Yes the trailer worked really well. The way that I had it set up I think that 2 guys could stay in there quite comfortably for a couple weeks. I will probably be using it again in the future.

I would pick the lightest rifle. At the end of the day that will make more of a difference that the cartridge. If you can save a pound or 3 it will make for a little easier time climbing the mountains. that is my choice. graylake

My ram was fairly young at 7.5 years. Length was 36" with 15" bases. Not huge by comparison with some of the rams that get taken every year in alberta. I rough scored him in the high 160's Where are the pictures of your ram? Did I miss the thread?

Thanks... It is still a bit of a shock, and thats after 2 months. With the way the weather went this year in the mountains I think I made the right decision. The snow started to leave after my trip and it was easier to get around for about a week to 10 days. After that it started to...

Well I thought I would put up the article that I wrote for our local SCI club newsletter. Since I was using this site for a wealth of information before my hunt. I thought it was only fair to share. Here is a quick picture of my Ram. Hunt Details: Rifle was Remington 700 with a Ron...

Has anybody used one of these new leupold scopes yet? How do they compare to similar priced scopes. I was thinking about getting one of these for my new 300 wsm but then I thought that for the money I would be better off with a nightforce. I am not sure which way to go. I like that the...

I am looking to get a 300 WSM and would like something in a slightly heaver contoured barrel for accuracy. I have not found anything out there so far. Does anybody have any rifle that I am missing. Or do I have to have something built. I am looking for a rifle to be used for sheep and...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will go look at the Leica's

As said above, if you were going to spend the money for a high end spotting scope which way would you go? Both scopes are basically the same price which way to go. Is it personal preferance or is there a difference between these two scopes. Thanks Sid

Thanks for the encouragement/warning. I am already looking for a chance for the 500 mark. But there are starting to be less shot opportunities around the farm this year. That 400 yard dog is #17 since November. They are starting to figure out that the free meal is not such a good idea. And...

Well first off let me say that this site is just a wealth of information. But then you guys and gals already know that. I am a dairy farmer up here in Alberta and do a bit of hunting everyfall when I get the chance. I am just fairly new to all this long range stuff. I have always shot...
