I have been waiting for our last deer season to close so I could get my dogs out. It’s been a pretty good start. The snow hasn’t been the best,dry and powdery, but the dogs did their job. I heard two groups reply to my howling and it was game on. I walked two hounds in they found the track after...
I’ve only ever seen 7 grizzly bears while hunting. The closest one was a little over 300 yards and I was lucky enough to harvest it. My question is how close do let one get to you before you take action? I’m not talking about a charging bear, but one that doesn’t ignore you or leave when you...
I decided to take a couple hounds out for some exercise this morning and had a great time.It was a little chilly,about zero when we started.We cut some tracks going up onto a big round top and no tracks coming out.Decided one dog was enough to get things started and it took a little longer than...
I’m sitting on 18 points. I don’t think I’ll ever catch 61. So I was thinking of burning those points,maybe 76 ? Im not really sure what I’m going to do,but I’d like to hear the opinions of some Hunt Talkers. My thoughts are to use them this year,cause next year I’ll be going back to Alaska.
He's the only one that made it. Parvo got the rest. He was born on my wedding anniversary, and my wife loves him.The other pic are of the dam and sire. The male is center and she is on the left standing in front of me.
Heading to Alaska on September 18 with a grizzly and a black bear tag in hand. I got about 2 weeks to enjoy all Alaska has to offer. With any luck I’ll have something to post when I get back.
Heading to Alaska in September and I was looking for some input from some other shooters. I currently have been loading the Winchester silvertip in 180 grain for elk and they do a great job. I think they would work nicely on bears and I have a couple hundred left. I also have a load worked up...
I just lost my best friend this morning,13 year’s and she was family. My heart is broken and it’s a feeling I never get used to. A good dog is not a pet,they are family and when they leave they take a little bit of you with them. I know the pain will pass it always does,but that don’t make it...
I’m new to this board,and I just wanted to say hello. I live in the middle of PA right above the Susquehanna River. I try to get out west and hunt at least once a year. I do a lot hunting in my home state,deer bears and coyotes mostly. I run a pack of walker hounds and do fairly well on coyotes...
