    Haul Road August 2023

    I lived in that area for several years. I never needed 2 spare tires, as long as you have good tires...I preferred Cooper tires. Remember mosquito repellant and bug net. A good GPS is a must. I wouldn't camp way off of the road, you'll want to stay somewhat mobile. Have a good hunt.

    Spear fishing a form of hunting?

    I grew up spearing fish off the southern California coast. I'd consider it both hunting and fishing. Being young and without much money, I made what we called a Hawaiian sling.

    Anyone here hunt out West with a 30-30?

    I would never argue against a 94 Winchester. That said, I sure like my Marlin 336. It's a 30-30 Ackley "improved". I have both, but carry the Marlin the most.

    Anyone call/bring in blacktail or black bear?

    I've killed several Sitka blacktail on Kodiak Island over the years by blowing on a blade of grass, to simulate a fawn in distress. I'm guessing you are asking about columbian blacktail, but I bet it works for them as well. I have friends that had bears respond. I never did that I'm aware of...

    Better than leupold

    IMO, stay with what you have and use the money for more ammo! Any perceived gain you might get by buying something new, really won't make a huge benefit unless you're shooting really long distances.

    Loading for a 22-250

    Mine loves Varget, especially with the Berger bullets. I don't have my load data but believe it's 34gr. several coyotes will attest to the accuracy and results.
