    Has anyone used the Sierra Gameking Tipped 110 Gn in 257 wby mag?

    I used Nolser AB data to start, and settled at 64.0Gr of imr4350 (max). I think they are a great bullet in that cartridge.

    On hunting with less efficient weapons

    Passion for all different hunting methods exist on a continuum. Some bowhunters are also year around archers, just like there are rifle loonies who burn multiple pounds of powder in the offseason. At the other end you have the "i screw my broadheads on the day before season" and "i only need a...

    Wallop VS Authority. What’s the difference?

    In an effort to be inclusive and open to "other ways of knowing", we should be honest about the language being used and how it is hurtful: "Authority" implies a patriarchal "power over" dynamic that is hurtful to those not so empowered. "Wallop" implies violence and as we know all violence is...

    How many Brow tines?

    Two brow tines on either side before the bay, but that doesn't matter as it's well over the magic 50 inch mark. Those lower main palm tines are unreal.

    Another influencer in the pisser?

    All human behaviour is incentive driven. When dopamine hits and dollars are the bigger incentives than the integrity and honour of the pursuit you will always see a race to the bottom of human behaviours. This is just the latest example in the "hunting sphere". You see it in all aspects of...

    Canadian Forest Lockdowns?

    Well, its not always "dipshits" that start fires. Two examples: My LEH goat draw got FUBAR'd in 2018 when a logging crew at the mouth of my drainage started a fire with a chain. Almost lost three faller/bunchers, and the crew scrambled to make it back across the bridge . That fire burned...

    Canadian Forest Lockdowns?

    "A man with experience is never at the mercy of a man with an opinion." -John Bytheway Most fires that destroy private property are started on public land. And the fires of today are not the fires our families fought a generation ago.These fires generate their own weather systems. We had a...

    Canadian Forest Lockdowns?

    Unless you have a full fire kit in your truck, spend four weeks every spring preparing your property to make it as defended as possible against wildfire (including pumps/sprinklers and guards), and have actually BEEN in a real wildfire your opinion is a fart in a pair of coveralls.

    Canadian Forest Lockdowns?

    In 2003 they closed a large portion of sub-Region 8 and parts of Region 4 here in S. BC after multiple large fires started (including the fire that burned 400+ homes in a portion of Kelowna, a city of 100K people). Logging crews that were pulled out of the bush were paid to supplement law...

    Kind of tired of Bagel/B-Hole sandwiches, alternatives??

    I've made a variety of modified versions of the original "Ultralight Moose Goo" over the years. My last run that i really liked was 1 part almond butter/1 part honey/1 part good quality protein powder/handful dried saskatoons (service berries)/handful dried cranberries. Wrap it as a block in...

    Ozzy has left the chat.

    While i am saddened by the news, the thought of Ozzy re-joining Randy Rhoads, Randy Castillo and Lemmy makes me smile.

    My hunting partner had trichinosis a few years back, so he's pretty safe.

    Why is the Canadian model far less friendly to Non-Resident hunters compared to the US?

    Unlike the U.S., we do not have the equivalent of the Pittman-Robertson Act. In BC the average Revenue raised just from licence fees is approximately $11M, and it goes into General Revenue and a portion is then allocated annually during the budgeting cycle. Very seldom does the funding in...

    Can you realistically fight off a 100+lb dog or are you going to lose?

    My wife and i have spent years having large breed dogs (a lot of them rescue). Everything from a 90lb bully to a 202lb English Mastiff, with Rotties, Corsos and large breed mutts in between size wise. The two that stick out for "fight to the death" nightmares was a female Corso that was a...

    Can you realistically fight off a 100+lb dog or are you going to lose?

    There are Reserves in each Province that seem to have feral dog problems. Northern AB and ON seem to get the most attention. Nowhere near what it was like 25 years ago. Education, vet outreach and more and more dog rescues that focus on getting pregnant and whelping females out to urban areas...

    legal letter to enter Canada

    Our legal system uses different classifications, but for the "easy button" think of a DUI as being a felony in Canada. And yes, if you have a "felony" as a Canadian entering the U.S. you are turned around by the U.S. authorities. Same treatment just different things are viewed as felony charges...

    The Ageless Winchester Model 70

    I had a moment of nostalgia last week and bought a one year only (1986) European export XTR Sporter in 6.5x55 that was unfired. Lovely little rifle with fixed sights and a monte carlo cheekpiece in nice wood. Never shot an M70 that i didn't like. I have a buddy with a 1949 in 300h&h that i am...
