    For $750 of course-that's a dakota action and bedded action and barrel.

    Huge gear issue for backpacking bear hunt

    The one with a box you can burn it and not bring two more crushed cans home but I would bring along a 1/2 pint/flask with some crown black. Unbeatable and unbreakable. Have fun. Or maybe 2.

    Broadheads

    I have had good exprience with Muzzies, Montecs, Shuttle T's, Wac'ems, and Steel Force 2 blade w/bleeder. But the Shuttle T's have flown the best-I remember 6 blade broadheads or bigger (8) from no manufacturer to be named that were an awful mess. And I have no experience with expandables as...

    Sleeping Bag Thoughts

    This is going to sound weird but I have a Big Agnes Long-as I am 6'4" that I stuff an old down mummy bag from the 70's of a brand I have no idea. They fit in the Agnes stuff sack with the down sack zipped inside the Big Agnes. It's underneath me or if really cold zip up in it kind of like...

    If you had to choose just one caliber???

    There are a lot of great all around calibers but when you come down to the parameters of factory ammo it has to be the 30-06 you can walk in any hardware store in the middle of nowhere and find a box of 30-06. The next I would agree with the 12 gauge, It would be cool if someone made an...

    Tents

    I have a Yakima Tent and Awning 14x16 for almost 20 years with no issues. Built my frame using kwik kamp angles and top rail. Bought Kwik Kamp wood stove and have been happy ever since everything cost less $1000 at that time. Davis has great value-Kwik Kamp has packages and good canvas. The...

    Non Lethal Bear Encounters (pics)

    Those are some really awesome pictures and great clarity. The only bear pics I have are crappy film cheapo camera from 20 years ago. But it was an interesting story-we came back from hunting late several hours after dark close to 11pm early archery season in Oregon. Our camp was completely...

    Best Binocs for under $500

    Looking to upgrade my binoculars this summer prior to hunting season as it has been 20 years and one one of the oculars is loose. I don't want to spend $1,000 or more and would like some good recommendations I do not hunt glued to a tripod but would like something that has good glass and eye...

    Whitetail, east vs. west

    Blue tongue in our area wipes out a lot of whitetail deer prior to maturity.

    Public land nemesis

    Wow that's a stud of a buck. I don't have any words of wisdom but am hoping that someday you get to post him up on lti-good luck I am not a firm believer on patterning anything in this part of the country I have seen a buck in one particular area multiple times and then never saw him again...

    Whitetail, east vs. west

    Back to your original post no I don't think that Western Whitetails grow more points that Eastern. I have a buddy that hunts whitetails in Oregon on some great private land in the foothills of the Blues where you will literally see hundreds of deer in a weekend and finding a buck that is...

    Single Shot Shotguns

    I forgot about Ithaca and the hammerless models that would be about perfect to pack. Had a buddy in grade school with a H&R we used to hunt prior to going to school around his 40acres but we had to carry a bare shaft arrow-(the vanes were a great grip) to knock out the shell. What a different...

    Possible wildlife issue that may turn into a marriage issue

    It sounds like your wife is a cat not a dog making for a great woman and partner as she is independent and strong=willed. I agree that feral cats should not just be neutered or spayed and returned to the natural or same environment-not because they hunt and kill birds and other critters-but...
