Nice looking setup Danny.

hmmm angus, aren't those the funny little black cows that are slightly bigger than a dog....

(angus breeders used to get a hard time around here when I was a kid)

I never really look at winter as either hard or easy it's just winter. I try not and complain if it gets nasty for longer periods of time, as after all it is my choice to stay where I am. We do get nasty nasty cold and lots of snow (strangely not as much as we used to 30 years ago), but we also get ...

I have been through Beach a couple of times, I like the area, lots of room for people, kinda like up here.

I've still got my competition 303 here complete with parker hale target peep sights. I used to shoot DCRA matches here in Canada. Start at 600 yards and go out to 1000. At that time they were all shot with 303's in their own class. The 303 is a very underrated cartridge usually by those who haven't ...

I only know two of the ranger's names. As you look at the photo, kneeling on the left is Light Townsend, later captain of co. C, and next to him kneeling is Capt. Will Wright. The photo was taken in 1925 in Laredo, Texas. At this time it was Captain Wright's Co. D. This is about the time all Texas ...

I still own 7 or 8 of them. Growing up here every house had at least one cut down 303 behind the door. First rifle I ever shot or owned was one. I've shot tons of deer, moose and elk with one. The old 200 grain loads were great for moose but the 180's work just fine. I use cast loads or FMJ for coyo...

sorrels, kodiaks or my issued military mukluks (they are the best and I wear those the most)

living here on the canadian prairies I would love to know what your definition of a hard winter is :mrgreen: Having moved south to the Carolinas from Michigan about 15 years ago, the difference in preparation is pretty amazing. Here, after the final cutting of the lawn - oh, around mid-December, I ...

Huntermb, here all along I thought the Canadian prairie was a banana belt :shock: I can always tell if a prairie guy is around they all park their rigs headed into the wind :lol: danny Ain't that the truth, and I know it's cold when I do the zipper on the parka all the way up :D kimwcook what part ...

Geez nice group Kirk. I may have to give those a try in my old 86

Huntermb

I don't think we also have the same hunter density in alot of our areas (at least out west here and in the north) that some of you southern folks experience. I have spent weeks up in the bush and never seen another human other than my hunting partner.

Huntermb

Bear hunting is one of my favourite things to do

Isn't that the truth, works so much easier and slicker, and in half the time. I figure if I can split the pelvis on a moose then I might have a chance on a bears skull in a pinch.

Huntermb

The bear population here in Manitoba is on the rise too. lots of them around and seeing lots of the different colour phases as well. Hope you get some good pics on your trail cam!

not sure there is any blue left on this one old girl...

You guys would have to adjust to living up here

You can't carry the majority of pistols out in the bush with you legally, which is truely sad on our governments part. So we learn to make do with rifle and knife up here. I also carry a hawk with me as well.

Huntermb

For canadians on here, don't forget to check the laws as to where chains are legal for use and where they aren't. They aren't allowed on all roads.

Huntermb

Thanks guys I'll try that!

What do you guys use to clean up an old levergun? What do you use or how do you get rid of the surface rust etc that some of these old girls end up with on them?

Huntermb

I was merely stating what my experience growing up in the north with wolves around was. They do take elk and deer and moose and the odd cow and horse up here as well, they are pedators. I whole heartedly agree that if something is a threat to a human then it needs to be dealt with. I just don't buy ...

It's funny but from having spent my entire life living and hunting in "wolf infested" areas, I have yet to ever have been threatened or stalked by a wolf or have talked to anyone who has. Wolves will usually go out of thier way to avoid a human. Some wolves walk on 2 legs... yeah but they...

In my province (Quebec) 4 snow tires are mandatory. Not mud and snow but tires designed for snow. They are fairly aggresive and made of a softer rubber compound that adheres better in cold weather. We can also use studs in the snow tires. With a 2wd weight over the wheels makes all the difference b...

my brother just got a speeding ticket here in Manitoba. He was doing 125KMH in a 100KMH zone. Fair enough. The ticket was 390 plus costs. never ceases to amaze me

I've come to the conclusion that we don't have a Criminal Justice System here in Canada we have a "Criminal's Justice System". Don't do anything to protect yourself or your family or your property or do anything to the poor poor misunderstood bad man and you will be fine. Maybe heads on a ...

I've used vaseline for years and never had a problem. I work it into a RCBS lube pad and then roll the cases on it. I've never had a problem, you just really have to remember with it though that less is more.

I've done a fair amount on one of the canadian forums and it is in someways a leap of faith, but the transactions have alwasy been good. usually we ship at the same time then exchange shipping numbers etc. It has always been with people who have good ratings or are well known on the forum.

is the guy on the right in the first picture missing part of the grip of his pistola?

I use mostly federal or winchester bulk or american eagle. I've had to just many problems with the remington stuff over the years through tons of different 22's so I know it isn't just one or two rifles not liking it.

I haven't been up there since the mid 80's. My uncle and one of his old friends had trapped up there in the 30's so a few of us decided to check it out, it was a very good trip. I make it over to Moosmin fairly regular. There used to be a great gun shop there but it is gone now.

is there a chance you have a set of 26MM rings instead of 1 inchers? They were fairly common on european rifles.

Zion park in southern Utah is fantastic. If you get a chance stop by and see the Mountain Meadows Massacre memorial too.

The say they can't ship the brass north either. I found some here in Canada but for $70 for 20 brass I will get some shipped to just south of the line and go down and bring them back. Apparantly that is perfectly fine to do that.
