Yes there's more animals here than I realized. Good numbers of moose and whitetail deer. I saw some elk tracks the other day so it's just a matter of time till we get one on camera. A few mulies there but more of them if I go higher in elevation. About 20 km to the east there are even some caribou.
Been really enjoying checking out the trail camera's every week. Here's my latest video. I'm hoping to find the gnarly 3x3 with a couple of extra points this fall. Seems like a cool buck.
I've used the 200 gr Accubond, 200 gr TTSX, 225 gr Sierra and 225 gr Partition on Black bears out of the Whelen and they all worked quite well. The Sierra would be considered the "softest" but it opens wide and will be a hammer. You'll do fine with any one of those.
Since I have a nice whitetail buck on my trail cameras and several others this looks to be a very interesting study this guy is doing. Looking forward to seeing more of his content.
Since it looks like the 200 gr Accubond is no longer made this would be a great replacement. Should be a lot less expensive than an Accubond but perform nearly as well. Would be awesome for deer sized game.
This is the key, it's all funded by the usual suspects to make things look worse than they are. The actual number of people who believe in this stuff is much smaller than people think.
The only protests that are real have been the trucker and farmer protests in recent years which is why they...
I ended up getting a pair of Muddy trail camera's on sale at our local Canadian Tire. Pretty happy with them so far but I hope those bears leave them alone!
My other one had a lot of action so will take a while to get it together. Eventually I'll try and do some narration with them.
You should have something to work with in that top cluster of bullets. I almost went with the 270 WSM but then the 6.8 Western came out. Still have dies for it and was thinking the other day a Browning BLR would be quite nice to own. It certainly is a fine cartridge and gets lots of speed with...
Congratulations on your bear he's a beauty. The 8x68 is a pretty potent round and that RWS brass will last forever when you start reloading. When I guided mountain goats I had a guy shoot one with that exact same factory load. I'm out again tomorrow afternoon for bear.
This isn't a case where a guy made an honest mistake, I know a couple of guys that happened to and no one thinks twice about it.
This guy has numerous infractions in BC and Alberta and they are the kind where it's impossible to have made an honest mistake. Oh well he will have to pay for all...
An update to this. Instead of taking responsibility for the many infractions they commited they are going full victim mode instead.

It's very similar to comparing a 270 Win to 280 Rem. Not much difference except one can shoot heavier bullets. The 9.3x62 has a lot more heavyweight bullets but the 35 Whelen will shoot flatter with its lighter bullets.
I used to want to shoot heavy 35 cal bullets but bullets in the 200-250...
