    Do you carry a pistol for bear when elk hunting???

    I don't when moose hunting. I once did but was distracted by it often. I read a story in FFG from a bear biologists in Wyoming or Montana. He had this philosophy. If you only wound a charging grizzly or even fatally would it. It's momentum will not stop. And if it's not a fatal shot that kills...

    Having a good dog

    Thanks folks. Ruby is the star here. It's amazing how fast she picks up things, she wants to do anyhows. I just hang out with her a bit every day. But it's almost like we can talk, she looks into my eyes. If you haven't been around chessapeaks, they are more similar to a black bear cub...

    Alone Season 10

    I wore out the soft material between the vertebrae. Nothing connected them. Got it fused a few years ago in front but it didn't work so had the back fused too. Now my beautiful wife won't let me go out to the cabin by myself until healed up without going with someone else. Need to find someone...

    Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

    No crotch in this tree. Straight trunk for 30 feet. Yes I have a sawer friend that is a pro. Biggest problem may be getting it freighted out as I would want 10' sections. Any guess about how much birch weights per sq/ft ? Thanks folks

    Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

    So this is the first time I saw something about woodworking. I owned n worked every day of the week building custom furniture and cabinetry shop. Would tell my customers to try to think of things that they would not believe can be done. And always had a theme that fits the needs. All self taught...

Had to have the whole shoulder replaced a couple years ago. And just got my neck fused, again. In the back this...

    What Does Hunt “Quality” and “Opportunity” Mean?

    I'm glad that they are somewhat the same for me. Every opportunity to get out is quality time in my mind. And the opportunity to have an equal chance as anyone to harvest game. It's all quality time and harvesting is like icing on a cake. Equal quality and opportunity should be our...

    There's Something About a Nice Knife

    For me I know when I pick it up. I have worn out hands and grip is a priority. Being able to index it into my hand without trying. And no slipping. Being able to sharpen it. Some blades just seem too hard. And then they get dangerous dull. Primary purpose is preparing harvested game, moose...

    Hey, Hey, BooBoo!

    Yeppers real nice to get back out in the bush. But I suspect that the bears went nocturnal. They see plenty of boats. And can get smart fast, while the younger bears haven't learned as much about caution. And they can smell, good. I believe that walking in areas where bear can be hunted can...
