    Sometimes it's better to be lucky..

    ...than good! Went for a boat ride yesterday, not expecting to see much. Planned on hunting three days next week then hunting the last week of the month. About 11am I decided to head home to get some stuff done around the house. This little bull was just walking up the gravel bar a couple...

    200gr Terminal Ascent out of Tikka 1-11 twist

    I don't reload and my go to 180gr Trophy bonded tips are currently unobtanium. Picked up a couple of boxes of the Terminal Ascent to see how they shoot. Anybody try them out of their 1-11" twist Tikka .300wm?

    My boy got a small bull

    We had to go out a couple weeks early this year due to the low quota. I knew it would make for tough hunting in the area we hunt. Not many animals around, mostly cows with calves. My boy was able to connect with the only bull we saw that was close enough to put a stalk on. Small bull, but...

    First boat ride of the year surprise.

    Took the boys for a boat ride today. Figured we’d catch a few hooligan (Alaskan smelt) and see if there were an critters running around. Well we saw a couple moose, some wolf tracks, but the biggest surprise was cruising in the river. I’ve seen lots of belugas up in the river, but this was my...

    Homemade knives

    Any of you guys into making your own knives? I’m a rookie at it but it’s a fun hobby. I’m just doing stock removal and basic heat treating with carbon steel for now using basic tools. There’s just something about using stuff that you make yourself. Here’s a couple I’ve made during this damn...

    Caribou meat run

    Well my oldest boy and I headed North on Thursday with plans for 4-5 days of hunting. My youngest backed out unfortunately so it was just the two of us. Made the drive up, then a short boat ride. Set up camp that afternoon and went for a walk to see what was up. The first night we saw 15-20 cows...

    Liteoutdoors tipi

    Anybody have experience yet with their Tipi setup? I know their Ti stoves are pretty highly regarded, but their tipi just came out last fall. For $670 you get the plateau 5 tipi and stove hot tent setup which seems like a great deal. I have to assume they wouldn’t put out a bad product but being...

    Deer hunting with my dad

    It had been about 10yrs since I went back to Maine to deer hunt. This year I decided I needed to take my boys back and hunt with my old man again. He's had a rough couple of years and figured I had better do it. Three years ago he was diagnosed with Parkinsons, last year he had shoulder surgery...

    Boot stretching

    I'm pretty sure that after I turned 40 my feet "grew", especially my right one. My Kenetreks fit perfect last year and now my right boot is tight, especially in it's width. I'm wondering if the rubber rand allows for them to be stretched at all. If nothing else I'll bring them to a boot shop...

    My sons first caribou

    Last fall I put my sons name in for a DC485 tag and he drew one. We took the hunters safety course together over the winter and spent even more time at the range. He has hunted with me the last two years but this hunt was going to be just for him. On Sunday we headed left the house around...

    Cabelas Krotos Spotting scope

    Anybody had a chance to look through one? They're on sale right now and the 15x45 looks pretty nice. I'm not sure who makes them but I'd guess it's Vortex, maybe Meopta. Just looking at maybe buying a spotter as I've never had one. I don't rely on them as my kind of hunting they aren't...
