    Moose Hunt Cartridge and Bullet

    For years we hunted on a lake with really rocky shores. If the moose ended up running into the bush it would take hours and hours of extra time and effort to haul them back to shore and load them on the boat navigating boulders and trying not to break ankles or legs if you slipped and fell...

    Liberation Day

    it's in Canada, but Eagle mine in the Yukon just spilt an estimated 150k liters of cyanide contaminated water into the river. all from a broken pipe. this is after 19 million liters of other contaminated water was spilt from a containment pond. It's not all the time, but pretty bad when it...

    Instant coffee sticks

    lol, it’s just the worst thing I could think of, taste was absolutely gross. Makes me gag just writing this and thinking about it again 🤮 I tried 3 times as stubbornness runs in the family but ended up throwing it out with half a tube left. As much as I don’t want to support Starbucks, the...

    https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/full-tentipi-video-review-the-difference-is-in-the-details.396371/ These are awesome. Just had another great night on the lake where the temps hit -20C.

    Truck Camp - Kodiak Canvas, Springbar vs Wall Tent

    get a tipi tent, less than 5 minutes for setup and a ton of room for 2. packs up smaller than my pack and only weighs 30 pounds. very efficient heating as the stove is in the middle of the tent. issues are the space along the outside is only good for storage of gear and the size I have is...

    Training for Newfoundland Moose Hunt

    if headed out east to the island, start drinking heavily now so you can keep up with some of the locals, although that might not be the training you were talking about 😅😂🤣

    Tennis Elbow?

    make sure it is just a strain and not a tear. they diagnosed me with this and after a few months of rehab was still feeling like hell so went back to the doctor. they said imaging needed to be done but with the crappy medical we have in Canada it was almost 7 months later before the imaging...

    https://bearwatchsystems.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqnAEjQlWhLylwXkfvKEQYZ7OPRTfe0vto0ntLx5wJx67K0Lzjt this is what I use while hunting. had a Grizz hit it this fall and the sound that came out of him woke both me and my hunting partner up at 1am. It is long enough to go around my tent as well as...

    Instant coffee sticks

    It finally arrived, I don’t think I will ever have more. Great idea, but tastes like the bottom of my boot after walking through the pig barn

    Female sheep

    I am a really big fan of eating good meat. there is a noticeable difference between a bull and cow moose as well as caribou. also where I live and hunt there are no ewe tags that I am aware of but I will be asking about them when I head down to get my tags later this year. thanks for the...

    Female sheep

    Thanks guys appreciate the answers. In the NWT there are no ewe tags and I had never heard of them before and was curious. It’s not my thing to take the females in any species but I have been with some people who decided to take cow moose and there is a different taste to the animal, much...

    Female sheep

    The same could be said about all species which is why I ask. You could make the argument that taking the biggest male will reduce the gene pool as well as they can knock up over 10 females in a season. I have never seen or heard of ewe tags, bet they taste amazing

    Female sheep

    Why can I shoot a female in any other species but sheep? Is there a legitimate reason?

    Football fans???

    Andrew’s is an awesome tight end, this game will keep him up at night for a long time. Till next season anyway. Let the talk begin of Lamar not being able to win big games. He is so fun to watch

    Football fans???

    Rams made it close at the end. Hope hurts isn’t too damaged when he goes up against the skins next week. 3rd time playing each other this year so it should be interesting. Don’t think anyone picked the eagles vs the redskins in the NFC championship game at the beginning of the season

    Football fans???

    With the replay’s showing everything in slow motion why can’t they call in from New York and change the call? I heard talk of the “barstool” call where if 100 people watching in a bar all see it and all think the same way the bosses would call in and make the change. We have seen some of this...

    Football fans???

    I hear lots of talk about the ravens improved D over the last 8 games of the season. The only offensive team they played was the eagles. Hoping its an improved D that gets exposed today against a good offence Stopping Lamar and Henry is going to be hard but with the starting linebackers...

    Football fans???

    Darnold will get another contract from his play during the season. If the O line could block a bit in the last 2 games he would look better 🤣. He was drafted by the Jets and had to deal with Adam Gase don’t forget, that would traumatize anyone. How much is the product of a good coach? They...

    smoking

    Blaming the drug is like blaming the rifle and not the person behind it. Addictions are a bitch, doesn’t matter what forms they take. As for the question I had quite a few moose come right in to our calls while I was smoking a cigarette but I have never shot a rifle with a smoke hanging out of...

    Wiggy's sleeping bag sizing

    It might depend how you like to sleep. I have a wide long mummy and I like the length, but would actually like it wider as I am a little rounder than you are, 6’ and closer to 250 at the moment. The extra length helps me with the hood as mentioned above it isn’t what I was used to and shortens...
