    This midwesterner is hunting alone in grizzly country

    I believe your arithmetic is a little off because they keep cubs two years. So 1000 sows (or whatever the number is) breeding every third year. But I agree the population increase has still been substantial. I agree it is.

    This midwesterner is hunting alone in grizzly country

    I like to think this will be true. I support Grizzly delisting and hunting, regardless.

    30min Deadlift Challenge

    If I do this with a trap bar, and use the high handled position, will you promise not to tell Mark Rippetoe?

    This midwesterner is hunting alone in grizzly country

    Nelson Outfitters summer and fall of '90. Base camp was on Pacific Creek, hunting camp was in the Moss Lake area of the Teton Wilderness, we packed a lot around the Two Ocean Pass area. Old Bud Nelson was quite the crotchety old timer. He guided the last legal Grizzly kill in 1975 before they...

    This midwesterner is hunting alone in grizzly country

    ‘90s. Bear density is definitely up. I’m seeing quite a bit of sign scouting in the south Absarokas north of Dubois this summer.

    This midwesterner is hunting alone in grizzly country

    Then it looks like in my pack trip guiding, dude wrangling, and packing days, when I was leading pack strings through the Two Ocean Pass and upper Yellowstone River areas, I wasn’t really camped in GRIZZLY COUNTRY, I was only camped in Grizzly country. And here’s me thinking I was. Ah well...

    This midwesterner is hunting alone in grizzly country

    Like the wilderness areas around North Buffalo Fork and Pacific Creek? I’ve not limited my hunting to south of Jackson.

    This midwesterner is hunting alone in grizzly country

    I spent the better part of the last 30 years in and around the Jackson Hole area. Of that time I’ve probably hunted about 20 seasons (missed a few for school, injuries, family, etc). In about 20 seasons, I’ve 13 elk, including two nice bulls that were last light shots and next day packouts...

    This midwesterner is hunting alone in grizzly country

    I hunt in Grizzly county. I’ve killed elk at last shooting light and walked out in the dark with bloody hands and tenderloins in my hunting pack. Then gone back the next day and packed meat. I’ve never had a bear encounter when hunting, working over the carcass, or packing out. But my...

    Black Powder Cartridge Rifle

    Nice rifle. Looks like an 1874? Pretty sure mine is an 1877.

    TRT

    Exactly. I can tell the difference physically and mentally and I don’t believe it’s a placebo effect.

    TRT

    I’ve done pellet injections and cream. Currently using the cream and I prefer that. Never done injections. An argument I sometimes see against it is that if you’re on it and have to stop using it, your T levels will be worse than ever. I don’t know if that’s the case, but I’m about to turn...

    Black Powder Cartridge Rifle

    Out of town for work this week. Try to post a pic or two this weekend.

    Black Powder Cartridge Rifle

    Funny, you are! I actually appreciate the humor, but all seriousness, there’s apparently options. Some load the case a little more, some a little less. The original military bullet was a 405, but some people load a 500. Some people grease groove and some paper patch. In addition to just...

    Black Powder Cartridge Rifle

    No BPCR experience. Just acquired a .45-70 Sharps 1877. Suggestions about where to start? Loads, bullet weights, etc. Will be used mostly for recreational shooting, but I also hope to slay a buffalo with it someday. Probably won’t compete.

    270 Success on big game.

    Steyr Mannlicher in .270 Winchester: I usually use 130 Nosler Partition for everything. The only reason I would not use .270 Winchester is if I were able to acquire the right 7x57. I have zero interest in most 7mm cartridges, much less the latest, greatest six point something or other, but...

    Another pack-out question

    I come out with the tenderloins in my hunting pack. I go back in with two pack frames and start leapfrogging loads. The above has often happened on a last shooting light kill, so coming back with the pack frames has been a next day event. That’s hunting from the trailhead and not a...

    If you remember doing this…….

    Good, but none of this rises to seeing the confusion brought about by encountering a vehicle with a manual transmission-that’s also a three on the column.
