Recently hunted in South Africa. Anyone want a recap?
They are the most beautiful of all the game in Africa. I had the crosshairs on one but I knew the trophy fee and I was well over budget already. Great writing Lopehunter, thanks for sharing.- Salmonchaser

Recently hunted in South Africa. Anyone want a recap?
I was putting pencil to paper just last night, figuring how much my second trip will cost. Trophy fees are about the same as two years ago, day rate is the same as two years ago. After reading your story I’m going back! Great report, thankyou.- Salmonchaser

A Proper Sheep Rifle
I’ve only killed one, very boring. 06/150 partitions 200 yards. Dad loved sheep hunting, used a 264wm mdl 70 he bought in 59 or 60 when we were in Fairbanks. I think a pre 64 mdl 70 in 270 is pretty much a perfect setup- Salmonchaser

Small towns supporting high school sports
Our highschool will have a graduating class of about 25 kids. Doesn’t matter if it’s girls volleyball or boys football, stands are full. Seems to be increasingly rare to find small schools like this. Highly recommended dropping by and watching a game if you’re hunting in an area that has small...- Salmonchaser

Relocation For High Three Retirement
Anchorage is tough, winter is long. Winter is dreary but not as bad in Seattle. Not sure it's worth the heartache myself. Nice thing about Seattle you can drive over to the dry side for the weekend kind of thing, lots of flights to Tucson or phoenix as well to dry out.- Salmonchaser

School me on OR blacktail
Scott Haugen wrote quite a bit about hunting blacktails, great source of information. I would guess his books are still in print. Worth buying for sure. He is more of a Jack O'Conner style of writer than most of the current crop. You'll learn quite a bit I imagine.- Salmonchaser

God's Bull
I wondered how you were doing with the weather. I was in Colorado but had family across the road from you. I think that was a great bull to take in there. Well done.- Salmonchaser

Bullet Failure?
Glad you were able to recover the moose, actually kind of surprised given the lack of expansion you didn’t have a tough tracking job. While most of our data sets are actually quite small the anecdotal evidence gives me pause with Bergers; Matchkings; any bullet where people say “keep it off the...- Salmonchaser

West coast salmon recovery
Not only is there quite a bit of good habitat in the Northwest but consider Alaska where most of the salmon streams have very little disturbance on them. The adults can’t spawn in rarified beautiful habitat if they can’t get by the nets.- Salmonchaser

West coast salmon recovery
Certainly habitat degradation impacts fish. One of the first areas addressed, building full bench roads instead of side casting, stream buffers, not logging thru streams that kind of thing. I would guess the almost non existent timber harvest of National Forest ground has had a greater impact...- Salmonchaser
