Nice bears and a very good write-up. Congrats to you and your dad. If Florida would ever reopen a bear season, it would be the same here. Yes, there are 400 lb. bears in Florida although their hair isn't as thick.

In my 56 years of marriage I have found that pandering to your wife's wishes is the best course to take. However, I would still do it in a "hunting country", not Kenya, so that you could possibly hunt a couple of animals especially if the guide (and NOT you) suggests it. Women tend to listen to...

I'm 80 and still hunt, however, not everyone is as lucky as me. Auto crashes and other accidents when you're young come back to haunt you when you're old. And there are debilitating diseases that knock you down too. Two months ago my dry macular degeneration 'graduated' up to the wet form which...

Do nail gun cartridges use black powder? Are they corrosive like .22 blank acorn caps?

I feel sorry for you. Does Nevada allow you tags for your own property if it's large enough or doesn't private land get one any privileges over public land?

I've killed about 22-25 hogs (I never kept track) but I always hated to clean the non-stinky ones because they were so hard to skin. However, of the hogs I've cleaned (butchered), only one had any fat at all and that was a chubby gilt that had about 1/6th the fat that this video shows. I still...

I always preferred hunting in Wyoming compared to the surrounding states. Back then if you drew a tag, you would most-likely get what you were after. I never struck out in Wyoming when I had a tag in my pocket. That included deer, antelope, elk, and moose. Good luck on your hunt.

I carry a sidearm in a crossdraw holster on my weak side. Otherwise, the rifle, bow, or crossbow hit against it when walking especially with a rifle slung on my shoulder. It works well too when riding a horse out west. When pistol hunting I also carry it this way. That way it doesn't jab me...

If the simple things don't work, Jackrabbit's suggestion is definitely the answer. I over-torqued a spark plug in an aluminum head. A larger tap and spark plug worked like a charm.

I've shot blue grouse with a .38 Colt Detective Special and killed a cottontail with a Ruger Old Army ..... But this is all you really need for small game: Ruger Standard .22

If no bears are bothering your feeders, you are extremely lucky. The only way I can keep them from destroying my feeders is to put a 5 gallon feeder on a cable suspended between 2 trees or tall posts. However, they still come in, eat all the corn on the ground, and keep any deer from coming in.

A bikini?? It wouldn't warm up much up there in that cold water.

I killed this one with a shotgun while duck hunting in a swamp. I was straddling a submerged beaver run when he swam through my legs. He scared the snot out of me. He weighed just short of 50 lbs. The cleaned skull shows the orange teeth.

Good-looking mount. It's hard to find a good bird taxidermist. It looks like you lucked out.

I can't spot the 4th caribou. Nice getting the 4-yo out hunting already. :thumbup:
