Great podcast. The guy seems very grounded. You can hear the passion in his voice. I too thought it was all private. Take my hat off. One hell of a passionate hunter.
Hey All.
I’ll be hunting up out of Churchill this season with my son. Coming from Australia it’s a looong way. Be nice to tag a wolf and black bear but think we’re up too far north for black bears. The fishing should be good

I’m now using 147eldm in my 6.5prc for culling here in Australia. Mainly fallow deer. Just this weekend we took 12 does and the performance has been spectacular. so far the longest kill has been at 519 meters.
in the 2 seasons running the 147eldm I’ve taken close to 100 fallow deer, feral goats...
I was using the 143 eldx but recently moved to the
147 eldm in my 6.5 PRC. So far taken 30 odd fallow deer, 2 red stags and a few pigs and a heap of goats here in Australia. Both perform well that Id have no hesitation using either on elk sized critters.
cheers
Hi All,
Headed to Edmonton Alberta late November for a 7 day whitetail hunt.
Any recommendations or tips on what gear to bring and what to leave at home?
I will be hunt with an outfitter who will no doubt have a check list for me.
My plan is to bring rangefinder Binos, and my rifle / ammo with...
Planning on Mule Deer / Whitetail combo for 2021 and priority is a Mule with my son. Looking at Nebraska as an option for both.
We will be travelling from the other side of the world (Australia) so being non residents / aliens I think our only option would be over the counter permits or...
Hey All,
I'm just in the process of compiling components building a custom hunting .300PRC
Question I have is does anyone reload / hunt using 180gr projectiles. Am considering SSTX or Nosler accubond.
Not wanting to shoot extreme ranges but out to 700ish. Any real world experience or opinion...
I was the Meindl agent here in Australia many many years ago.
Jump onto their website and send them a email with photo. Their pretty good with customer support.
They look very similar to the Island pro model which is goretex insulated.

Just picked up a couple of packets of 180grn TTSX for my .300win mag for use down under on our sambar deer.
My barrel has a 1:11 twist which Barnes recommends as a minimum or faster.
Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with accuracy or stability with a 1:11 twist barrel using these...
Looking at the cartridge images here the case looks very similar to the euro 6.5x65RWS with its slightly rebated rim.
The 6.5x65RWS certainly is a great cartridge but really do we need another 6.5.
I feel there is so much development that could be done with the .277 as in projectiles, case...
Really hard decision to make as the answers are so divided. My opinion would be go with your own thoughts on this one. I personally break in to a degree, just as a piece of mind. Maybe one day we will have the answer were all after.
Cheers
