Haha, actually my father did make me a bow and arrow, but as mentioned it wasn't something I could hunt anything with. I did see the Bow and Arrows you speak of when in the Northwest Territories. Now those are made to hunt with. Earle, what a great post, thank you

If in a survival mode I would think a combo rifle shotgun would be very helpful, for me, as to not limit my dinner opportunities. Birds and small game are sometimes more plentiful and even easier than large game, plus it does not limit your options when hungry. And to be honest I do not feel...

I also agree with Gil and Allen, the 223 in the Sako Carbonlite would be an excellent choice. I would sell the 243 ( you said you would sell the 243 or 257 to get the 30-06 )) and she would have 223 257 6.5 x 55 7mm-08 30-06 9.3 x 62 375 H & H What could one not hunt with that line up ...

I was thinking the same thing Rodger, or an off the shelf 240 Weatherby, or a plain jane 243, even with off the shelf ammo they would reach out there and touch a whistle pig. My wife and I both enjoy the 257 Weatherby and have considered purchasing a 240 as we like the Weatherby products Has...

Gil, Hodgeman, thank you!

a 257 Camillia, a 308 Sako and a 6.5 x 55 /9.3 x 62 Blaser would let one hunt everything in the world excluding the dangerous 7 and I am not sure one could not hunt the lion and leopard with the 9.3 x 62, but I do not know the regulations. If Grandma ( April ) leaves her 375 H & H to her...

Can someone tell me what big game animals can be hunted in Alaska without a guide or an Alaskan resident present, if any thank you

I dont envision Dr Mike letting anybody push him into anything, with the possible exception of his wife and Gil and possibly not even them lol Hodgeman, April, I am another who was thinking about the Carbonite and as you mentioned Hodgeman the 7mm-08 seems like it would be perfect in that rifle

Too funny, AND Brave, since everybody here loves the Whelen, except you, me, and Nathan. Enjoy your time in Finland

Nathan and April, thank you for the info. April, I bet you have forgotten more than I know, but you are right about some of the guys here, reading Nathan's post makes one realize how much one ( me) does not know.

Dewey, Nathan and all other wildcat lovers The 26 Nosler, seems to have a following and appears to be at or close to the high water mark for the 6.5, like the 244 H & H is for the 6 and 224 TTH is for the 22. The 26 Nosler has had it,s fair share of ink , but you hear nothing about the other...

Nathan, I have found all I need in the Weatherby line up and have a 257, 300, and 340 and to date those three have been more than enough to handle everything in North America, but this thread educated me on a few things for sure. Rodger mentioned the Weatherby is a direct Ackley line which I...

This is funny--how did the 6.5 slip in there ? you might want to consider replacing it with a 257 Weatherby so as to stay true to the Weatherby line. If you will notice my post, I also like the Weatherby, but am a little more diverse in the use of their product --HA

LOL. did you see any of these fellows when you were in Oregon ? myself whitetail and antelope 257 wby black bear and mule deer 300 wby elk and moose 340 wby wife whitetail, antelope, elk 270 win unfortunately that is the only animals we have hunted When we vacationed in Canada's NW...

hunting birds with a shotgun from a boat in the ocean would be an interesting challenge for sure. Obviously no bird dogs required. But a new place, a different challenge, is always fun, especially if it involves hunting

most of us can not even imagine a school allowing the teachers to teach hunting and trapping. Besides folks like Dr Mike, gil and cheyenne, are hunting and trapping taught in your school district ? Hodgeman, do they teach hunting in the Alaska schools ?

1. do you use the same ear protection when hunting that you do at the range ? 2. what ear protection do you use when hunting ? 3. does any of you use muzzle brakes on your rifles when hunting ?

+ 1 I am with you Charles Jamila, just for my education which is the fastest. Obviously the double is the fastest for two, which is all the time you would have if a lion was charging you, but four might go to the lever or the bolt

I think Wade Stuteville is right next door to you in Oklahoma

sorry Jamila, we dont want her !!!!!!!! Charles, that is great news. Is the Elk hunt in Colorado with an old friend perhaps? Best of luck!
