    Keto Max Science?

    Anyone know anything about these gummies? Just found out about this and don't know much about it. From the little I've read it is all natural and effective? Maybe - or is it snake oil?

    Tall, lightweight hunting chair

    Looked at a few threads regarding camping chairs but still not sure about what might best suit my needs. I'm looking for a chair for Whitetail hunting. We hunt northern Alberta, with lots of hiking/scouting and then all day sits in cold temps. I have used the typical cheap folding camping chair...

    Swarovski 10x42 EL 2002

    Through the incredible generosity of my parents, I have been gifted a set of Swarovski 10x42 EL binoculars. They got them through my cousin, who bought them from someone upgrading to a newer pair. They had a scratched lens, and other signs of use, so my cousin had them completely refurbished by...

    Down the Sitka rabbit hole...!

    After a number of years of using my current early and midseason clothing beyond their past due date, its time for some new gear. Been analyzing, and over analyzing, all the options available and have narrowed down my choices. But, before I finalize anything, thought it would be smart to get...

    New for 2021?

    When do the clothing companies typically unveil their new products for the year? Might be different this coming year than previous, but is there a typical time when they bring out new product?

    Sitka Jetstream, Stratus, or other....?

    The season is just ending and think it is the last one for my current Sitka bibs and jacket. 15 years plus. Pretty happy with it, but it is pretty shredded now. My best guess, doing a little research, is my current set are the 90% product (but, I'm not positive on that). Picked it up on sale...

    Still trying to decide....binoculars

    I've posed questions, on this forum, quite some time ago about which binos to consider. I'm still trying to make up my mind! I've narrowed it down to the Maven B1 10x42, Maven B2 9x45 and the Meopta B1 10x42 HD. Problem is, where I am in Canada, I can't lay my hands on any of these. I really...

    New arrow help

    Considering new arrows and looking for some opinions. A number of years ago, I bought a few dozen PSE Carbon Force Radial X Weave Stl Hunter 300 shafts. I had tried a few and found they flew great out of my bow, were durable and a reasonable price. I have used them for years but now have not...

    Bear track ID

    While hiking in the Rockies/foothills (Alberta) this weekend I stumbled on a bear bed. I spotted this dug out area and, on investigation, realized what it was. A number of partial prints were visible, but nothing definitive. The attached picture shows my size 13 foot beside one of the more well...

    Binocular magnification

    Sitting on the fence about a new pair of binos for a while now. Still not sure, but thought I would ask for opinions.... I have used a 10x bino for many years (Minox), but have always found they are just a little too much to hold steady - particularly when walking/hiking and trying to hold them...

    Looking for new binos

    Through years of use and abuse, I am retiring my old Minox 10x42. Too many scratches, drops and just general wear and tear have got me looking for new. Had them reconditioned a few times, but I think the time has come to let them rest. Looked through lots of posts here, and some info elsewhere...

    Meat Processing Book?

    Hoping to find a book on how to process your own meat. Specifically, on the cuts that come from the various muscle groups. I've done my own processing for a few years, but really don't know which cuts are which. The other day I received an email message from Elk Hunter Magazine about a new book...

    Puffy vest or jacket?

    Having a hard time finding anything to look at, for clothing, where I am at. I need a new jacket - more hiking and fishing than hunting, but would use it as a layer for hunting if it worked. Also would like to add a puffy layer to my system and was considering a vest, but maybe it should be a...

    Using an old fridge

    Started processing my own meat last year. I was considering finding an old fridge to keep any early season meat in to cool and age before processing. As it turns out, a friend of mine had such a fridge and dropped it off. When I opened it I discovered it was pretty ripe - some rust, mold and...

    Grizzly kills an Alberta Sheep Hunter

    This past weekend, a sheep hunter in the Alberta Rockies was killed by a Grizzly. Apparantly a sow with a cub. I haven't heard any definitive information on what happened, but have read that he may have came up on the bear on a kill site, or surprised them at close range. I can't even imagine...

    Soft tanning a bear hide

    Looking for elk this past weekend, for my friend Keith (I was lucky and took one already this fall), and came across a beautiful strawberry blond black bear. Bear came in to 10 yards and Keith got him. I've sent bears to the tanners before, but it is over $300.00 to have one soft tanned. Pretty...

    Early season excitement!

    Bowhunting season finally got here on September 1st. Elk was the first thing on the agenda, so my hunting partner, Keith, and I went to an area I’ve been hunting for a few years. Last year I managed to take a bull in the area, and the pack out was pretty tough because of the distance and the...

    Havalon knife question

    My hunting partner just picked up Havalon Pirantas for both of us. Great looking knife. But, in looking at the blades I'm not certain they will hold up to completely quartering up an animal (they might break?). If you're careful (I know - you should always be careful with sharp knives, and not...

    Alberta floods

    Some of you may be aware, Southern Alberta has experienced floods the likes of which have never been recorded in the area before. Calgary continues to be under a state of emergency (although is recovering), and smaller communities around (the town of High River being the hardest hit) have had...
