    Sako 90 series and Kimber 84 M/L

    Greetings all. The new Sako 90 series has caught my eye - but I have yet to have the opportunity to see one "in the flesh". Hoping to rectify that in the near future. In the meantime was wondering if any Kimber owners out there had any feedback around the operation, ergonomics, etc. compared...

    The classic magnums - will they see a renaissance?

    I'm recovering from surgery and thus spending a lot more time browsing the information superhighway to keep sane. It's interesting to see how many 7mm Rem Mag and 300 Win Mag rifles are on the used market. Some combination of the aging hunters for whom those cartridges were the "go to" and...

    Chasing Elk - Opinions Sought

    I'm a Canadian (Ontario) high school teacher planning to head to the western archery elk woods in Fall 2027. Why 2027? I'll be taking a semester off from work (only way long hunting trips are viable) so conceivably have the entire month of September to hunt. I'll be driving my F-150 out so...

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - 2024 edition

    Back again for my annual big woods deer hunting recap from north of the border - this is the 2024 edition. I hunt on large tracts of public land in Eastern/Central Ontario. This is classic big woods country - thick lowland conifers, plentiful swamps/creeks, mixed hardwood ridges, rough terrain...

    Gun safe dehumidifier question

    I’ve been using a simple Stack On portable dehumidifier in my gun safe for several years. When charging it yesterday I noticed this yellow residue along the unit. Any idea what it might be or if it means it is time for replacement? Thanks in advance.

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - 2023 edition

    Folks have enjoyed my annual big woods deer hunting recaps in the past so this is the 2023 edition. I hunt on large tracts of public land in Eastern/Central Ontario. This is classic big woods country - thick lowland conifers, plentiful swamps/creeks, mixed hardwood ridges, rough terrain - and...

    Non-Resident Hunting: A Canadian Perspective

    With the ongoing discussion around non-resident hunting and the multitude of recent and proposed changes in the American West, I wanted to provide a perspective that may not frequently be seen or heard - the Canadian one. The hunting opportunities in Canada are the stuff of legend - the biggest...

    Big Woods Bruisers 2022 version

    As I've posted before, my primary hunting each year is the pursuit of mature whitetail bucks in the big woods of Ontario. Folks have enjoyed me relaying my tales from the north before so I thought I would share my efforts from Fall 2022. This is classic big woods country - rugged terrain...

    The "classics"

    With winter setting in (close to -30 Celsius here last night), time for hunting campfire discussions ... I'm curious what would make a "Top Five Classic Cartridges" list - emphasis on longevity/history/North American big game. 1) 257 Roberts - plenty of history here 2) 270 Winchester -...

    Big Woods Bruisers 2021 Version

    Last year I shared some of my tales and trail cam photos from the big woods of Eastern Ontario and folks enjoyed it. Given that here's the 2021 version of my whitetail season. Spoiler alert - I ate tag soup again, partially because I was trying to be selective in a low percentage environment...

    Backcountry deer lever - BLR vs Marlin

    Good evening all. I'd like to hear some opinions/experience/feedback around preferred backcountry lever deer rifle between the Browning BLR and Marlin 336. I would primarily be hunting the big woods of Ontario, Adirondacks, etc. Some of those hunts would feature overnight backcountry stays...

    Classic hunting rifles - American vs European

    Recently I've thought I might want to start a small collection of vintage classic hunting rifles. They wouldn't be "safe queens" as I would intend to shoot/hunt with them on occasion. I have (and am very familiar with) several modern hunting rifles, but I'm a history buff of sorts and can...

    Long term application strategy

    Hello all. I'm a high school teacher in Ontario, Canada. While we're blessed with some tremendous hunting in Canada, traveling to another province/territory (especially the western ones like Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, and NWT) to hunt is very difficult. Essentially, you need to either...

    Big Woods Bruisers

    As I've mentioned here before, my big game hunting revolves around hunting whitetail deer in the big woods of Eastern Ontario - it's a passion and there's nothing better than a cold November morning in the big woods with the first rays of the sun illuminating the horizon. In Eastern Ontario we...

    Kimber Montana vs Husqvarna

    Need to crowd source some opinions here. Unfortunately, due to inflexible work commitments and short local rifle seasons I spend much more time archery and muzzleloader hunting than rifle hunting. I have two Kimber Montanas - a 257 Roberts and a 280 Remington. They are great rifles, but...

    Ontario bull moose hunt 2019

    In addition to my British Columbia mountain goat hunt in August 2019, the hunting deities smiled on me with the drawing of a rare Eastern Ontario bull moose tag (any weapon). In Ontario moose have been managed strangely (although the system is completely changing in 2021). In a nutshell...

    British Columbia mountain goat - a dream come true

    One of my lifelong dreams has been to hunt the mountains of Canada's west. I've had the good fortune of whitewater kayaking, canoe tripping, rock climbing/mountaineering, and skiing across the western Canadian mountains in British Columbia, Alberta, and the Yukon. However, the requirement to...

    Another Canadian ...

    Hello all. I'm in Ontario (near Canada's capital Ottawa). The bulk of my hunting time is spent after wild turkey in the spring and whitetail in the fall. Our deer hunting here is classic "big woods" - huge tracts of unbroken forest, hardwood ridges, lowland swamps, etc. I was very fortunate...

    Elk Hunting conundrum

    Looking to tap into the collective knowledge here again. I posted two weeks ago about the initial research I was doing for a non-resident elk hunt in the fall of 2021. Unfortunately, financial circumstances have meant that I've had to cancel that semester long leave from work (high school...
