Bring a good ATV and trailer long enough to haul ATV and meat wagon...
Bear spray I will never depend on bear spray in Bear territory. I live with bears in Alaska and always take a Shotgun with Breneke Slugs or Marlin 45/70 and always a Glock 20 in 10mm or my SW 629 in 44 mag. I have been very close to huge brown bears and shot over their head when needed. This...
Had a bear come into moose stand this year he growled at me. I went to higher ground to see if I could see him and get a shot. He must have smelled me I never saw him. It was late in the evening so I just quit moose hunting and went back to camp 100 yards away. I slept light that night with...

That Rem 600 in 350 Mag with...
I am a strong advocate for Win Brass because of the great powder capacity it has. But have to say I have not bought any in probably 10 years. I stocked up heavily during Obama years. I even have some virgin 92 Palma Match brass made by WW. I use a lot of M852 1971 brass with 748 @ 44.0 with...
I will always have a couple of 30-06 …….my fist Browning BAR grade 2 that I bought in 1973 and my second a Win 70 XTR I bought in 1979. Still have them both and continue to use IMR 4350 @ 56.0 with 165gr . Love the 30-06 I have used mine from North Carolina to Alaska.
Speaking of poop (scat) had a big bear pile under my bedroom window in yard I found later one spring. I always keep a Bennelli M4 with Breneke Slugs close by.
Bear Dogs here in Alaska would go crazy too many bear. You would have dogs going after too many bear simultaneously. You would have...
If people in Fairbanks actually knew how many bears are around Fairbanks their would be a massive exit of the population of the residents. Even the Biologists just use a formula method. At one time had 4 bears circling my bait stand very cool watching the bear. I grew up in NC bear hunting with...

The rest of this administration time in office is going to be very interesting. Getting nothing done but appointing and assigning people in swamp position within the system even more so. I spent 1.5 years on a military project as a analyst in DC and I hated every minute. I had no respect for...
