    Fall Prince of Wales

    Oh, and the meat will reek of rotten fish in the fall. If you want to try to salvage it you will need to remove the outer layer of fat completely. That is where the bad smell/flavor lies. We cut it off of our bears and some tasted OK and some didn't.

    Fall Prince of Wales

    I'll see if I can find my pics. A couple of things to consider. Bring fishing gear and a crab or shrimp trap. If you are into waterfowling you can get into ducks and geese pretty easily and seasons can be had during bear season. I wouldn't use a bow. It could surely be done but I wouldn't...

    Fall Prince of Wales

    Pretty much any good sized sound on POW will have multiple streams flowing to the ocean. At least some of those streams will have salmon in them. Or as Wllm1313 stated there are resources out there that will show which streams should have salmon on them and approximately when the run will...

    Fall Prince of Wales

    It's a lot of fun. I've never hunted the roads. In the fall the bears will be on the streams eating salmon. Start at the ocean, put on your waders, sneak up salmon streams until you find a bear you like. you'll see some on shore too and can put a stalk on them. You can tell if there are...

    feral cat

    If it stays on the owner's property maybe they can tell the difference. If it comes around my farm I don't discriminate. My dog doesn't piss on your hostas, your cat shouldn't crap in my sandbox.

    OP, google "Remington rust problems" and look at all of the listings.

    Learning to Handle Recoil

    You've been given some good advice here and I'll throw in my $.02. Savage, for the most part, makes great rifles. They are simple and accurate...and cheap. My biggest gripe with Savage (and I have several of their bolt action rifles in various calibers) is that they kick worse than any other...

    Another poacher

    gets off damned near scot free. https://www.parkrecord.com/news/out-of-state-hunter-ordered-to-pay-1500-for-illegally-killing-two-elk-in-summit-county/ As a non-resident his fine was less than the cost of 2 either sex tags in most states.

    Muzzy vs. First Rifle

    I've done both a couple of times. I've always filled my rifle tags, I've never filled a ML tag.

    Cabelas and Bass pro shop merger always did stink.

    Why do we need more laws? Do we really need to complicate the idea of "Thou shalt not steal"?

    Leather chopper mitts

    Cool stuff OP. Anyone who is thinking of doing this. Keep an eye out at yard sales and thrift stores for old, damaged, fur coats. Many times there is perfectly good fur in a damaged coat. Throw out the damaged stuff and use the good stuff in your projects.

    Tough Deer Season in Midwest

    The season has been horrible for most of the people I know in Illinois. I saw no deer at all this weekend. I talked to others who were seeing few, if any deer. I checked my cameras and the deer that were coming around on regular patterns shifted after first season. I have very few deer on...

    Sabots vs. Full-Bore Conicals

    Generally, sabots are going to be lighter and shoot flatter, they might have less felt recoil. The downside is that they rely more on expansion during terminal ballistics since they have a smaller diameter and less weight. It is really hard to argue with the hole that a 1/2"+ diameter chunk...

    Shortest recovery distance EVER.

    My daughter's first deer, a doe, dropped in its tracks. It was in a field on the back of my place and I was able to pull the truck right up to it. I've had a few deer drop in there tracks.

    Illinois 1st season firearm

    I talked to the game warden and biologist. Both said they had some cases in Illinois. I found a 140" 8pt on my first trip out this year. I also had a larger buck on camera that disappeared around Aug/Sept. Found a dead doe as well. A friend who hunts about 20 miles from me found six...

    Illinois 1st season firearm

    Saw a bunch of doe, no bucks and very few shots heard. Did anyone else have EHD go through the herd this year?

    Heel Blister Help

    I have bony feet and blister easily. I bought some nice Irish Setter boots many years ago and had the same experience as you. The boots were stiff in the heel and work great on flatter ground but climbing hills and mountains they gave blisters, just like all of the other boots I've ever owned...
