I used to help my father cut and split firewood for our house growing up and I also continued after I turned 18 and moved out. I just really enjoy doing it. I still help two friends who use firewood. I just love going and working hard. Splitting wood is part of the therapy for me.
I think it's really hard to get a very close estimate based just on looking at the jaws and the teeth. In 2019 I shot a really nice boar grizzly bear in Alaska. The guide and my outfitter both estimated that my bear was 8 1/2 years old. When I got the age record from the lab after they...
I love the Cooper Tires. I used that AT3's for a while and then switched to the ST MAXX. They both served me very well. Currently I am running the Cooper Stronghold on my F150 and love them. They seem to be an excellent tire. They went through my first winter with them in 2025-2026 and...
Behring Made Knives located here in Missoula make some really good stuff, and they are good people. Kinda like that ND Guy

I haven't listened to it yet. I am curious if you asked him Big Fin what he thinks about the delisting of the grizzly bear and the responsibility for management being returned to the states?
Essentially if I am correct, but the 6.8 Western is essentially the 270 WSM with a longer chamber throat and faster rifling to handle longer heavier bullets. The 270 WSM is an excellent cartridge and I think you will be pleased with the 6.8 Western. Lets see some of your loads how they shoot...
I had a Masterbuilt vertical electric smoker and liked it pretty well. Couple things that were not so good was that periodically you have to add wood chips when they burn down slowly. Not a huge deal. I had the heating element go out and replaced it twice. I did use it a lot but it went...

My pick would be this. I really like the Springfield Armory pistols. Not a 1911 but a great pistol. Or this below!
H4350 and IMR4350 are both excellent in the 30-06. 165 gr. Partitions and Accubonds shoot great using IMR4350 in my particular rifle. I have not tried to work up a load with H4350 yet but I should as it's a great one too. 56-58 grs. seems to be a sweet spot with that weight bullet. My...
B&C is a great group that was the very first conservation orginization and they are as Big Fin stated are way more than a trophy keeping group. Well worth it to join them in their quest to keep wildlife on our landscape in healthy numbers, and yet they are even more than just that.
