Please educate me on the practical benefits of puffy pants vs. simply base layer/hunting pant. I am 60 and cannot ever recall my legs being cold on a sheep hunt. Even glassing on windy ridges I just throw on my rain pants to break the wind and am fine.
There is no better example for doing thorough research BEFORE your hunt than the Alberta bighorn situation. All this information has been pretty readily available for several years now. No one should ever book a hunt at a show or otherwise just based on what an outfitter is telling you. No sane...
He’s been crapping on threads here for a few months now. As with all trolls, the best course of action is to ignore him.
Sorry about your Alberta experience.
If building rifles is fun for you go for it. Lots of guys love building rifles. Good on them.
But if not, it’s absolutely not a necessity. It’s not 1970 anymore. There are lots of factory rifles that are amazingly accurate. I daresay most of them are these days. Repeatable, precision machining...
I have two Sako Finnlights. One in .300 WSM and one in .270 Win. Both topped with Leupold VX3 4.5-14 x 40 scopes. They are 7 1/4 lbs. total weight (cartridges, sling included).
I use the .300 in grizzly country and the .270 in non-grizzly country.
Many of the guides and hunters I encounter...
Yep just like most all western states too. Which makes the treatment of nonresidents like red-headed stepchildren when it comes to hunting there all the more galling.
Yeah, let’s just forget all this “America” BS. Everyone must live, work and spend all their $$ in their own state. 100%. Heck, let’s begin building the walls.🙄
Cause, of course, no Alaskan ever went to the lower 48 to live, work, or go to school.
I’m familiar with his videos. Successful financially, good family man, owns/flies his own plane, knows areas all over the state like the back of his hand, finds big rams, hunts them on foot, kills them, and packs them out. I can easily see why men who don’t have those things going for them and...
It’s fine to reply to my post, but if you have to assume a bunch of other stuff I didn’t say but act as if I did to try to put me down and lift yourself up - that’s weak. (It’s called a “Strawman” argument BTW.)
Not to mention you also self-owned with the “we don’t buy our tags” bit. I assume...
Let’s see:
Cap on NR tags even further but unlimited resident tags is A-OK (Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, from every state/provincial resident who doesn’t hunt out of their state/province and thinks everyone else is a second-class citizen.)
If you are a NR, guided, or work hard...
Congrats on a great hunt! Personally, I am much more impressed with your story and photos than the ones we often see with hunters posed with young dead squeaker rams.
A few years back I needed a bighorn to finish my slam. Whenever I talked to any one the Alberta bighorn outfitters at the shows the hair stood up on the back of my neck. I have never had outfitters be so non-responsive/evasive when asked even the simplest questions. Just platitudes and...
WSF posts annual financial reports detailing every dollar spent and detailing where every dollar goes. The vast majority of the money spent goes directly to sheep conservation projects (either through state/provincial wildlife agencies or directly to sheep conservation groups doing the...
Nobody’s manipulating you. There are about a dozen or so auction tags for sheep sold each year that generate enough revenue to pr
The fact is that about a dozen sheep auction tags generate enough conservation revenue going straight to the sheep that they provide many more tags for regular guys...
This resentment of auction tag buyers has no other source other than jealousy/envy.
And it is taking root-with the end result being less $$$ for conservation and less tags for everyone.
Why don’t you haters spend your energy on those trying to take away hunting instead of ragging on a fellow...
