    Rimfire cans, what do you have?

    No clue, send a coon up to AK and I'll find out! In all seriousness, I've only shot a couple squirrels so far with this gun. A quality subsonic hollow point would probably do fine for headshots on coons at distances under 20 yds.

    Crispi Briksdal GTX 8.5 EE (wide) non-insulated very light use

    Very lightly used 2024 Crispi Griksdal GTX non-insulated boots, size 8.5 EE (wide). Selling because I went 1/2 size too short and have only used these on a couple short 4-5 mile hikes near town. I've kept them clean and they are treated with Nikwax waterproofing (Crispi approved waterproofing)...

    Rimfire cans, what do you have?

    I have a Jessie's Girl can on the way for my 10/22 with 16" barrel, but it's already incredibly quiet with subsonic ammo (Winchester Super Suppressed is my fav) and still pretty quiet with supersonic (Aguila Super Extra hollowpoint) so I'm unsure if I'll even put the can on it. The can will...

    Black Bear on POW April/May

    Good luck! Perhaps bring a fawn distress call as the timing should be right to use it, and it might be a good backup plan if bears are not out on the beaches in plain sight. Just make sure you're aware of your surroundings when you use it in case a bear comes in hot.

    Moose - Lets see em!

    I appreciate your perspective and certainly don't dispute your kills with soft tip bullets. My preference and that of my hunting companions is a bonded bullet that holds together to preserve more meat while offering more shot angles. A "screaming" bullet speed as you imply has happened to myself...

    Moose - Lets see em!

    Im going to disagree on the latter based on my experience, which is that moose and caribou aren't that difficult to kill... Unless you shoot them in a large bone (e.g. humerus) with a soft point, which then grenades and ruins lots of meat, and requires follow up shots. Corelokt and SST for...

    the hook that drug me to Alaska

    A friend in Petersburg is a great thing to have. While the deer hunting there is very pressured, there are plenty of nearby opportunities just a quick boat ride away and there's always the fishing. Plus a nice escape from Fairbanks in the cold months.

    Interested in the Lapponia IIIs you have for sale, but need a few more posts before I'm able to send you a direct message. I think you might be able to initiate a conversation with me.

    Miss fire.

    I had a similar issue with my relatively low round count (200-250) X-bolt 30-06 which would "light strike" with Barnes TTSX 165 and 180gr factory ammo. My gunsmith extended the protrusion of the firing pin by "a few thou" and that appears to have resolved the issue. My guess is that either the...

    Front strut replacement

    I've safely swapped the struts on my 2008 Taco several times without a spring compressor using this method: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/front-shock-spring-install-without-spring-compressor.311424/ I suspect this safer method would also work for a 4-runner which I believe shares the same...

    Hodgdon 2024 Annual Manual

    is there any new data in the 2025 vs 2024, especially regarding more "modern" bullets? Wondering if I should update from the 2022 manual which I occasionally use for 30-06, 300WSM, and 300 WM.

    2024 Kodiak Blacktail hunt!

    Great report, thanks for sharing. I'm heading to Kodiak late August for a goat (tag) and opportunistic deer. On the subject of boot dryers, my brother 3D printed me some fan holders from a template he found online. A slightly more "finished" solution than the wood inserts shown in this thread...

    Black Bear on POW April/May

    Most guys I know go in early May on PWS, but this spring temperatures have been higher than usual, and bears are already coming out at lower elevations in the Chugach mountains and around Anchorage. Still quite a bit of snow on islands in PWS, but my guess is that it is melted out along beaches...
