    Anyone on a Medicare Advantage Plan?

    There is a reason that the big insurance companies (United, Humana, etc.) push Medicare Advantage- they are one of the insurer's most profitable product lines. They are not profitable if they pay out money to doctors and hospitals for acute care for serious illness. They are generous with...

    300 grain Barnes tsx for brown bear

    Bear in my avatar with a 270gr TSX at 100 yards. Anchored him. Bullet recovered under offside hide after going through shoulder and breaking neck was a perfect mushroom. Finishers through the chest whistled right through with a nice size exit hole. Similar results with 300 gr TSX on Cape...

    Fall vs Spring Peninsula Brown Bear hunt Pros/Cons

    9' 3" ft. squared, 26 4/16". Given the conditions and what apparently was a down year, even though it "just" made B&C award- I'm damn proud of that one.

    Fall vs Spring Peninsula Brown Bear hunt Pros/Cons

    The salmon were long gone by the second week of October 2019 in the part of the Becharof Wilderness I hunted (just below Katmai NP) on the coast of the Shelikof Strait.

    Fall vs Spring Peninsula Brown Bear hunt Pros/Cons

    Longer hair on the hide in the spring, but higher chance of rubs by all accounts. More snow up high, therefore easier to spot tracks/bears on snow in springtime. According to some knowledgeable people, pushing the fall opening back to the 7th means the bears in many areas are off the salmon...

    Leica Amplus 6 Riflescope review by Josh Boyd **updated 7/5/22**

    I snagged one of these in July. Just now mounting it up. I have a Magnus I really like. Weirdly, the Amplus 6 3-18x44i is not a choice on Leica's ballistic tool: http://ballistictool.leica-camera.com/#/2f529447-4a13-49be-955f-d3147cebb2ce/home. Kinda makes that rather busy reticle just...

    Old man workout

    Yeah, an incline treadmill ( I have one that'll go to 40 degrees) are great for cardio and building a base. Wearing your boots and packing some weight helps , too. But there is no substitute for humping up and down real hills with crappy footing for building balance and core strength...

    Who's actually killed a charging bear?

    The bear in my avatar was laid up on a kill. He never got to get unruly defending it because I put a 270 gr TSX from a .375 through his shoulder that then traveled through his cervical spine. Didn't move an inch. Clearly different than a charging bear, but the point is that if you want...

    What do you do with the carcass after the hunt?

    Like the Outlaw Josie Wales said: “buzzards gotta eat,too. Same as worms”. But no CWD in our part of MS. We dump them in an unobtrusive spot and let the scavengers scavenge.

    Death Hike in Southeast?

    Nice buck! I have taken more than my share of whitetails "slipping" on the ground and you are exactly right: it's all about getting into their space without being busted- whoever gets seen first loses. And you are correct that being repetetive is a great tactic for squirrel watching.

    Bass Pro Shop buys Sportsman’s Warehouse

    I am old enough to remember when Cabelas had a really good selection of quality gear at a reasonable price. They had started to slide before Bass Pro got hold of them, but that surely accelerated the descent. When even the Cabela's stores in South Dakota were thin on decent gear I saw the...

    Signed up for the Covid Zombie Juice.....

    That appears to be what is known as a vasovagal reaction. I've seen this especially in children and young soldiers getting vaccinated. Not all that uncommon. Probably as much from the fright of being on camera as the shot. Heart rate slows down, blood pressure drops, nausea- dizziness...

    Signed up for the Covid Zombie Juice.....

    I am a medical guy, for about 35 years. Still leading frontline teams. Some answers: 1. You are correct, in most diseases having the disease beats the vaccine. However, covid appears to be different. The persistence of natural immunity has significant variation in duration and antibody...
