mountain Goats

    You will earn your goat in that area. I did an OTC hunt with Ed Toribio/Primo expeditions out of Ketchikan last season. His operation covers Misty Fjords National Monument as well as the draw unit previously mentioned. Fantastic hunt with top notch logistics and people. Killed a 49 & 4/8ths...

    Maine Moose Hunting

    Very long odds on getting drawn, BUT an inexpensive opportunity for a lower 48 moose for NR's. Why not get in the game on the cheap? You never know...

    Newfoundland Moose "Adventure"?

    As to packing. A possible play is you and the guide will quarter and debone at the kill site. Each quarter gets it's own bag and tag. The deboned meat will await p/u when you're extracted from camp. (This is assuming you're on a fly in camp adventure). I know there was no way my guide was going...

    So who actually eats bear?

    Don't throw away the forearms or lower legs! They make an awesome osso bucco.

    2020 Newfoundland Moose Hunt

    There's a great thread on the quickly rising cost of DIY AK moose hunts. There are transporters quoting $8500 for flights into Brooks/40 mile Country. Right this minute, guided NL hunts are going for just under 6K. Yes, the bulls are the smaller Eastern Canadian moose where antlers can be...

    Newfoundland Moose Hunt with Gander River Outfitters

    Thanks for posting your tale of woe! It's a really tough read. I think a remote fly in camp is really the best option for NL moose. No locals, no ATV's and relatively non pressured moose. The camp I hunted in only took 8 hunters a year. Not that remoteness guarantees moose sightings, but I would...

    Goat hunting books or resources

    Ace Sommerfield's Mountain Goat Challenge is a good read. It's out of print, but available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Challenge-Adventures-Alaskas-Coast/dp/0978826019/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=mountain+goat+book%2C+ace&qid=1578417884&sr=8-2

    Bear Recipes

    One of my wife's favorite recipes for bear is an osso bucco of the forearms, lower legs. A lot of guys toss those cuts, but you would be surprised at how much flavor the right cooking method will bring out! Low risk, high reward.

    Scarpa Kinesis Pro GTX vs. Lowa Tibets

    I bought a pair of the Kenesis Pro GTX's and was impressed with the quality. They fit reasonably well at home and in early everyday wearing and light hiking. Once I seriously started backpack training at a 30 % grade ascending and descending everything went to hell! Hot spots, heel slip, crowded...

    A tale of two old goats

    Getting a long gun permit in NYC is a bit of a nightmare (by intention). The application is 9 pages long. You must have a written and notarized affidavit from each member of your household stating their awareness and acceptance of a firearm in the house. Then there is a single precinct house in...
