re: the whole vaccine reluctance. there is a documentary, that you can watch on youtube, make up your own mind an inconvenient study this discusses the relative lack of safety measures and studies done on vaccines.

saul, i think you come from an honest place so i will offer a thought. i believe that much of what the left believes comes from the media they consume. i have watched some of the CNN, MSNOW, NBC etc myself to stay appraised on what they put out. they 90+% of the time give slanted or sometimes...

that is a cool rifle!

i am in agreement that the circumstances dictate a lot of what makes hunting a certain species dangerous. is it open or bushy country. have the animals been hunted or pressured. is the animal wounded or unwounded, etc. i too have very little personal experience hunting DG in Africa, so feel a...

i would contact your PH and get a definitive answer. i suspect tho, a 70# or heavier bow with a 800gr (or heavier) arrow would kill any buffalo that ever lived, if shot well and broadside. as noted above, bigger tends to be better.

nice work chuck!

yeah, they should have sent it air cargo. airlines are not gonna send 400# of moose meat as checked baggage. i have shipped lots of meat from anchorage to the lower 48, air cargo is the way. they even freeze it for you.

ehhhhh, i'd sell it and buy a 458 winchester! :ROFLMAO:

looks like you went out to sand point AK!! stuff is pricy out there too!

when guiding brown bears, i typically carry 3 rounds in the magazine, 7 on the butt stock of my rifle, one round in my pocket to slide into the chamber quietly AND my binocular case holds 4 rounds in a side pocket. way more than i am likely to need, but i need to have at least 3 in my rifle...

keep in mind, tom homan declared to any news outlet that would listen "we are after the worst of the worst, but, if sanctuary cities protect criminals, we will catch them and other illegals will be captured as collateral." (maybe not a perfect quote, but close) so, FAFO. by the way, Merrick...

i get it, i just think if i was shooting ONE load, and i knew the drops, i could use either 165 or 180gr quality bullets AND shoot everything you noted, from varmints to moose. i would not change bullet weights, any varmint shot with a 3006 is going to get a dose of overkill.

i don't know, i would be tempted to find a 165gr or 180 bullet in a north fork, or hammer bullet and just find a load all 3 rifles like. maybe i am under thinking it but i am a keep it simple stupid kind of guy.

very cool! congrats on a fine rifle, let us know how it works on game.

"Alaska statutes address the issue and require a guide to shoot if they deem a wounded animal is in danger of escaping" pretty much the job and also, pretty much what i do. i wish those rifles could talk, i would like to hear the stories!
