    People Are Insane

    PA Bears-How big is this?

    I am not a bear guy. I have killed a couple but was alway terrible at judging size. I am getting them on camera almost daily. If I had to guess I would say we have one in the 300lb range and another that is probably 100lbs. Anyone good at it

    Packable Spinning Rod/Fly Fishing tips

    Weird title I know. On my upcoming trip I will have the opportunity to fly fish some deeper water then I am used to. I am comfortable in typical water 1'-6' with about anything I want to throw. 10'-20' I have never done. I am considering taking a spinning rod because the middle of nowhere...

    Start them young. Adjust the narrative

    So my granddaughter was on vacation with my son-n-laws non hunting family. (My daughter and son n law hunt) They took her somewhere that allowed her to pet and feed deer.

    Starting this now since you don't just show up. The fun part is later. Now is the work. Saturday starts the full load out hiking. Final pack weight just shy of 45lbs. Not quite where I wanted to be. After a couple weeks of hiking I may see what I can do without and if anything moves from...

    Choosing the right gun for the hunt

    With Alaska in 2 months I have been mulling over what gun to take. The Ruger Alaskan in 338 win mag has been the staple. Not a great deal of fun to shoot but I shoot it well. And other then ash marks it has been indestructible. Since this is primarily a Caribou hunt and not moose I bought a...

    Trip wires for bear

    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...

    Hearing Aid Use

    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...

    Alaskan Quest-Kent Kaiser

    Has anyone ever had them set a trip up for them? What was your take? At first glance it appears like a decent option. Appears similar to 60". I am confused about what he does. It doesn't appear he still owns it. But he is talking a big game offering trips to guys with himself or to set...

    I have a 6.5 CM I want to shoot longer range with it say 800-900 yds. But be able to hand to a kid and have them use it just fine at shorter ranges. Here is my thoughts and the parameters I have in my head: max min to be 5x at least 16x min max? Not a "busy" scope reticle wise because a kid...
