John As you and others here are aware, some here on the forum would prefer that I did not participate on the forum. And one of their loudest complaints is our right to subsistence hunt. It is true that under certain conditions we are able to hunt some animals even with out a license. But...

When staring down a charging brown bear nothing really feels like enough! I remember my 375 RUM running 270gr TSX @ 2950fps feeling “puny” when looking thru the peep on a charging bear. It’s half the reason I build the 458 LOTT. I agree with TheBear78 wholeheartedly 1100 Remington man...

As Requested I spend a lot of time in bear country and have found the Grizzly, on average will do their own thing but they have a very short fuse. Polar Bears will eat you because they are hungry, not because they are angry. Dont underestimate the Black Bear, I have personally had more...

Guy, thank you, but you have the women on the forum mixed up. April and Aleena would also suggest Kilamajaro, Turnbull, Wild West, Brockmans, and Big Horn, but they are waaaaaay out of my league and budget, but I like your style. Nice rifles one and all. I love the 71, but just can't bring...

Mike, thank you, good point. Actually you and April were thinking the same thing, as approx a half hour after my post she emailed me with the same information you provided to me as well as mentioned what Bear just mentioned. just use the thread protector and the barrel is even shorter, putting...

bdbrown66--thank you for the Henry suggestion. Nice rifles but they dont offer, to my knowledge, some things I would prefer. But will look it up, maybe I am wrong Bear78--thank you for your willingness to help April, help me. appreciated. here is were we are trapper --16 1/2 barrel, 35...

Dr Mike. I m so glad that you are still getting out for a bit and enjoying the wilderness, streams, wildlife , especially in the spring time. You have harvested plenty of game Dr Mike, there is nothing wrong with just enjoying your time with them. Yes,I Agree no matter how many times I watch...

Those who know me will know I am trying to answer in the only way I know how, others will take exception Hunting for us in not a hobby. It is at the very core of our culture, even our existence Knowledge of the land, animals, animal's reactions, animal's habit's, weather, in conjunction...

Excellent post Gil. And congratulations on the success of the maternal penning program, well done! I feel you and Dr Mikes pain in regards to the roads and industrial growth. The roads and industrial complexes do not just disrupt nature but allows far more hunters into areas they were unable...

I agree with Mike. The Porcupine and Forty Mile herds have continued to increase in numbers. Most of the other herds, here in Canada are in decline. I personally believe that urban creep, mining, logging, oil exploration, industrial complexes, that stupid highway in the Yukon/NW Territories...

I always enjoy your articles Mike. Very well written. I was able to find several of your articles and have enjoyed reading each of them. We are currently using the 275 H & H with a fixed 6X scope for Caribou, Goat and Sheep. We use 160 gr and 175gr Woodleigh. Today was 175

Earle, is correct, We do, in fact, pray to the spirits of the animal we are about to harvest. In fact, it is part of the "teaching" of a young future hunter. I tried to give a larger picture yesterday, but was shot down, so will not bother you men any further, but wanted to let others know...

everybody makes excellent suggestions

I am with you, Dr Mike, Hodgeman, April. Some tried to get me to buy one as they said it would be the easiest rifle to field clean that I would ever own and would also be the best extreme element rifle I would ever own. I dont know if that is true or not as I never got one. We do have...

Dr Mike, excellent post/point's. This is exactly what I express to the young people I work with. however, since my first rifle was a used 30-06, using store bought ammo, it is amazing that I did not starve to death

IMHO the biggest predator is the animal rights activist and the feminist groups. They have literally killed our sealing business, banned grizzly hunts in B.C., purposely mis stated Polar Bear numbers, even Caribou hunting is now banned in some areas, ----it is not pretty, and using pepper spray...

Dr Mike, and what makes my spelling even worse, as you know I am currently working on my masters degree. Thank god that degree is not in English lol And as you know I agree with your second point 1000%

Dr Mike----I like this guy!
