My Quest for Caribou
Buffy...some great 'bous and a dandy ox too. You should go on one more hunt to Newfoundland for a Woodland and have your "Grand Slam" of 5 species as recognized by B&C. You have 4 nice now! And I like your methodology of getting the first crack if you are the oldest!- Blockcaver

Caribou outfitter recommendations?
I'd consider an outfitter in the Mackenzie Mts of the NWT versus BC as caribou numbers are much higher there. That said, Dustin is a good guy and has a good track record as a guide that is for sure...not up to speed on his outfitting area that he has had a few seasons.- Blockcaver

Caribou outfitter recommendations?
Our Mt Caribou numbers are not great in BC right now. And we have a "6-point" antler point restriction where one antler has to have 6 points minimum including the back-tine and the top points (no back tine...then 6 or more points up top to be legal). My experience is many herd bulls here...- Blockcaver

Lion, Leopard, Grizzly, Polar Bear
I've hunted Mt Grizzlies (BC, 66 days over a 5 year period), Polar bear (Nunavut) and brown bear (Alaska) successfully with my bow. They all were great adventures and a bit hair raising...i.e. the grizzly shot was 13 yards and he ran past at 2 yards as he "escaped". Then the sow had to be...- Blockcaver

Guided Hunts--when would or have you done them?
I've been lucky to live and bowhunt in CO and BC as a resident and plus take a bunch of DIY trips when I drew a tag or bought an OTC license in various states and provinces (+20 species). That said, some of the critters I've had on the bucket list were Alaskan Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Grizzly...- Blockcaver

DIY Sheep Hunt
For hunting purposes I became eligible for a BC resident license after living and working in BC for one year. Canadian citizenship (dual) took around 6 years.- Blockcaver

DIY Sheep Hunt
I've been fortunate enough to live in sheep country my entire adult life. Got lucky and drew 6 CO resident archery ram tags and arrowed a couple in the 35 years I lived there. Some of the tags were second choice back in the 1980s. Even more fortunate was getting a non-resident NV desert tag...- Blockcaver

What is the 1 rifle you regretted buying or wished you never had bought?
Remington 700 .204 R that shot very poorly. After a new PacNor barrel in .204 R, Gretan firing pin and spring, BDL bottom metal and a B&C stock it shoots great....just like the used Cooper .204 R I bought for less $$$!- Blockcaver

What's Your Lucky Hunting Item
My lucky "item" is persistence. For a bowhunter helps increase your odds like spending time in the field. Someone once said "the harder I hunt the luckier I get".- Blockcaver

Decent travel case for archery
I use a Cabelas Ripcord XL rolling duffle. Cost $159 last year and has survived many flights in Canada since. It is oversize so I end up paying a small fee ($26-$29 C a few times) for it. I've had no trouble with the airlines as long as I keep it under 50#s. I can put two bows in my Prime...- Blockcaver
