    Big Lake

    How were the water levels? I was planning a fly fish trip for a weeks from now but heard the water was real low. Were you fishing upper or lower black?

    Alaska Fishing Trip

    I had the opportunity to go to the kenai peninsula for the last week and a half to go fishing and had the time of my life. I experienced some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen and had a he!! of a time fishin. I caught sockeye and king salmon, halibut, rockfish, cod, and some dolly varden trout. I saw plenty of moose and bald eagles and saw a blond grizzly sow with her three cubs fishin for sockeye. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience and would highly recommend it! trim.F6882F73-0C19-4B23-B5DD-6F4C1983D3C6.MOV

    Dry Ice in a yeti/rtic cooler?

    I usually just get a few ice blocks for most of my hunts tho

    Dry Ice in a yeti/rtic cooler?

    I have used dry ice before and it works good. Maybe a little too good. I had water bottles that froze solid
  9. Weird. Never happened to me or heard of it happening to anyone

    Would you shoot this bull?

    Depends on the hunt and unit. Late hunt I'd kill him and a rut hunt maybe

    Do you really need a truck to hunt...

    Jeeps are good, but if you want a truck with off road capabilities, you get a Dodge Power Wagon. Picture a 3/4 ton truck with Jeep Rubicon qualities. It comes from the factory with full skid plates (not cheap Ford type), 4.56 gearing, selectable lockers front and rear, a 16,500 lb winch 1 ton axle shafts and frame with additional ladder bracing. I'm not entirely opposed to getting a dodge either it's just I've heard their tranny's suck

    it was stuck because it was a gutless ford though, not because it was

  18. I shoot barnes ttsx out of my .30-06 and they are very accurate. like firstcoueswas80 said, these bullets act heavier than they are so you could shoot 168s and get a little more velocity than 180s

    Saved an Elk's Life

    Was turkey hunting this weekend when I heard this yote barking a few hundred yds away so I started blaring on my jackrabbit call and within a minute or two a cow came hauling a$$ out of the trees with this dog chasing him 50 yds behind. He stopped 100 yds from me and I dumped him

    Turkey Set up for Youth

    I've used my Mossberg 500 in 20ga shootin 3" #5 shot loads since I started turkey hunting at 15 and it's been effective for me. I've put 3 birds on the ground in 3 years hunting with it

    Justifying and Supporting Hunting

    Unless they are a vegetarian, they have no argument whatsoever. If they are, I tell em that hunters keep populations in check
