Correct me if I’m wrong but the border is closed by each country to non-essential travel, meaning travel by residents of either country to the next for recreational purposes is not possible.
I think there’s good and bad in how each country has handled it, and there’s other countries in the...
25,000 Kms on my ‘19 3.5 Eco (XLT, FX4, 3.55’s). 2.5” BDS front level and ReadyLift 3.5” rear block with 286/65R20 BFG KO2’s. Average about 13.5 L/100kms (17.5mpg) between city, highway, and backroads. Been a great truck so far and really like the way it drives. Had two 5.0’s previous to this...
Excellent trip, looks like you had an absolute riot. My wife and I went to NZ for our honeymoon and I managed to squeak in a hunt, albeit guided not DIY. It was a free range Tahr hunt where we flew into the tops to camp similar to you. My wife and I each took a bull Tahr. The terrain is amazing...
I can appreciate a great mount of any type, but I like Troutbums style.
Not a goat, but when my wife and I each shot a bull Tahr in NZ we had them flat skinned and tanned, and euro’d the skulls. Turned out awesome and I hope to add a goat to the collection.
Plan to build a display for the...
Agree on the moose’ ability to absorb lead seemingly unaffected, until they tip over on their own.
Last bull I shot was at 90 yards with a 338 Win 225 ttsx. Broadside 2 through the lungs, 2 more as a frontal when he turned. Bullet performance was excellent based on the one the butcher found...
Knowing the area it was likely a wolf snare, strong as hell. Lions are getting to be more common in Saskatchewan but not to the point where there is a population recognized by our resources department.

I’m no where near SoCal and so my advice may be a bit off based simply on that, but I would recommend joining a local fish and wildlife club. Spending time at the range and volunteering to help out at club events earns some credibility with folks who are would be mentors. Relationships with...
I’ve shot several critters with them. The only one I’ve ever recovered is in the picture below; frontal shot on a bull moose at approximately 90 yards. Butcher recovered it in a hind quarter. This was a .338 Win 225 gr TTSX.
I have utilized the 140 gr version in a .280 Remington, passed through...
This is a cool, and refreshing thread. While I do have pricy new gear it’s awesome to see guys “run what they brung” and enjoy doing it. The sport needs more of this attitude in my opinion.
Cheers, guys!
