I am reluctant to respond here as I know there will be those who feel I am commenting on something I know nothing about, having never been to Colorado. But then again I agree with Earle, that no matter what I comment about, some here are not going to like it--- Be very very careful that this...

very nicely stated Dr Mike. Guy, backstops in the skillet are good, but dont forget that the nose and eyes are delicacies . When you fellows down south make headcheese you use a pigs head, but we do the same thing with a moose head. Also, didn't you fellows in Alaska, catch some flack when...

Guy, in 2013 and 2014, I was part of a group who made a proposal to Nova Scotia to "sell" moose hunts, allowing first nation tribe members to receive pay for guiding these hunts, as well as the first nation tribes receiving all the meat and hides, with the head being sent along with the hunter...

Earle, first and foremost I am sorry you lost him. Are you not allowed to use dogs to track wounded game ? Not hunt them but track them. Our little dog has saved our bacon several times, but tracking down wounded game.

John, I know you were being thoughtful when you made your post and all of us in "bear country" appreciate your thoughtfulness; But Dr Mike is correct, at least I agree with him Murders in N.Y. in 2017 approx 300 Murders in Toronto in 2017 approx 65 There are approx 300,000 to 400,000 sexual...

Have had some folks ask and I am sorry but I dont know much more than what has been reported. I am not currently in The Yukon, but have spoken to some people They lived in a very remote area, they were both knowledgeable on how to live in a remote area, so it is a surprise to some that she was...

Jim Firelight blinds geese and they will swim away from it. You put a plank across the canoe and build a fire on the plank. You rig a cover on the end of a rod and they will swim behind it and when they do you drop a net and start wringing necks. Maybe Rodger, but I bet Jim has already been...

Jim you have never heard of "night netting" ? The Mackenzie river covers over 2 million kilometers that is fed by 18 major tributaries and two very large lakes, which provide marshes that are prime breeding grounds for a variety of waterfowl ( geese, ducks, cranes ). The Mackenzie is the...

Jim 1.spot and stalk ( mainly sheep, goat, elk ) 2. track 3. opportunity--within personal, tribal and territory guidelines. When product is needed and the opportunity presents itself, even if we are out for a different reason than "hunting" ( mainly moose, caribou, bear ) We do enjoy bird...

our friend contacted me and ask that I respond to guys thread Guy, I have no idea what article your talking about but the Polar has always been in the Hudson Bay area, as has the Black bears. It is the grizzly that has expanded its range and has done so in several areas----ie--grolars or...

What a beautiful statement Mike To take this a step further and I know Guy, Dr Mike, Gil, Don and Earle have eluded to enjoying the mountains, streams, meadows, rivers without ever firing a shot and I am sure their are many others here that feel the same way. I enjoy watching A herd of walrus...

and another twist to Gil's point Back in 2002 two B.C. hunters accidentally crossed into The Yukon and harvested two goats. They never knew they had moved across the border and proudly hung their trophies and pictures of their trophies in their place of business. One individual recognized the...

I agree with you 100% Dr Mike. A woman from Norway was fined and lost her firearm for shooting Ptarmigan out of season here the The Yukon., We have terrible experiences with Reality Show crews, who feel they can do whatever they want while here. One was recently fined for shooting three...

Gil, I saw this after my post yesterday but have been unable to get service and probably wont be able to respond again for a while--but-- My grandfather ask me about this for a trapping rifle and he is looking for a Win 65 to match my 71. I was wondering why you and Scotty are not looking at...

Congrats Fotis the 270 way is my husbands favorite caliber. The 270 and 340 go everywhere and the 257 and 300 collect dust You have so many Weatherby, you have to be one of their favorite customers. I heard Weatherby moved to Wy just to be close to you

+ 1 All my rifles are bad weather rifles. I always take two with me--dog sled, canoe, plane, snowmobile, and they are both bad weather rifles ( usually the 348 and 7mmwsm ) I dont have a rifle that I would not take out to hunt with congrats on the CZ pickup, nice rifles, but like Dr Mike...

you guys, I dont want this thread to slide into oblivion until more have seen it. Also, those who have posted above who have lived around and hunted the big bears ( grizzly and polar ), make excellent comments. Hodgeman brought up some other points that should be considered and any of you who...

Gil, congratulations on your hunt. You and Susan will enjoy this fine table fare. We love the Caribou as well. Just my opinion which is worth exactly what it is costing you. I used the 88/284 and did not like it. At first I liked the looks of the rifle, but found the stock style actually...

I was alerted to this thread and ask to respond as I do have some experience with bears. First and foremost, my heart and prayers go out to the family of the guide. Very sad for them. May God bless them and comfort them Secondly I was not there obviously but in quickly reading the news...
