My hunting partner was walking up on my moose in the willows. I was above as the lookout because I could see the surrounding area where he could not see more than a few feet in the willows. A bear...

They hog off all kinds of metal, go to http://www.wildwestguns.com/pistolsmithing.html and look at the Wolverine. Here is the page on their web site. ...

I too shoot the 480 and love it. When I can put a 410 grain bullet out at 1200 fps it should stop anything I'm shooting at. I know for a fact that it will make a brown bear stop, stand up and look...

Love them. Have shot caribou with the 180 in an 06 with great results. Same can be said for the 225 in 338. Both opened to about 0.65 inches and the only time I have recovered bullets is when...

I would buy a name brand, Pedersoli, Lyman etc. and practice. You can buy one of the new sabot firing rifles but they are not as accurate and don't have the open-to-the-element ignition system. I...

One thing to remember, Alaska Airlines will keep all meat or fish frozen in a freezer if it gets pulled off a flight or is delayed in route. Jim

You can go to the airline you plan on flying with and get a "Known Shipper" form. This allows you to ship things on that airline. Alaska works well. I ship meat home, or to my butcher, for much...

The bullets are pretty soft, I can score them with my finger nails. Some wheel weights with some fishing cannon balls added in. I am using AA 5744 because it is very difficult to get black powder...

I love them, Own a Pedersoli 45/70 and a Shiloh 50-90 (see my avatar). Shot the largest moose I've ever taken with the Shiloh. A 500 grain bullet at 1400 fps really puts them on the ground in a...

One of my hunting partners here in Alaska uses his 54 with a round ball exclusively and he kills more game than anyone I know. It is deadly on caribou and moose. I've been muzzleloading since the...

Smokepole, we were along the Mulchutna somewhere. We were some 25 miles downstream from Tutna Lake and you're right 2001. Sorry as you get older some facts slip from time-to-time. Jim

Then there was the one on 9/11/00 when we spent the night trying to keep a sow griz and two full grown cubs out of our caribou. Our pick-up was late and we could not figure out why, the weather had...

My hunting partner and I were elbow deep in a moose when two marten sneaked up on us and tried to bluff us off the moose. All they saw was elbows and ********* going for the rifles. Had quite a...

Mike T, what are you using behind the Keith bullets? I've been using Win 231 with pretty good sucess. Jim

I too like the Kimbers. I have two and have not had any problems with them after thousands of rounds. But back to the question. While I like my 1911's I am still a revolver fan. I use a 3 inch...

I agree with oktec60. I have been using Pentax for the past 10 years or so and I believe they are the best for the money out there. I have the 8x32 waterproof ones and they are light, have great...

Ray, I have been doing drop hunts on the Mulchutna heard for the past 20 years or so. PM me and I'll answer any questions you have. I have not hunted out of Kotzebue before but I can give you some...

I've killed several caribou with the 180 accubond in '06 and they worked wonderfully. At 300+ yards it opened to 0.60 by 0.65 inch and penetrated 4 feet of caribou (front to back). The only one I...

Try W231. I am getting good results with both a 200 and 240 grain cast bullet with this powder. Shooting them out of my S&W 696. Getting around 800 to 900 fps. Jim

The Speer 200 grain Gold Dot factory load is easy to shoot and accurate in my S&W 696. It would be very similar to your Bulldog. I've been using W231 in my S&W with both a 200 and 240 grain cast...

Very interesting. Here in Alaska we have plenty of wolves. Contrary to popular openion, they are not the blood-thirsty human-eating animals of mythology. With the exception of rabid wolves it is...

I don't really worry about it. The animals are usually facing me an I pretty much cover all of the pack (no snide comments about me covering half the landscape!). Half the time I'm wearing my red...

Lots of interesting advice here. Keep it simple, I too like the Kimber, own two, but I really like the smaller revolvers. My favorite is the S&W 696, however, it is no longer produced. A 44...

I have used my Pointman on several caribou hunts and it worked wonderfully. No problems getting half of a bull caribou in the pack (my legs are getting to old to carry more than 65 pounds or so). ...

I used one on my Marlin 45/70. Had to do some work on the forarm, it was designed for the 30-30 and I had to remanufacture the front end. Other than that, it works just fine. Jim
