    Varget for 6.5 CM?

    Going through my reload powders and it seems I have a bit of Varget. I don't have any load data and the only quick search internet recipe I found is for 35.5 of Varget behind a 143 gr ELD-X. I'm trying to come close to Hornady Precision Hunter factory as the Kimber Montana likes them. Any...

The draws my wife and I have are accessible from the house by taking quads up to where we will start hiking. So realistically we can...

    Truly waterproof camera

    Looking for a camera I can snorkel with, dip in a creek and take pics as well as just general day to day stuff. Any recommendations? I see there are a couple of 2 year old threads but what's the current best bet? $500 give or take a couple of hundred. Point and shoot or similar with some...

    She got it done

    Yukon Dall hunt

    I sat on a small patch of open ground, surrounded by the yellow and red of early fall dwarf birch and willow, my elbows propped up on my knees and my eyes glued to the bino's and focused on the very tops of two sets of Dall horns. The only parts visible from 160 yards away. For 3 hours we had...

    What's Resolution 69 about?

    Out of curiosity, what's the latest uproar from anti groups on Resolution 69 that recently passed? Obviously does not affect me but my wife's friend book feed lit up with it the other day and being an ardent predator she was also curious if it was more self righteous indignation by anits or...

    value of a goat cape?

    Any one ever bought or sold a mtn goat cape? Curious what they might go for. I currently have 2 half mounts and one life size in the freezer and I'm toying with the idea of selling the half mounts to help fund the life size. All 3 have been soft tanned so no real hurry... just a thought at this...

    Dall quest 2015

    I lay on the ridge with my eye glued to the spotter, watching the bedded Dall ram about 400 yards away. He was lying with his right side to me and I could see a broomed off horn, occasionally he would show his left and a tantalizing glimpse of a full curl. Or was it? It was opening day of...

    Chasing unicorns...

    ...or at least I might as well be. I am convinced that the best bear repellent for me is a tag in my pocket. Snake bit for the last 3 years on grizzly I hoped this would finally be the year. I had drawn a spring tag in the northwest corner of BC, between Haines Junction, Yukon and Haines...
