    Mechanics of terminal performance

    As many of you are aware, forums, to include this one, have threads asking ad nauseum, will "x" cartridge work for "x" animals etc. This is fine, because, who doesn't enjoy reading about peoples experiences and it's good that some hunters are willing to ask questions. It's the opinions...

    LPVO style scope for 375 Ruger

    I recently came across a Ruger Hawkeye FTW hunter in 375 Ruger for a price I couldn't pass up. Some cerakote a new stock and a suppressor should make it look nicer. Now I'm wondering what scope I should put on it? Leaning towards an LPVO type optic, 1-8 or something similar. The NX8 seems...

    Spartan Davros setup for mountain hunting?

    I've always been anti bipod because I don't like carrying things that only provide one function. I recently ran across the Spartan Davros system and that seems really appealing to me for sheep and all other hunts but wanted some feed back from other lightweight mountain hunters. I'm leaning...

    Which 10x42 Swaros for all things Alaska hunting?

    Well I've had the itch to get some new 10x42 binos lately. Lucky for me my wife works at a retail store, so I pay a visit every so often to look at things and see what the employee discount might be on things I like. Pretty sure I end up spending more than she makes there. I started looking at...

    A great trip to the Wrangells

    I was fortunate enough to spend some time in the Wrangells with my wife, a friend and his son over the last week. It took us two days getting in with two days of hunting and another two to get out. 18 miles by atv, 8 by raft and 23 on foot. We indulged in some top notch grayling fishing between...

    Gstove heat and view in an AO igloo

    My wife and I have always hunted together since we started dating. So naturally when our daughter was born we were not going to stop hunting together. We did however need to start thinking of ways to make camping and hunting trips more feasible with a newborn. That prompted us to purchase an...

    Sealing SG load cell dry bag

    I finally added a load cell dry bag to my Stone Glacier pack setup and realized it leaks blood pretty good on my last hunt. I felt it mitigated some of the blood transfer to the rest of my gear but not completely. Anyone have experience sealing the seams on theirs? It's a fairly large seam but I...

    Cooper backcountry to a Barrett fieldcraft

    Considering rehoming my Cooper backcountry in 7 rem mag and buying another fieldcraft. I really like the Cooper and it shoots under 1/4 MOA when I do my part but I seem to always grow bored of guns for some reason. I bought a fieldcraft in 6.5 CM for the wife and it shoots under half MOA every...

    Gunbearer on SG sky talus

    Looking for some thoughts and input on using a Kifaru universal gunbearer on a Stone Glacier sky talus. I'm currently using stone glacier's quick release sling and it just isn't working for me for a few reasons, biggest one being how it pushes the stock into the back of my shoulder. I'm not sure...

    traditional archery advice

    I've been tossing around the idea of hanging up my Mathews and start hunting with a recurve or longbow. I know a fair amount about compound stuff but not entirely sure where to start with something traditional. My primary archery hunts are for moose and bear. Any advice would be greatly...

    Archery success with my 2 year old

    Just got back from a week long hunt with my wife and 2 year old daughter. I was fortunate enough to take my first P&Y black bear with my daughter sitting in the stand with me. This old bear only made it 4 yards after getting arrowed and my daughter got quite the kick out of watching the bear...
