    Fall black bears

    Hunting bears in northern Alberta right now. Our group of 4 have 3 in the salt after a day and a half of hunting. A small 150-160 lb sow and two boars. One went 395 and the other is 265. Sighting bears like crazy. 5 more hunt days to finish out our hunt. Two bear area.

    bringing meat back from greenland

    I’m surprised. I killed a musk ox on Nunivak Island in 23 and it was one of the most tender, delicious meats I’ve ever eaten. Hunt can’t much but the table fare was fantastic

    My scope mounting routine

    Jay, on my Dakota Traveler 416 Rigby with a 338 Lapua barrel, I had the same issue with having to raise the ring height to clear the rib with the scope bell. On my 338 LP barrel, the raised rib was only secured with two screws. I removed it and installed plugs in the holes. Kept it clean and I...

    Recommendations for elephant skin tanning

    On my return from Zim last December, in the airport in Bulawayo, I met the gentleman who runs the commercial tannery there. He had met with Vincent at Collets shortly after I was there. He told me he would be tanning my elephant panels as he does all Collets elephant work. His facility also does...

    Which would you prefer- 416 or 404

    Get experience first? Or, hunt dangerous game right away?

    I guess I did a combo of both. I booked a plains game hunt in the EC for March of '24, but before I finalized travel arrangements, I decided as long as I was there, I may as well hunt more. So I found a discounted two cow buffalo hunt in Limpopo. Flew from EC to Limpopo and had a second great...
