You should get a new tape measure uber if you think that cutty is 17"

me 3

Oh, my mistake..I guess he was just using that pistol to shoot fish!

Just got my latest issue of flyfusion...interesting picture on the front. I don't see any bear spray..

I dont have a link, but if you read the book "bear attacks their causes and avoidances" you will read about plenty of instances where problem bears repeatedly come back to camp and occasionally even follow people as they are trying to get out of camp. Obviously this is worst case scenario and 99% of the time you can spook them away with bear bangers or a warning shot. The 1% of habituated problem bears is why I carry my bear gun. The one other problem nobody has mentioned with bear spray is its effectiveness in the wind. Clearly everybody here knows about how windy it can be when fishing southern creeks. Since most bears will take off when they smell you, what happens when you come around a corner downwind of a bear and it does not smell you at all or hear you because of the good old southern AB winds. You are downwind....how do you plan on shooting bear spray into the wind?

I am just curious what you guys do for bear spray when going on multi day trips. There is plenty of documented cases where bears have hung around a camp for multiple days on end(despite being sprayed, shot at, etc) You are 15-20 km away from your vehicle and you shoot off your can of bear spray...what do you do when the bear comes back? Better start prayin! I know on humans bear spray is not as effective once it has been used multiple times. If a problem bear has been sprayed before that bear spray might not be that useful after all. I do know that hot lead is just as effective every time.

Seems like a fairly misleading title...

Taking a brain shot is a very risky shot. Best to shoot for the shoulders to stop the bear in its tracks.

why does it say new zealand cutthroat and then description talks about browns?

And a bulletproof vest

Off topic, but I have never heard of a white out of pine until now. Have you caught them out of there yourself?

Ya, and 99% of them are on trailers because they are not street legal. They aren't rolling around lynnwood ridge.

Can we expect some samples of your little finned friend aka. brook trout?

Cool, never heard of that before. 1.4m translates to 55 inches, I just went and measured a ram 1500 with 6" lift/35" tires (very standard lift/tire combo) and it is 43 inches to the centre of the headlights. To be another 12 inches taller, that would be one ridiculous sized truck. Judging from that, they can't really enforce any laws on lifted trucks except for monster trucks. Avalanche have you seen many monster trucks rolling around lynnwood ridge? lol
