    "Shoot the first legal bull" - a solo public land Alberta elk hunt

    Nice bulll and great story! Do you know what predator got into your meat? I recommend trying out the Hornady Match rounds for your 6.5cm, they’ve been deadly for me (just started using them this year, dropped an elk and a mule deer in BC with them.)

    Tripod head

    If you’re on a budget, checkout the smallrig ch10 head from Amazon. There’s a few posts on here about it and folks like it. I’ve used one for the past couple weeks and it’s been great.

    Smacked my Nightforce scope hard

    I was hunting and stepped over some deadfall, and the log I stepped on was super slippery so I skidded right off it, and my rifle (strapped to my backpack) took the full force of my weight right on a log. Basically the scope caught me. In the process it damaged the scope lens ring area, and...

    Snack bars, healthy eats on a hunt?

    Bobo’s oat bars all the way. Impossible to find in Canada but they’re so good I spend the extra money to order from the US

    Same grizzly responsible for two attacks

    Thought this story was pretty crazy…same grizzly bear responsible for two attacks 3 years apart. Mounties say on September 1, Alberta Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Services (FWES) received a report from the RCMP regarding an individual who was attacked by a female grizzly bear with sub-adult...

    Washing new gear

    I wash them because I’m sure they’re filthy from everyone that touched it from sewing/packing/transport, on the rack in the store, etc. But I also don’t treat my hunting clothes special apart from cold water wash and hang dry to avoid damaging/deteriorating the fabric. I personally think that...

    Rodents in vehicle at trailhead

    What truck do you have? In my Tundra there’s a known spot they get into the cab under the windshield cowl. I added some metal mesh to avoid them getting in.

    Wrist strap?

    When hiking my bow in my hand all day during elk season, I hold it so the string/cams are towards the ground, my hand is around the backside of the grip, and my thumb is resting on the arrow shelf. I find holding it like this the most comfortable, and I have a neoprene wrist strap that nicely...

    Mauled by a brown bear and shoots himself

    Crazy video. Wish we could carry handguns in Canada. I never feel very comfortable when I’m hunting in grizz country with my little bear spray canister…

    Vehicle Security Cameras

    Look into dash cams that can be set up to detect motion/vibration (typically called ‘parking mode’). You can wire them into a location in your truck that keeps power on with the keys out, and any good brand will have a low voltage cutoff where it shuts the camera off if your vehicle battery is...

    Rain Gear

    I have the Black Diamond Stormline Stretch pants and jacket, and I like them a lot. Good waterproofness and they have a little stretch to them which is nice when hiking in them.

    Hornady Match - grains vs recoil for 6.5cm

    I assume you have no concerns with hunting with this round either? I’m halfway through your podcasts with the Exo guys so still learning!

    Hornady Match - grains vs recoil for 6.5cm

    Recently starting shooting my new 6.5cm tikka with Hornady Match 6.5cm. Being fairly recoil shy, I’m wondering if the 120grain rounds would have less recoil? If so, would it be a substantial difference?

    Anyone use the PackAlarm Pro in Grizz Country

    Anyone use the packalarm pro? Sounds like it weights 8oz only. Going on an elk hunt in northern BC this year in an area with high grizzly numbers and thinking this wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring with. https://packalarm.com/

    Fishnet base layers. They work, and you want them.

    Anyone order from Varuste to Canada and get hit with extra duties or taxes on arrival?
