    Bear spears?

    So, I’ve taken brown bears with a rifle, pistol, and bow. I guess spear is the logical next choice. Anyone here have any spear experience with any hunting? This is a new endeavor and I’m researching it but there’s a lack of good info I can find on quality spears, makes or models out there?

    My new pack.

    Maybe some of you have this model already. I just wanted opinions on what sort of gun bearer systems have worked best for you? As well as rain covers?

    Strongest/windproof one man tent?

    I’ve used mountian hardware pct 1 and serria Designs lightyear with awesome success for about a decade for everything mountian related. The Kodiak goat hunts get some wind that is just unreal. Well over 100mph gusts. Those little tents faired much better than this years north face bastion 4...

    Boy dropped a moose this morning...

    Only in Alaska?! Had a cow tag and five minutes down the road this cow was nice enough to stare at the muzzle flash of a 243 while my boy punched her thru the ribs with a 80gr Barnes vortex. 20 yards. Love moose hunting like this... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
