I shot a coyote with a 338 win mag with 250 gr partitions. I knew a shoulder shot would have blown it up so shot him in the lungs. It blew him about 10 ft off the caribou kill he was standing on top of. When I got to it, his mouth was open with a chunk of bou on its tongue. Exit hole was only...

I saw this while hunting deer in Kodiak and was able to get a quick shot off before it disappeared. It’s been at the taxidermist for a long time but hopefully I’ll get it back one of these days.

I love my Benelli’s! I have two M2’s, ultralight and a super nova. I suggest going to you local gun store, throw them all up to your shoulder and pick the me that fits you best. For new it’s the Benelli’s that fit me best so I shoot them best.

I’ve got 3 tikkas now. I sold the superlite I bought for the girlfriend in 30‘06 cuz it kicked harder than my 338’s & 375’s. There are two things I don’t like about them. The bigger calibers in the superlite are less than 6 pounds and kick like hell. I carry 338 win mags and 375 H&Hs and I’d...

I guess I’m going to have to do all the work for ya…do you need me to shoot your elk too! 😂 They’re out there but might need to spend some time with the googler.

I have used the and swear by the bug shirt. It’s the only thing I’ve found where I can take a few hour nap in a swamp and wake up without any bites. https://bug shirt.com/en-us

Gear junkie who has used and/or owned most of the packs mentioned here except for the SO. For lightweight I would choose Stone glacier or Seek Outside. For heavy loads but not as light, nothing bets a Kifaru. The versatility of these packs to pack meat and to use to pack gear is awesome. I also...

I had both mountain house and Peak this year in hunting camp. I would suggest a blind taste test of similar meals (they both do breakfast hash) and see what you like. I wanted to like the Peak but I really thought the MH was better. I’m not that picky of an eater either. I think Backpackers...

That’s why I got rid of mine. I bought it for the girlfriend but after shooting it knew I’d never get her back to the range. I mainly shoot 375 H&H and 338 win mags and the super lite in 30-06 out kicked them all.

I shoot a 338 win mag with federal premium safari 250 gr nosler and have taken moose from 10 to 250 yds. I’ve only shot three in the lungs and it usually drops them in their tracks. The other 20ish we’re head shots and you can guess what that does. I hunt areas with lots of brown bears and all...

I agree with KH_Outdoors. That being said, Zamberlin is my new boot choice. I’ve had Meindl, Lowa, Kenetrex, Crispi, Schnees, etc. I have a narrow heal and a high arch and have finally found a boot that fits my foot. I used them for a 5 day moose hunt pack out. I got back and bought a second...

I was set on a particular shotgun and with a fist full of money I went to my sporting goods store to buy it. For the hell of it, I threw a Benelli M2 up to my shoulder and just kept going back to it after trying to convince myself the shotgun I had wanted before I walked in was the one I should...

I use a suppressed S&W M&P 22 compact. Gun is 15.3 oz and makes a very light setup. It’s lightweight, accurate and quiet.

I hunt where there a lot of brown bears so with 375’s and 338’s in the quiver it’s been a safe queen. It’s a nice gun and would be perfect for that area.
