Given the traffic this thread gets Paul should associate some special advertising with it for selling Dobbin's lures. ;0)

Hey nunamiut, somthing you may want to try next year, get your .300 threaded and put a quality muzzle brake on it, I never really thought about them until this year and all I have to say is wow, it cuts recoil and muzzle jump down to nothing, in turn I can spot my own shot at 200yd on up. It makes adjustment a lot faster not having to wait for a spotter to give you a call.

Speaking of dobbins lures, I just got some "skunky Backbreaker" I'm going to try for cats and marten this year, it must be some impressive stuff if it comes packed in dirt to hold the smell down grin

$7.85 gallon at the pump for unlead, and i think $7.50 Gallon for heating oil. Firewood sells for $300.00 a cord. 1 quart Castol oil is 8-9 dollars. 100 pound bottle of propane is $190.00 each. Got it all done beside the bulk unlead fuel for trapping season...

Yikes! My dad said something about that a while back, might be why our wind generator only lasted a couple years.


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

I know of some moose hunters that were up in Holy Cross that paid $4.25 a gallon for unleaded. They were hauling it down from FAI.

Holy Cross is not real moose hunter friendly if you know what I mean..or at least they werent when they kicked everyone off the corp lands back in the early 90s.

they are now in the process of trying to close up the Paridise sanctuary on the Innoko.

Thats a pretty cool sequence of that young eagle Bob.

AKScott, that doesnt sound like a bad idea. I can never call my shots with the .300 at any distance. Muzzle jump is pretty bad with that high caliber.


If it was easy, everybody would be doing it!

Snow conditions are getting better by the day! Not enough snow for snowmachines, too much snow for the argo. The last three days Ive been riding around on the argo and getting stuck with it left and right. Tracks for the tires might be in my sights for next early winter.
I did spot a nice bunch of caribou bulls not too far from town. I got within 25 yards at one point and watched them eat while I was burried in the snow staying as still as possible. I managed to shoot one bull after he spotted my glasses at 30 yards and the rest of the bunch ran off. I followed over the hill and shot 2 more long range with my .300 win mag.


Wheres my bow when I need it the most? At home hanging.

No luck with the ram, here in a week or 2 Im going to go out with the snowmachine, I guess I better order a new set of ski's ahead of time, the rocks really chew them up around here.
