    Rinella's Bear Adventure on Afognak Island

    I imagine a lot of you guys and gals listen to The Meateater Podcast, but just in case you don't, this latest two part series was a doozy. http://www.themeateater.com/podcasts/ep-086-the-meat-tree-part-1/ http://www.themeateater.com/podcasts/ep-087-the-meat-tree-part-2/ All kinds of thoughts...

    Smart Phone versus dedicated GPS

    I've always just used my phone with pre-downloaded maps and airplane mode switched on. Never had a problem. Battery usually lasts 3-5 days of intermittent use, add on a lightweight external battery and you can easily stretch to 10 days or more as needed. Paper maps and compass as a back up. I...

    Breakfast anyone ?

    Me too please. Exactly this. On some days, if I'm feeling sassy and have nowhere to be immediately, I'll have one of those Mountain House scramblers rolled up in a tortilla with some hot sauce.

    Griz Hunt Banned in BC

    You know things are bad when misty-eyed bunny huggers are listened to before clear-headed scientists. Sadly facts don't sell as well as emotion. Wolves are next.

    British Columbia bans Grizzly "Trophy Hunting"

    You can bet that wolves are next. I have already seen chatter to that effect. Now instead of people paying into the pot for wildlife management, they will need to take money out of general revenue for the purpose. In a grizzly population of >15,000 where only ~250 are taken each year. But it...

    British Columbia bans Grizzly "Trophy Hunting"

    Idiocy. Idiocy and plain old pandering to ignorant voters with cuddly bear calendars on their walls who have never set foot in the woods in their life. So frustrating.

    Chasing a Moose in the Northern Saskatchewan Forest

    Damn those are awesome tips, thank you!! I have a couple of spots tentatively marked out but I will go back to the map with this advice in mind. Hey Sask Hunter—good to see a fellow stubble-jumper on here! I've been drawn zone 64 for either-sex moose and Greenwater Lake Provincial Park for...

    Sounds advice for a sound night's sleep!

    Merino Wool

    I've always used the plain black icebreaker base layers and I love them. No experience with First Lite but I've seen them well recommended here (in this thread!) and elsewhere on the web plenty of times. Probably you can't go wrong with any of the usual suspects, so I would just keep an eye out...

    Kuiu

    I can't seem to find the link on the Canadian version of the site… is it US only? Bummer…

    Sleeping bag decision help

    As has been said, bags are pretty personal. Some folks sleep hot, some sleep cold, the only way to find out is to buy and try! Generally speaking though I think a 15° or 20° bag is a good all-rounder if you're not doing any winter camping. If you are feeling adventurous I would recommend a...

    Chasing a Moose in the Northern Saskatchewan Forest

    Great tips and thanks for the link, AlaskaHunter! Good idea with putting the lake downwind, as well. Definitely wouldn't have thought of that… So if you were me would you stake out a moosey-looking spot downwind of a lake and call there a couple of days? How long would you go before moving on...

    Looking for new bino harness need suggestion!

    I have the Kuiu harness and it is a pretty slick piece of kit. Low profile, lightweight, outside pockets (a bit snug at first but they work in), and it holds snug, doesn't bounce, can be opened and closed with one hand. Love it. They have a new, matching rangefinder pouch now which clips to the...

    Chasing a Moose in the Northern Saskatchewan Forest

    Thanks for the tips, Sneakypete! Been definitely watching my fill of calling videos on YouTube. How long would you recommend calling from the same spot before moving to another? A morning, a couple of days? I'm looking to get as much of an edge as I can!

    Chasing a Moose in the Northern Saskatchewan Forest

    Hi all, So I'm a new hunter and will be heading out this fall for the first time (other than pass shooting snow geese here and there in the spring, but I don't count that!). My plan was to put in for elk, muleys, and moose in order to move up into the priority pool for the next few years...

    Hello from Saskatchewan!

    Hi there! New poster, new reader, new hunter, new everything! I've been drawn here in Saskatchewan for Moose and Elk and plan on leaning heavily on the wisdom here as I get ready for October. I look forward to participating here and—hopefully—posting about some success this fall :D
