We are planning a long driving trip to Alaska this summer. My Dad worked on the Alcan Highway prior to enlisting for WW2. At any rate, seems like "those in the know" recommend that we get some tall fishermen waterproof boots. Not sure if I agree, but if I change my mind, what boot brand and model would you recommend. I trust the recommendations of this group, Thanks ..read more

Never killed anything big with a spear, but have taken a few medium/smaller animals with them. I plan on crossing the 'bama border next year or the following to give this little trick a try on some real game. My YouTube feed is always clogged up with all sorts of hunting/survival content and a while a video by Tim Wells popped up showing a new spear design he's been hunting with called the "sparrow".

Thinking of going after them with a BB gun to see if they get the hint. This works well with bears. Also thought of shotgun rubber bullets, but I don’t want to spend that much money on a coyote. If the BB gun doesn’t work, I have other lethal options. Anything else other than BB’s? They have to go one way or another ..read more

Now that I'm back by Lake Superior, it will soon be bear season... Tags are alotted by a draw system per region.. You can hunt over bait.. Of course there are a lot of rules about baiting.. However hunting over bait and with dogs is the best thing that can happen to bears for a lot of reasons.. Don't get me started on that part of the science and biology.... Also I'm sure it has happened, but I never heard of anyone, or very few people harvesting a ...sour... bear... That is one... Read more ..read more
