I have found the Goat to be a little tougher than Sheep as well as the desire to anchor them ( Goat ) on the spot where they are hit, so as to keep them from looking for a crevice to fall into. I will take my new 257 Weatherby on its first Sheep hunt, but feel I might be better served to...

Ridegerunner665, thank you so much, that is great information. My grandmother bought me a Citori when I was 12 and I have enjoyed it a lot, which is probably why I was thinking about another over and under-----however my grandmother and april as well as you and TheBear have suggested a 12 gauge...

ridge runner, De Vette, April, Thebear thank you all so much for taking the time to respond The bear, you are not the first one to tell me the automatic would be a better choice, and you may be right. I intend to try one this weekend and may decide to go that way, thank you--------April, I...

looking for a new over and under 20 gauge. No competition shooting, strictly a bird shotgun ( upland and waterfowl ) Any suggestions ? Brooke

Bryce, If you are now considering a 45/70,----- before you buy it look at the WWG ported co-pilot. You can shoot the 457 wwg bullet, the 45/70 bullets and a 410 shotgun shell in it. It breaks down easily and ride nicely in a float plane. I would like to have one and I have put out hints...

Dr Mike putting price and collectable aside, from a function, dependability, accuracy, hunt ability point off view a 358 in a BLR, 99, or 88 ? thank you Brooke

Guy, sounds like you had an enjoyable day sir. This is my next goal, is to take a grizzly with a bow. I have started researching equipment. Do you feel 25 to 35 yards is the appropriate distance or would you be comfortable shooting grizzly at longer distances with a bow ? There is a fellow up...

Dr Mike, Scotty, Guy, hodgeman, and every other gentlemen on the forum, please feel free to correct me, as each of you have far more knowledge than I. Bryce, Before I bought the 348, I looked at the 358 and 45/70, even the 356, but immediately saw no advantage to the 356 over the 358. The...

sockeye, we know a couple commercial fishermen and it is a tough tough job. Thanks for the post. Guy, you were there a few years ahead of me, you were there a few years before I was born lol I am glad you enjoyed your trip. although I really enjoyed the trip and look forward to returning, It...

salmon chaser, this was our third trip and this time we went to Becharof and Akhiok ( Kodiak ) Hodgeman----A young man ask me if I ever think about the movie "The Edge" when flying in a float plane and I told him only about twice a day LOL. The weather is bad when your on the ground and it...

My grandmother took my brother and I for a trip to various locations on the peninsula. The bears are larger than around the area where we hunt. It was a fun and educational trip. I was wondering how many of our Alaska members have, hunted, fished, visited or maybe live on the peninsula. Or...

Congratulations to Evan. Another young man does well !! As I mentioned to you sir in the "what are we hunting with this year" thread. It was great to see so many young people, boys and girls, and some very young, harvesting animals in Alaska, in this years hunting regulations. Loved them...

we are in the time of the year that allows us to hunt Caribou, Moose, Wolf, Black and Brown bear, so I will be using the 300 H & H with a 180 gr North Fork.this year. My great uncle loads them for me. Hodgeman, don't you love the regulations this year and how they included so many young people...

Exactly LOL it is crazy sometimes, My grandmother will look at me sometimes when we are out and we are wet, and cold, and she will ask me " are we having fun yet ?" best if luck bear and hodgeman Brooke

Jamila I wish you the best of luck. It sure sounds like fun. I don't have a clue as far which bullet you should try but I am a little surprised several of our reloader ;s have not given you some suggestions, well a couple did. I like charlie's post lol Brooke

April, you are reading my mind. Because of school and work I have not had a chance to really research this, but at first blush, it will push a 140 gr bullet further, flatter and faster than a 120 in the 257, or a 140 in the 270 or 7mm weatherbys. with a recoil less than I am use too.. Since we...

Nice rifle and scope congratulations what is the recoil velocity and energy Fotis---thank you Brooke maybe you can just give me an idea if your not sure, like it recoils like a "---"

excellent question cheyenne and thank you gentlemen for your excellent responses and answers to her question. I must admit, I had the similar thought that cheyenne had. I thought it has to be a labor of love, fun, and exciting for them and that is all it needs to be of course. But in the...

preacher, again thank you for sharing your knowledge and guidance with me. We have spoken to the Marine corp and are currently investigating that direction for my education. They can not only help with the law but the language. The language of course can be obtained in other ways, like...

preacher, thank you and everyone. yes it will have a 26 inch barrel. And thank you for the well wishes --ie school and work. The hardest part about college is I will soon need to leave Alaska as I have chosen to pursue an International Law degree. To make myself look more attractive to...
