2017 Rokslide Spring bear hunt... Wolf down!

I've never had a problem with them getting service. It's cheaper than making sat phone calls!

That's true but every device has its own drawbacks. We like having voice conversations too. I do like the inreach, in a perfect world I'd have both!

No pics would leave where we were though on InReach. Not good coverage with no pics or vid.

I did pick some off the bushes behind. But elected to pass with all the parasites.

I used to hate wolves! But as time has gone by I realize it's not the wolf's fault and they are just doing what an apex predator does best..... KILL! I do hate the ASSHOLES that decided to introduce a non-native species into an already overstressed ecosystem. If anything this hunt has fueled my fire to kill more wolves or at least step up my game on this badass predator.

The real hero's of this hunt are not Jeff or me; it's Jim(Slim Jim) for finding the wolves and Justin for haveing the call and knowing how to use it. Shooting is the easy part. So I give them all the credit.


The funny part to me was the day before Justin, and I killed the wolf. Jim said if someone sits up on the hill they will shoot a wolf. Justin says I have a fox pro. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking no way in hell, this will work But Justin and I decided to walk up there around 9 am, and I said we will have it killed by 10 am, and that's exactly what happened. The part that is etched in my mind is when Justin says are you ready? This is after we broke branches and had a fairly long discussion about where to set up the ambush site.....and being noisy as hell. Again in the back of my mind, I think, this will never work...... Anyways back to Justin asking me if I'm ready. I say yes, and Justin tells me, Ok, If it happens it's going to be fast. I'm thinking sure it is. We just made more noise that a heard of liberals at a Trump rally........ Justin cranks up the fox pro, and no more than 30 seconds later this damn wolf pops out of the creek bottom on a full sprint 70 ish yards from us..... I about shit myself....... The wolf is not stopping, it got up on the old logging road and was headed for the thick timber above the road. In my mind, I want to wait for it to stop but hunting this thick crap my whole life I know that if it makes it to the other side of the road, I will probably never see it again. So I pull up on the shoulder and squeeze. I don't remember who said it first, but both of us whispered its down. Justin and I both could not believe what just happened. We just looked at each other and laughed. I believe there was also a man hug only legal after something epic happens. After that, it was a blur, Lots of pictures and an easy walk down the hill.

It was a great time with some of the best people on the planet!

Very cool Ryan. What do you figure they weighed? It is great to see somebody successfull on these dogs. Sounds like a great time was had by all.

I would guess mine(female) was 75 pounds and Jeff's(male) is 100 pounds.

I didn't find one tick on mine and there were a lot of ticks up there. If ticks won't eat them, I'm sure the hell not!

What about the weight of the 28 Nosler? What kind of velocity are you getting with the 195's and how long are you running them? What recipe?

The Bora is a damn nice jacket. I think I will do a review comparing it to the jetstream( my favorite soft shell)
