    Gheenoe Build

    Will try to get one when I get back home. There are extra holes in the mounting bracket and bnasically two bolts go through those straight into the jackplate Wanted to double check this, as I'd heard several different pronunciations. Per Pugar Gheen himself, you are spot on- Ghee (like...

    2024 Antelope meatpole

    Watched this dude pushing about 10 does and a few smaller bucks around for the better part of an hour. Mid point unit and he won't score especially well, but he was so funky and cool I couldn't pass. Phenomenal memory chasing these beautiful animals.

    Bushnell cellular trail cams

    Man cell cameras seem to be such a hard nut for companies to crack for some reason. I've tried one of Mossberg's cell cams and the supposedly high end Barn Owl... both total trash, very similar experiences to yours. Sorry you got hosed the same way

    Throwing charges, weight variance

    Disassembled and weighed the components of a partial box of Federal factory stuff I had a few years ago, out of curiosity. Charge weights variation averaged around .3 grains, with an outside spread of half a grain between the min and max I measured. So, for whatever it's worth, everyone getting...

    New Year, Same Story

    Bump for another dude apparently trying to get hunting outright banned in our state https://www.wtvr.com/news/local-news/amelia-county-man-dead-dogs-sept-10-2024 Sometimes the worst thing in a debate isn't someone really good on the other side, it's someone really stupid on yours.

    Gheenoe Build

    Both. Lots of smaller outboards that have become artificial reefs by use of the latter Played around with the prop a little more. The first Solas aftermarket three blade prop I got was pretty good, but would still slip a little at the top end. Went ahead and got a 4 blade Solas Amita (10 pitch)...

    Looking For Suggestions - (Elk) Mountain Rifle Build Shooting Copper

    This would be a great choice. I've been shooting copper exclusively for 7 years, and a mountain rifle in '06 pushing a quality mono is perfect for elk. I load 168 grain Barnes TSX in mine, and get similar velocities to factory .300 WM ammo. Have killed two mature Nilgai bulls with that load...

    WTS '00 Chevy S10 (Wasilla, AK)

    Figured there might be someone on here who could use a work truck, and it was a bit of a process finding a good one up here. Got this in May and put a little over a grand into it. New CV axles, new power steering lines, new O2 sensors, new diff fluid, new coolant, oil change. Been a great...

    Moose weather - what is warm?

    Sounds like everything you've got is spot on. One more thing via meat preservation... remember that the ground is a big heat sink. I've used Larry's meat cache technique a few times, which was basically putting quarters on top of a series of larger rocks so that the rocks pull heat from them and...

    Moose weather - what is warm?

    Exactly what I'm thinking- with the cloud cover keeping things on the cooler side, I'm guessing we should still have a decent opportunity for the first few hours of each day when it's still in the mid 40s. Area I'll be hunting is 1500-2500 MSL too, so could even be a few degrees chillier than...

    Moose weather - what is warm?

    Just had a client cancel the 4 days after labor day and was trying to forecast how effective calling would be with temps forecasted to hold right where they are now. Good time of year, but wish temps would drop another 5-10 degrees. How much of a connection do you see between photoperiod and...

    My August 2024 Dall Dream Hunt

    Our sport and the resources we use would be so much better off if more people had the maturity to make this call. Hats off and hope you got it done.

    So the person survived a Grizzly bear attack by killing the bear, but the rest of us should do it differently. Makes sense, right?

    Seems the same guys who disparage bear spray as ineffective generally are the same ones carrying .454 Casulls and .44 mags... would be interested to see how many of them could put multiple critical hits on a moving target under stress with those things.

    So the person survived a Grizzly bear attack by killing the bear, but the rest of us should do it differently. Makes sense, right?

    I have, twice. Both times were inquisitive, younger bears that got a shot of spray, decided it was outside their comfort level and left. Only once have I seen a bear I felt like I needed a gun for, hunting the north slope a few years ago. Larger boar that very clearly knew what we were, and...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    Looooool Thoughts and prayers for everyone in there the next few days... pretty rowdy trough headed our way looks like. Today and tomorrow morning good opportunities, but could get dynamic in a lot of the state after that

    Two Rifle Setup - What Would You Do?

    A small, handy 7mm-08 and a larger, more distance capable 6.5 PRC would be a hard combo to beat.

    WTB 7mm-08

    Got a buddy looking for a general utility hunting rifle in 7mm-08. Preferred high points would include 20 or 22' barrel, lightly used or new, no optic, and synthetic or composite stock. If you've got something similar to the above, shoot me a PM! Thanks in advance.

    No Big Game Tags Drawn, is this normal?

    That category is going to look very, very different even just a few years from now. Probably a lot like the above

    No Big Game Tags Drawn, is this normal?

    Yes. Lot of "instagram vs. reality" in the world of western hunting these days. The dudes you see drawing tags consistently are either A) loaded, or B) at the point of executing a plan they've been actively cultivating for five to ten years
