Went out this morning for a run. MEANT to do 5km around a loop I know well in the cities river valley. Felt good at the bridge I usually cross at the far end of my loop so I thought 'the...

I have been hammering at the gym everyday before work (6 days a week). Free weights and shooting at home at night. Usual day is up at 4:30am. In the gym at 6:30am. Run 3 miles, stationary bike...

I'm not sure what area you are planning on going into but I can tell you what I see where I hunt:

On or within 2miles of the main trail on the valley floor I see 2-5 people over a weekend. In...

A good test I find to work for most people is if you can run at 6miles/hour for 3 miles (30min) without stopping with a 20lb pack on. I use that as a benchmark when I have friends who want come with...

Hey all


I am a Canadian looking to do an archery antelope hunt in the great state of Wyoming and I am looking at 88 ranch outfitters out of Douglas. Has anyone ever used this outfit? Good...

I've seen moose in the wide open alpine in the summer and crossing alpine snow fields in the fall.

Check out Integral Designs if you're looking or something super light and super strong. I have used their bivy, siltarp, and expedition tents. Just about bullet proof in weather, only hole I have...

I've used the SPOT system from Alaska through the western US states and the whole west half of Canada. The messages take a few minutes to send, but they always work if you give it a chance. Don't...

Where I hunt everyone has the Primos calls. I went to some made by Rocky Jackobson and it makes all the difference. A little different sound in an area where every other hunter sounds the same.

That is very cool. I took a grizzly a few years back. When I skinned the skull I found half a bullet lodged in the forehead. Bear had been shot long enough ago that there was no mark on the skin...

It's all through the federal government so just go to the Canada immigration website. If your coming to be a teacher they might speed you though a bit. Particularly if your going way up to the...

Don't need to win the lottery just move to BC. Sheep tag is about $60 bucks, moose is $25, elk $25, black bear is $20, grizzly is $80.
Only things you need to draw a tag for is grizzly, dall sheep,...

If your lucky enough to be born in BC (like me) you can DIY stone's, big horn, dall and fannin over the counter every year. One sheep a year (all species combined). Buy a tag, go hunt.

All my life I have seen grizz up and moving all winter. The key to remember is that a grizz does not go into a true 'hibernation' from a biologist standpoint. They slow down there metabolism and...

I am planning some scouting trips to the Wilmore Wilderness in North West Alberta later this year. I have found all my maps and done the scouting I can do from home and I am pumped to get out in the...

For me it depends on a lot on the size of an area. If I see another truck at a trail head that leads into a 1000 sq miles of public land, I'll walk in. Simply because there is more than enough...

Thanks for the review OR Archer and 8750.

OR Glad to hear someone is using it. What you said is pretty much what I thought about it.

8750 I was worried about the same thing. But I just...

I like straight for being able to get something in view quickly without a tripod (free hand) And ya, the angled vs. straight thread is good. Very Ford V. Chevy

Hey all


I'm in the market for a new backpacking rain jacket and I stumbled on the Under Armour Stealth Rain Jacket. It seems to fit nice in the store, it is light enough, packs small...

I'd say the Russel or the Sitka. I am not a fan of rivers west for backcountry because they get so hot and breath so poorly. Second to the comment about Rivers west holding water on them when wet.

I am a huge fan of the Barnes tripple shock bullets, but the tipped and the non-tipped. I use them in my .270 and I have found excellent results with them. I load them pretty hot and they stand up...

I have shot with a cast on both hands at separate times.

On the bow hand. I brought my bow in and had the doc mould a piece of the cast to hold the riser over the palm of my hand. Worked not...

Fanatical. Def: marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion Merriam-Webster.

That set up will work fine. I used to shoot something similar and never had an issue.

Have gone through 2 QAD ultra rests. Broke them both in less than a season each. Loved shooting them, hated replacing them.
