go to Alaska. Dont even consider Canada. Contact Bear, Hodgeman an GBflyer who live there and ask for recommendations. I can also ask Brooke if you want me too. Plus Guy was just there, ask him.
Gil will be along to answer your question in more detail, but yes he can hunt the grizzly...
With all the rifle cranks we have on this forum, I am assuming the last post by Gil somehow went unnoticed.
That is fantastic Gil !!!! great additions to your already large stable of rifles. With all due respect, you should have looked for a Win 348, unless you prefer to scope the 348 and...
I admire the ability you guys have in being able to have so many favorite rifles to hunt with. I just dont have the time to acquaint myself with so many different rifles and calibers. I take the 348 out almost every day, whether I am hunting, trapping, working, researching, or guiding. It is...
348 and 275 H & H
I like my 300 H & H, 30-06, 7mmwsm, 375 H & H and 45/70, but nothing beats the 348 as a do everything rifle and that little 275 H & H is such a sweet mountain rifle. However, the 30-06 was the only rifle I owned until I was out of college and believe it or not Scotty...
thanks mike, I was just curious. I know the restrictions above Eagle are still in effect.
I am glad your able to fish for them again and the one you caught is a beauty--congratulations again
As an aside you and other fishermen here might enjoy this story. A while back a 750 lb Sturgeon was...
Dan,
What a delightful post, thank you sir.
It sounds like paradise, congratulations on owning such a nice piece of mother earth. And how nice it is for you to share your good fortune with your friends.
I have never hunted turkeys and possibly never will but in certain places and at...

I enjoyed reading your posts Dan and to understand the hunting restrictions of other hunters. Although 267 acres seems very small to me, I bet it is a large hunk of land for someone to own in your area, congratulations on that!
We use waterways a lot, for transportation, hunting...
was asked to post
Dr Mike has summed it up pretty well on all points in regards to the incident in question. I also would be curious why they stayed under the tree, it doesn't sound right to be honest. But glad she is o.k.
In general I tend to take the animals side on these issues as each of...
Guy, what a wonderful hunt and story, congratulations on the hunt and the published story.
I know that on occasion I will fly someone somewhere and the amount I receive is always welcome but part of the hunt expenses some do not plan for. What we charge to take polar bear hunters out on a dog...
Mike, a very good explanation of the three types of bears
Do you remember when I was working on the P>B> research team, one of the factors was what effect the company's, who take their clients out to see the P.B. s have on eliminating any fear of humans. In the wild they tend to move away...
Excellent Commentary Gil
Dr Mike, thank you for posting the news story. I received the information via the RCMP and appreciate your posting the article about the incident
I noticed Guy and Dr Mike have posted bear stories recently so thought you may be interested in this one
A polar bear was stalking his children so he told his children to run to the boat while he distracted the bear. The children got to the boat safely, but the father was killed.
He was not...
It looks like Mike is ignoring all our suggestions---especially mine---which is too bad, as once he hunted with a 71, he would forget all about building anything, as he would realize, once he hunted with the 71, you can not improve on perfect
Dr Mike
That is extremely well stated sir !!!!!!!!!!!
To give the fellows here a peek inside, as I know, that you sir already know this.
I get hit hard because I am an Inuit and allowed to hunt, for our dinner, so to speak. It is amazing how many hate that we have that option. I told you...
Mike, I know you said bolt, but everything you describe, screams a lever 348, 356, 358
I have a custom made 375 H & H on a pre 64 model 70, that I really like a lot for the type of hunting you are describing
As far a putting together a rifle. I tried making 458 Lott a few years back and...
Rodger, you have heard of the Beaufort Sea. It has a fish or two lol We eat a large variety of fish from the sea, river, lake. We cook fish in the grill and "slam" it on the plate
Gil, I hope you wil get your Africa slam, that would be quite an accomplishment
Bill. I thought they changed it to IHOB
There are a lot of negatives living in the territories--cold, dark, isolation, but we are rich in big game animal species
Black, White and brown bear, wolf, cougar, Barren ground and Woodland Caribou, Elk, Moose, Dall and Stone sheep, Goat, Mule and...
