a few times--and--not always anti-climatic, depends on location of animal, time of year and water/land, when it is hunted. Just getting there can be the hard part in Nunavut, but for muskox, a bit easier in Greenland.
I agree, very nice
this might be an option in July, however hunting the white bear, muskox and walrus in Jan could be problematic, but definitely would fit into the framework of want the antis would consider fair chase
Thank you
Does anyone know if someone bought the Alaska Bullet works equipment after he passed and reopened that shop ?
I think my grandfather spoke to Hammer, so maybe, thank you. And Hawk is an option for sure. Swift does work but we see the same thing--out of stock, but we may call them...
sounds like a lever action rifle works well on large game ;)
We may run out of wood leigh bullets before they are back in production. what are you guys using in your 71,s ?
at first blush my response might seem to be a bit combative, but that is not my intention, I am simply stating how I feel and how I feel comes from having been in these types of sticky situations. Yes, many things can go wrong and usually do, but the three animals I dont take a chance with is...
The female hocky teams got Gold and Silver at the Winter Games this year.
Both teams also had First Nation females on their team
Congratulations to both teams, well done.
I played a bit of pond hockey with the boys and it is far more physical than some realize
How very kind. thank you gentlemen. For the record, these two have forgotten more than I know
It is time for us to head home and get back to work, we did what we could, but they are now in the process of arresting folks and moving the trucks.
You wont need "Sedna's" help on this trip, but...
These two gentlemen have far more knowledge and experience than I, --however (-: ------having said that I would definitely suggest you take the 340 and spend time, with it at the range before you go. It is highly unlikely that you will shoot anything except the wolf at 400 years, but if you...
We are, on the ground here, and what we do see is an attempt by others who do not agree with what the truckers are doing to "create" problems and shift the blame for any disruption, to the truckers and their supporters.
It somewhat reminds me of your march on the capitol. "Others" who were...
no argument from me, on either point. however personally when a moose, brown or white bear has made up their mind to attack myself and my dogs the 250gr bullet from woodleigh out of the 348 gives me a bit more comfort and has, to date, not failed us ( me/dogs ) --and I feel the same way about...
I was asked about how First Nation people feel about the truckers. I support them but not all do. Our "leadership" does not, but for a different reason. They are upset about the the "mis-use" and "mis-representation" of the so called First Nation "ceremonial " events in Confederation Park...
I agree but I suggested a 358, somewhat same ballistics with less bite. Also suggested the 356 if no 358's make themselves available to her. IMHO the 45/70 is too much gun for her and the 30/30 not enough--for the purpose intended. Everybody's adrenaline is high, including the moose or bear...
The dogs ARE her responsibility !!!!! Everyone is determined to make sure I undsetand that she took a pistol, not a rifle. Got it ! I ( got it ) after Dr Mike brought it to my attention in his post, following mine.
She is 100% responsible ! She knew she lived and would be working the...
Again. I know her and I do like her---so I have no ax to grind with her but if she went out with only a small caliber pistol then she is just stupid.
Moose have a history of attacking dogs, there are moose in her area and she leaves the house with a small caliber handgun ?
Repeating my prior...
So do I
I was asked to respond to this story
My first response is to agree with Guy and I do
My other reactions to the story are not so kind.
A 308 IS a high powered rifle and more than enough gun for a moose in the hands of someone that knows how to use it
Moose charges are not...
I made a post on this thread yesterday with more information but it appears to have been removed ?
Win 71, Savage 250/3000, and the Blr 7mmWSM are the three we use regularly .
Gil, hope you find the Finwolf
