****OFFICIAL****2024 SPRING BEAR THREAD
I've been watching this since 1982, year in and year out (no matter snow pack level) it's May 13th until things really pop! No doubt we'll find a few between now and then but that's going to be when most all the state really gets to going and the hills come alive with bruins. (side note, there...- Mato

Stafford Ferry CE
Boy howdy you're right about impossible some of these lands are impossible to ascend, descend, cross etc. My wife had a permit in there this last fall and we often found ourselves in places impossible to negotiate! Add this CE if it goes thru (which I'm sure it will) to the one that's already...- Mato

Spring Bear Knee Replacement Motivation
How'd the bear hunt go? I've had 7 knee surgeries, including total's on both. So, I'm no stranger to rehab either... I do have about 20 years on you though.- Mato

6.5 Remington Mag
Neat rifle, that dog has to hunt again! Seems to me that Nosler still makes brass for the 350 RM, I'd get a hold of some of that and try necking it down. Should work just fine. -

Which Caliber for Elk
I'd be all over 117 Hammers in your #1/270. That gun if it's a 1B is a hefty dude (I've had one for years) so I know but the weight will soak up the bump. Load them to 2900-3K and your basically duping a Roberts which is a heck of good elk round when directed properly. My guess is that... -
First Time Waterfowl: What are the essentials?
Fair Weather---take a look see around for some stubble that's privately owned then go and introduce yourself to the farmers and see if they'll let you give it a go in their fields. If they will you're on the way. You don't need a boat or a dog or a 3 1/2 mag...just a handful of dekes. Ideally...- Mato
