    Headed out in the morning!

    They sit right at the hatchery weir and just eat all day long. They barely have to move, just eat fish heads and eggs all day. Its funny to watch them snap the heads off and just eat heads and eggs and let the fillets float away.

    Headed out in the morning!

    This year was a bust! Spent 8 days out near Chicken. Put over 130 miles on the SXS, dozens of miles on the boot soles. Glasses miles of country. Only saw two moose. One a nubbin bull and cow. The day before season. Saw one bear briefly a few days later. It was a nice camping...

    300WM and barrel length

    I recently replaced my Seekins havak with a beretta brx1 because of barrel length. The Seekins was one of the most accurate rifles I have ever owned but it’s 26” barreled when combined with a9” supressor was just too unwieldy. The brx1 has a 22” barrel. Matting that up with a6” supressor...

    Northern Lights and a brown bear photography

    I have found the northern lights app on the iPhone does a good job. I get to see the lights quite a bit.

    British totalitarianism

    Sounds like a good way for a Brit Bobby to get shot. I guess they don’t remember the lessons learned in 1776

    The Turdy-Turdy

    A buddy of my dad’s wife used a savage 340 in 30-30 my whole childhood. It was a pretty accurate rifle and accounted for many whitetails over the years. I think you will enjoy that rifle.

    DIY water filtration system

    I think if I did it again I would probably go with 3 or even 4 filters per bucket. It takes several hours to filter all 5 gallons. I had done 2 so I would have two spare filters. it definitely wouldn’t be a bad idea for an emergency situation to have one at the house. We didn’t have...

    DIY water filtration system

    Clean water on these longer hunting trips is always a concern. A lot of the commercial water treatment pellets don’t taste great. I found some DIY plans to make a Berkey style water filter out of 5 gallon buckets. Filters I got on Amazon for 53 dollars for 4 filters. The buckets and lids...

    45-70 and 350gr Hot Cor?

    I’ve run that 350gr Speer in my 458 Lott at 2780fps. Accuracy has been great and from what I’ve seen of them used by others on Alaskan Gabe it’s a very effective bullet even at higher velocity. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it on any North American big game

    Headed out in the morning!

    We spent 8 days out near chicken. Over 130 miles covered on the SXS, miles glassed. Only saw two moose the day before season started. The caribou are hanging up in zone 1 so nothing in the area we were in. With the lack of moose being seen we decided to regroup and head to another area...

    Headed out in the morning!

    Got everything loaded up for 20 days out moose hunting. Just about everything is on the menu caribou, bears of any color, wolves, small game and moose. I have a 10 hour drive and then another 3 hours in the SXS to where we will be hunting. Hopefully I’ll have some great pictures for...

    A bear finally

    Congrats, hopefully you didn’t mess your skull up too badly. A euro bear skull is a really nice trophy. Now you will have some fine eating. My favorite things to do with bear is Al pastor style in a vertical spit or canned with jalapeño slices in garlic and southwest seasoning. It also...

    UTV Gun Rack

    Pretty clever setup. I have a rubber wedge shaped gun holder that buckles into the middle seat for my ranger 1000 high lifter. You lose the seat but it’s very secure and works well even with longer barrels. It’s almost like a car seat for your gun. If you zoom in you can see it in the...

    340 weatherby advice

    It’s 1/2x28 at 26” now. It’s my hope that with the taper that 4” shorter should get me enough material to thread 5/8x24
