    2019 Spring Bear Success Thread

    I just go 4 whole legs, two back straps, two tenders, the neck, heart and then the little off cuts that u missed on the whole cuts. I'll take rib meat there is any to speak of. This bear had paper thin rib meat and little fat for rendering. I'll throw a tape on the hide this weekend when I pull...

    2019 Spring Bear Success Thread

    Just got back from a diy spot n stalk with the rifle up in northern Ontario. 12hr drive north to make a basecamp. Not a huge bear, but plenty big when packing out to the truck! Meat and hide are in the freezer now. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Fire starters

    I used the WetFire tabs for the first time early last spring on a northern Ontario bear hunt. It was a cold, wet week and those little suckers worked great. Usually just lit them with the bic, but tried the ferro rod one time and they seemed to take the spark well too. Sent from my SM-G930W8...

    Backpacking with suppprt?

    I usually take my Alite Mantis chair, especially if I think we will be holed-up under a tarp with bad weather. It's just so nice for the back and legs. I feel like the extra "strain" from carrying the weight of the chair is offset by the ability to sit comfortably around camp or under the tarp...

    2018 Best Whitetail Photo Contest, sponsored by SITKA Gear

    Well done guys (and gals), lots of great deer! Rut is in full swing here, and despite hunting with 4 other guys at camp, this is the first buck I saw this year. We share tags though, so more on the way. This one came in, nose to the ground in the swamp edge, trailing a doe that came by...

    2018 Best Whitetail Photo Contest, sponsored by SITKA Gear

    No entries yet? Was everyone busy so far this season with inconvenient honeymoons, or is that just me? First hunt of the season will be tomorrow for me. Hopefully my next post includes a pic. Good luck out there, gang. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Hunting season countdown

    Edit: I should clarify that I had to punch in the dates and times myself (it's a basic app). But I just fire them all in when the regs come out. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Hunting season countdown

    It's an app called "Time Until" in the Google play store (free) for Android. Punch in the date/time for something, throw in a fun background pic and it starts counting down Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Multi fuel stoves - need help

    I run an Optimus Nova multifuel. I have to sacrifice a little extra weight compared to a canister stove, but I love it. Burns white gas/kerosene/diesel/etc with ease (some fuel just burns dirtier than others). Boils fast (even faster with a wind blocker of foil). I have taken it on backpack...
