    Scope for Marlin 1895 SBL

    To keep the Ghost Ring, you’ll need a scout scope as you mentioned. Limited options out there, the Leupold is probably a good choice. Burris makes a 2-7 but I’m not sure that much magnification is really needed for a 45-70. If you want to use a normal eye relief scope, you’ll have to run high...

    Fragments in Meat?

    I’ve found all kinds of bullets in game while quartering in the field or processing at home. I have never found bullets or fragments in my meat when I have consumed it.

    Propane heater

    We used one in Alaska on our North Slope caribou hunt, it worked well considering no other options for heat. We just used one in a tipi on a base camp hunt, as well as wood stoves in the other tipis. The buddy heaters are easy and provide quick heat, but it is a very moist heat, almost like a...

    Wilderness Bull Adventure

    Always an adventure when you’re in western Wyoming. Thanks for sharing your story. I have been fortunate enough to hunt that general area as well and it is a very special place.

    Grizzly ammo recommendations

    I run solid copper bullets in my 10mm. The hardcast lead shot well but I didn’t care for the puff of atomized lead smoke from the uncoated bullets. We’ve had a lot of bear encounters at night and I didn’t want to risk not being able to shine a light through it.

    Hunting multiple animals at once

    It can be done in certain areas, but not all. We have an area in one state that the deer and antelope overlap to some degree, though the best spots for each are separate. There are also elk. We have killed elk, deer, and antelope within a 5 mile radius. Since you’ve done no western hunts...

    Should I worry about grizzlies?

    I have yet to hunt NW Wyoming in the fall and not have a grizzly encounter. Just be smart - keep a clean camp, be careful when in areas of thick brush or near water, keep your bear spray and/or sidearm on you at all times.

    Water

    Started using a Platypus GravityWorks system about 13 years ago. It’s a great way to go when you’re setting up anywhere near a water source. Not the most efficient to pack along daily. Much more efficient than a pump filter. Started using a rechargeable Steripen in 2019 or so, I now use it for...

    How to keep arrows from falling out of quiver ?

    I do the same but without the spring keeper. Just a simple piece of 550 cord for packing in/out when I know I won’t be carrying the bow in my hand. Bow stays in my hand 99% of the time while I’m actively hunting.

    Solar Panel Viability for Alaska Moose Hunt in Sept.?

    I had great success with the 28W Big Blue on my late August caribou hunt on the north slope. I was only using it to charge my phone, inReach, and 20,000 mAH power bank. I was able to charge my phone in less than two hours when getting full sunlight. We spent a lot of time glassing from base...

    Sitka Ascent Pants Review, By Mike Moore

    I’ll be surprised if Sitka doesn’t find a way to make the new version worse, as they have with other products in their lineup in the last few years. All the Ascent pants needed were some hip vents and they’d be the ultimate early season pant. Hopefully mine last me another 5 or so years.

    7+ R-Value, Sub-30oz, Rectangular Sleeping Pads

    https://klymit.com/collections/sleeping-pads/products/insulated-static-v-luxe-sleeping-pad I use this for all seasons, it is rated at 6.5 and weighs about 32 oz. I am a side sleeper and move a lot. Keeps me from ending up on the ground a lot. It has worked well for me down into the low teens...

    New Sitka pants for 2025?

    I’ve pretty much given up on Sitka pants at this point. I have them all and the only ones I really like are the Ascent for warm weather pursuits. Every year their revisions seem to get rid of the best features/fabrics and omit the big things - hip vents, nylon fabrics, etc. Kuiu and Stone...

    Is Kifaru moving manufacturing overseas?

    That’s the biggest thing that seems to be missing at Kifaru now. There was definitely a bit of “cult of personality” at times by the internet with Snyder running the show, but he sure as shit squashed bogus rumors quickly. It’ll be interesting to see if those who remain at Kifaru will be able...

    Kifaru Bugle Tube Holder

    I have one but don’t want to run it in my belt. I like my Nalgene bottle on the left side and my small belt pouch and Glock 20 on the right side. I like to stuff my bugle tube vertically on my pack behind my head. Generally I’m using my Stryker for archery elk and my bugle tube actually fits...

    Oil lease roads

    I work in the oil and gas industry. Generally, when we build a road to access a well site, compressor station, etc. they are not publicly accessible aside from private landowners who are granted permission/access. In Wyoming, the only roads you can trust to gain access to are those on the maps...

    7mm-08 120 gr Ballistic Tip on Elk?

    Wrong. The 120 grain BT has a much heavier jacket than most BT’s, it performs very well. I’d use it on elk with no concerns. OP - look up Steve Tim. Old gun writer that used the 120 a lot. Killed a bunch of elk with it, usually out of a 280 AI.

    MD squirrel hunt on Black Friday

    Tagging for the future. I’m a little north of Cumberland but not afraid to take a drive for a good hunt.
