School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country
For what it’s worth, I have lived and hunted my entire life in grizzly country. We had them all summer when we lived near West Yellowstone. For the most part, they are solitary animals, until they aren’t. You can ask any survivor of a bear mauling and they will tell you their perspective is...- shrapnel

Where is Yogi hiding and why isnt he standing at the entrance greeting all visiters?
I have traveled and worked in Yellowstone my whole life. Once you get past the gate into Yellowstone, you will not be surprised at anything a tourist will do. Why they think they are the only people there and the Park was made for them, has amazed me my entire life.- shrapnel

Buying binos sucks
I’ve killed everything you can in Montana with old rifles and cartridges. I didn’t need Swarovski optics to find or shoot them. This is about good optics or better optics. If you can’t tell the difference between top tier glass and bargain glass, don’t waste your money. -

Buying binos sucks
The optic continuum, what to buy. It has been mentioned and is still sound advice, the best money spent is used Alpha glass. “Almost as good as” never is and comes up short every time. Swarovski makes exceptional hunting optics and I have never been sorry to get them. There is a reason that so... -

I found a book by Jack O’Connor that mentions Bob Johnson in it to add to the credibility of the maker. Bob is mentioned on page 132…- shrapnel

Gettysburg
Too little of today’s interchanges are positive and meaningful. It was something I wanted to see and do, it was also well received without the criticism that seems to invade social media these days. Hopefully some new insight might be enjoyed by the members of HuntTalk. I appreciate the...- shrapnel

Gettysburg
Ending up in DC and a picture of the Lincoln Memorial. I had some expectations of learning and seeing some American history, but nothing of this magnitude. From the beginning, I was impressed with the beauty of this part of America. The drive around Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, was...- shrapnel

Colonial Williamsburg shows just how much the Brits are a bunch of losers. The Governor in 1774 had his house full of guns and swords and now they don’t want anyone to have them..- shrapnel

Gettysburg
Actually, much happened at Appomattox that was because of Custer. He captured around 50 of Lee’s artillery and pressed him on ending the war. For several days, Lee and Grant were corresponding about the upcoming outcome. A white flag of truce was offered to Custer as the Confederate army was...- shrapnel
