Were they able to tell you how many litters she had?

Whoa, crazy! Did you send the tooth in to get her aged? That is a big old girl!

Figured out how to upload videos! I had been down already and made sure the bear was dead before bringing Eko down, he loves checking out bears, and gets really excited when I come home smelling like a bear when he doesn't come with!

Should have gotten the whole body shot, but I was in a rush to beat a closing gate and didn't think about it hahaha. Thanks guys, photography is another passion of mine that goes hand in hand with hunting. Most times I am more excited on the ride home to edit photos of the animal than the drive...

Went for a drive yesterday with my 9 month pregnant fiance, with grand ol' plans of having a fire, listening to music, cooking food and of course, glassing the valley for bears. We drove to the top of a mountain, throwing rocks off the road (me of course, no heavy lifting for the miss's)...

I take out my Sony a7ii on all hunts from my truck, and on some hikes if I don't have a lot of other gear for these exact moments and to do some landscape photography if conditions are perfect and I feel more like taking photos than actually hunting haha. And I always have a tripod for glassing...

Shooting a bear at first light is luxury, normally I stretch the process of getting them in the freezer over a couple of days, which is very nice for the back, but it was nice getting him done in one day. Did a few lbs of a fennel/anise mixture and a few lbs of a spicy Mexican sausage (cumin...

Well, of course, had you asked me this question before I took the shot, from 60 yards, sitting all majestic on top of the rock bluff next to a giant downed tree I would have confidently told you 300-350. Upon getting up close to him and the pecker pole of a downed tree, and throwing him around...

Went out Monday for first light, glassed a small clear-cut for a bit and then drove down the road a ways and got out to walk a road on the edge of a big clear cut. About 3/4 of the way up the clear-cut I had stopped to do a good once over with my binos when I heard a huff behind me. I looked up...

I just checked that actually, bolt face not etched, a slight ring that was mostly removed by wiping it with a q-tip. I also removed the primers from the cases expecting the one to have carbon along the side of the primer but it was clean. Ahhhh, maybe condensation?? I was cooling my barrel on my...

All new brass so far, I have yet to load any once fired.

I did not, visual inspect, neck size and load has been my go to thus far. There have been a couple of cases where the primer seemed to slip in a lot easier than most and I just tossed them. The ones for this load were all what I would consider normal from the very limited experience I have.

Decided to give 130gr Barnes TTSX a try in my 270 winchester to potentially use on an elk hunt in a couple of weeks, loading them behind h4831 and CCI BR2 primers in new winchester brass. Worked up the load from 55gr to 58gr in one grain increments and from there went in .3gr increments where it...

Vancouver Island, BC. After a good weekend in the bear woods, elk sheds found and a couple of decent bears making the slip on us, we walked around a rock face on the side of road to this bear at 25 yards, frozen. My buddy shouldered his 30/30 and asked if he should shoot. “I don’t know, it looks...
