In my opinion any good elk bullet from a .300 win. will suffice. I sometimes hunt elk with a muzzleloader and have never considered changing bullets in case of bears. I have spent some time thinking about the lack of a follow up shot however.
This is north of Yellowstone so there are plenty of...
Statistically, it is not uncommon for the human male to overestimate measurements in the 4 to 6 inch range by as much as 50 percent. They try to pass this shortcoming on to others with limited success. Women sometimes fall for it, but other males of the species are quick to spot the...
I am not talking about a fight with a ref.
A good fight doesn't end after 1 minute because your knuckles are sore.
A good fight lasts a while and both parties generally think that they won and even if there is a clear winner they probably aren't interested in doing it again.
Just my opinion...
That head just isn't saying black bear to me but be my guest if someone wants to shoot it. I guess I don't want to kill a bear bad enough to pull the trigger on that one.
I have lived without electricity for a month or 2 at a time and the thing most missed was refrigeration. No freezer over the long term changes your life.
I like the old boxes and just brought a couple home from AK today. One is same as yours but 300 H&H. One is different and also 300 H&H. Both say $6 on the back. I will try to figure out what years they were used.
I can't think of a reason to switch if you like your Kenetrek boots. Buy a new pair on sale and spend your time experimenting with something else other than boots.
This from a guy who did what you are suggesting and am back wearing Kenetrek.
It kind of sucks when you are running late and the flight attendant doesn't offer to let you off first. I can understand people moving forward quickly when faced with missing a connection and spending the night in some city.
I have missed flights by 1 or 2 minutes after waiting 10 minutes or...
No matter how fast you board the plane you can still sit on the taxiway for 20 minutes or more waiting in line to takeoff.
I have 1 more trip home (3 flights) and if I never get on a jet again in my life I will consider myself lucky.
The whole process is a circus.
I cut 6 to 8 cords a year of lodgepole and fir mixed. I use a snatchblock and a synthetic winch line on the majority of it these days.
I enjoy doing it solo and like hunting I don't consider it work.
