Ever killed a bear with a pistol?
This was years ago. Wasn't my pistol or ammo. So I am not sure. I do know it was +p. When we skinned the bear they were not in very far. I am guessing HP.- Nuts

Ever killed a bear with a pistol?
Shot a wounded bear with a 45. Don't recommend. Caught shoulder and barely penetrated with a couple. Finally missed muscle and bone. Straight lung. And dead- Nuts

Haul Rd Hunters Turo joins Uhaul
Those roads can be great and all of a sudden not. Especially at the bottom of hills. Problem is guys get comfortable and start driving fast. Hit frost rifts and lose it. I dont worry to much about those roads but the amount of accidents suggest caution be taken. As far as boredom. You must...- Nuts

Haul Rd Hunters Turo joins Uhaul
100% I posted this exact thing. When did Caribou become a premier hunt worth that money. On the other hand there is still a few decent accessible hunts that dont require bush flights and are not the haul rd or draw. But nobody is going to tell you where. Gotta research it.- Nuts

Haul Rd Hunters Turo joins Uhaul
Depends who you get it from when. I paid $2500. Total due up front. Thats for 2 weeks+. But yeah the closer it gets the higher it gets. And if you dont pay 100% upfront and choose to pay 100% at the counter like through expedia those reservations get lost. Mostly because you agreed to $2500...- Nuts

It is. But I am guessing Turo provides insurance which is likely how they are saying no. My insurance won't cover my truck if I rent it out. But Turo would.- Nuts

It is being reported that Turo has now prohibited the Haul rd. This after UHaul announced they will enforce their existing policy against Haul rd use. Choices are getting limited.- Nuts

Walking the Alaskan Tundra
Correct. Some tundra is worse then others. One of my buddies this fall has hunted New Foundland quite a bit. He has convinced himself that New Foundland tundra has prepared him for Alaskan tundra. And nothing can convince him other wise. Guess he will learn when we pack in -

So every once in a while you pick up a better then expected property. This property is 550 acres. Good size in PA. It was set up very well when we walked it for the 1st time. Ladder stands at the right places. Which leads you to wonder. What am I missing. Why did someone give it up...- Nuts

I found the out for this. Married 30 years. She finds the humor in it when I outsmart her most times.
