Never thought it needed more if used responsibly woth in its limits. I was a hater. Then one day at the range I shot a buddies. It was a joy to shoot. Repeatedly. I then sat with a buddy. He shot a buck with it. Handed me the gun and a couple hours later I shot one as well. At 250yds. Bang...
One of the deciding factors in why I went trip wire is from what I found when researching electric fences. We will be on foot backpack hunting. So it needs to be light weight. And small enough that it also works for a day pack. If there is electric fence kits that are as light weight and...
I have been investigating using trip wires with alarms to place around meat or late day kills in AK for bear protection. Knowing from a distance something is messing with things would be helpful besides scaring them off. I am not a fan of the 209 primer or 12gauge ones unless its in front of...
We all have our own rafts. We divy some stuff up. First aid kits, shade tarp, boot dryer get split up. I prefer lighter over comfort. No sleeping pad for me. I can lay on a rock and sleep. Minimal clothes. Minimal food. I count on catching fish , shoot ptarmigin, or ducks for a meal a...
Caribou and moose. Start out early September. Our weight does include pack rafts. They are 5-6 lbs. We would not be packing out a moose. We would use the small pack rafts to float a smaller tributary to a river where a local would meet us in his jet raft to take us out.
100% it does. I have pack hunted with him before. Not a big guy. Watched him turn into a turtle when a pack pulled him over backwards. Helped him up and off he went. If your gonna be dumb you better be strong. In this case he knows he needs to drop weight.
What's your ideal pack weight going in on a pack trip ? If you want to go further break it down. I will at some point. I have some options as far as what I choose to put in that I own. 1 member of our party is at 26lbs with no food. Another is at 46lbs with no food. The 46lb guy is working...
I dont know zone but my 2 uncles had 20+ points built on a very limited draw hunt. They finally got drawn. They discovered when they arrived to hunt that there limited draw had been 20x. No longer a limited draw. Disappointed to say the least.
Well making light is all I got left at this point. Lol. Sounds like there is no good fix. I do get off participating in some stupid conversations by acting like I dont hear. So I do have that going for me.
So I searched threads and didn't find exactly anything that answers this. I do not where hearing aids. I went and got tested and they told me a hearing aid wont help since its inner ear. But I am pretty sick of not hearing. If there is any ambient noise I am done. Family at a restaurant...
This was years ago. Wasn't my pistol or ammo. So I am not sure. I do know it was +p. When we skinned the bear they were not in very far. I am guessing HP.
Shot a wounded bear with a 45. Don't recommend. Caught shoulder and barely penetrated with a couple. Finally missed muscle and bone. Straight lung. And dead
