    Wolf Depredation In Grand County, CO

    Feel sorry for any loss to the ranchers and the stress to their livestock that the wolves have created. I am pretty familiar with the mapped area having spent 20 years in that part of Colorado. The real impact is going to be to the moose. While fortunately, the ranchers will hopefully receive...

    Trespassing? Worth shooting a snowboarder?

    Those pants the gunman is wearing are special. Agree it seems scripted.

    Dall Sheep Spotting scope choice/opinion

    You are in for a good time. We first hunted with Tim when he was the head guide for the Collingwood Bros in the Spatsizi in BC before he got his own outfit in the Yukon. Both my best friend and I got our rams with Tim. Are you going to have a grizzly or caribou tag?

    Dall Sheep Spotting scope choice/opinion

    I doubt you would ever regret having too much scope on a sheep hunt. Having horses are a great luxury so you won’t be lugging the scope around all of the time. I have found my alpha glass was of better quality than what the guides were packing on several hunts . On the spike outs or day hunts...

    Pinched nerve in neck - cant lift arm

Some of the ranges I used were public and didn’t allow down range sky screens. Went to a LabRadar and...

    NWT - Late Season

    I wouldn’t go on a designated sheep hunt in the NWT during mid to late September. You could possibly add on a sheep on a trophy fee basis on a moose hunt during that time of year . You could end up with Indian summer. I spent nearly a month in the Mackenzie Mtns Sept 10 - Oct 5th time frame...

    Leophoto Versus RRS Tripods

    Glad you are the self appointed final authority on CCP manufacturing. Your quote “we don’t have a choice” is entertaining at best. Everyone is a self proclaimed expert on the internet. Leaving for China again on Sunday for a 3 week biz trip. Glad I have all of your facts and expertise on China.

    Aggressive lion encounter
