Yes it is a diy stool. I always carry it with me. In my videos there's a short video on how I made it. Thnx for watching!

@@GrizzlyCountryI checked out the diy stool video, going to build one after seeing the offhand shooting rest feature, Thanks and good luck with the WT rut hunt. We hunt similar terrain in 326 and surrounding zones.

Yessir, there's a LOT of bears and wolves to fend off.

I've watched a few videos now where guys are getting 2500-2600fps with 250gr bullets. I'll have to take another look at my handloading manuals, see what I could. I have to work with the powders I have on hand though.

@@GrizzlyCountry Check out the Nosler on line manual. Very useful. I have shot their max 35 Whelen load for 250 grain in two rifles with no signs of excessive pressure.

@@LonePrairieguy Thnx for the info bud, I'll check that out for sure!

Still playing with the Panasonic Lumix. I bought a Canon Vixia but haven't had time to play with it yet. I'm hoping to start testing, learning the features of it, in time for the deer hunt in November.

Yes there is an Antlered Moose early season draw, limited number of licenses.

Very easy to make. You just need an empty metal can, mine happens to be an OLD (like 30 years old) tomato juice can. But any empty tin can could work, and depending on the size you can get very different tones from it. Just punch a small hole in one end big enough for a shoe lace to fit through. Knot the end of the string, feed it through the hole. I put the tape on it to prevent glare from the sun. And I always carry a small bottle of water to wet the string.

@@GrizzlyCountry thats awesome, thanks! I wasnt sure if it was a braided cord or something to cause more vibration, ill have to give it a shot. Congrats again on the moose! Cheers

@@OmniscientVideo Thnx buddy, ya mine is a lace for a hockey skate. 🙂

Thnx Dmytro!

Ain't that the truth!

Thnx George hope you liked the video!

Yessir I've been very blessed. Thnx for the comments!

@@GrizzlyCountry this year I have a tag in a zone that is archery until November 1. We were out last week, but they didn’t seem to be calling much early in the week and I didn’t end up getting one. I’ve seen some good bulls in there in the last few years, so hopefully I can get one of those with the rifle. If not then it’ll be a nice little meat bull.

@@randytanyahermann2268 Randy are you in Alberta?

@@GrizzlyCountry Yes. I live about an hour and a half from you. (I saw the sign at the gun range in your video and I assume that’s where you live.)

@@randytanyahermann2268 Ya I'm in Whitecourt. Thing with the rut is, once bulls get with cows they aren't likely to leave a cow to come to you. That's when moving slowly through an area bull grunting and raking cab be effective, cuz if there's a bull with a cow he's not going to like being challenged by you grunting/raking at him.

Thnx Otto!

Thnx Big D!

Good to see you're watching my friend!

@@GrizzlyCountryNow I'm waiting for "What I do" to come back, then things will be back to normal. My 4th and 5th favorite Canadian RUclipsrs. The Beasley brothers occupie the top 3 spots.

@@FinsandFur-y7c Haha, I'm sure you'll either see elk video or trapping season kickoff very soon.

@@FinsandFur-y7c Hey brother, I get that you like the Beasley Bros, I watch their shows all the time too. But understand that they are funded, sponsored, every single episode you see, they are guided by a professional guide, with pro cameramen filming everything too. I'll let you know something. 'What I Do' has more outdoor skill and knowledge in one finger, than all the Beasley Bros combined. 'What I Do': professional logger, professional hunting guide, and the single best trapping knowledge and content that you'll ever see on RUclips. He's got some pretty decent hunting vids also, and all self-filmed. I tell him he's "The last real man." I don't get how he's not #1 on your list. 🙂

Thnx Levi!

Thnx for that!

Which year? I put together this video in Sep 2023. My hunt got cut short due to family situation. As to the different stories and calling sequences, those occurred different years, the one with the 2 bulls at 5 yards was probably about 1983 or 83. Listening to the cow calling solo for hours would have been about 1986? Calling the cow by breaking the dry spruce, same late 80's. Calling beside the cow that then lead me cross country, that was around 1989? Hope I didn't miss any.

Thanks bud

Thanks Mark

Thanks for the reply. Truth is I've never really played with COAL, I keep it simple and stick to basic factory COAL and just tweak powder. And you're correct I never saw signs of pressure.

Well based on the info you just provided I'd say you are pretty advanced in your knowledge of bullets. Which is about the best starting point. I will tell you though, I load for hunting and NOT extreme accuracy.I t sounds like you are pursuing a different level of accuracy than I attempt. As to manuals,,get as many as you can. I've got Sierra, Hodgdons, Hornady, Nosler, Lyman, Lee and each of those in older versions as well as more updated publications. I always start by referencing every manual I've got, from there I pick a starting load generally pretty mild and the Chrony tells me what to do next, as far as velocities, and adding powder. I don't mix powders. I will only work with one powder and let velocities and groups tell me if it's going to work. Maybe I get lucky and find the perfect load. If not then I'd try the next powder. And sometimes a bullet will fool you. Nosler Ballistic Tip is supposed to be a fabulous bullet, capable of outstanding accuracy. But I tried to develope a load with it, in my old M700 Remington, and I couldn't get that bullet to shoot, no matter how many powders I tried. It was spraying the target! I went back to my old faithful el-cheapo Hornady BTSP and the group immediately droped, which for me was a 5 shot group ~1" across. Happy shooting bud.

Cool, thnx for watching Paul. So you in a year or 2 when we are back in Ontario.

See you in a few years my friend.

Hey buddy it's nice to see you subsxcribe, thanks for that! Excalibur customer service can't be beat, I bet they'll get you fixed right up. Maybe give them a call on the phone? They were great with me when I did, even when they (and myself) knew that I had screwed up and damaged my own crossbow.

@@GrizzlyCountry Yes sir, i wrote and called them and spoke customer service who sent out a whole new unit like u received today ;) That customer service is the best. Iam Excaibur for life! Again, your video gave me the confidence to not hesitate and speak to them despite of what happened.

@@tahoe829 That's awesome buddy!

I'm doing great buddy thanks for asking. And What I Do is also just fine, talked to him the other day. I've been busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest, I've barely done a video since Nov. The wife and I are on the road, doing a cross-Canada tour going right to Newfoundland, and we won't get back to Alberta until Sept? As soon as I'm back home I'm gonna be going out after Elk and Moose in Sept-Oct, then Whitetails in Nov, and I can't wait! Gonna be like 10 thousand miles on the trip by the end.

@@GrizzlyCountry Been pretty busy on my end. I moved from Montana back to Michigan this spring (don't ask me why). After living in Montana for 31 years, the beautiful landscape is the same, but society and culture is not. But I am not going to go there on that subject. Anyway, after 31 years applying for a special elk tag, I accumulated a pile of preference points. So, you can guess what happened. Once I sold my house and was waiting for closing date, the mailed should up one day and I drew that hard-to-get tag in the Missouri Breaks, but now I have to go back to Montana to go and try to fill my elk tag. So now I am getting ready for that. Good luck and safe trails. Eagerly waiting for videos from you and "What I do".

@@FinsandFur-y7c Awesome bud, sounds great! The area where I hunt, elk are starting to move into there, and there's some decent bulls, but not a lot of elk yet. But at least there's a chance. And I've got a moose honeyhole. I'm gonna be calling moose and I'll hang a tag on one for sure. I won't be too fussy, in a perfect world a 3-4 yr old bull, nice tender meat. If a real big old moose comes in then I guess I'll play it by ear. The wife is tired of me shooting big old moose. Haha.

@@FinsandFur-y7c Getting back to your elk draw, that's awesome bud. Hopefully you'll have a safe hunt and tag the bull of a lifetime! Isn't that just the way though, eh? Just when you're set to move on and in comes the tag you've wanted forever. I spent 10 years putting in for Trophy Antelope here in Alberta, finally get it and just when I was all set to leave the wife took sick, so I had to stay at home to help her with the house and the kids. Burned the damn tag.

It's all from trees that have been blown over by high winds, and I only take nice dry timber.

I'm not sure bud?

Thanks bud. Ya the buckles are great! And for the record I trimmed the gunrack down from holding 4 guns to 3 today. The way I did it you would think it had been built with just 3 rifle positions.

I actually buy el cheapo batteries from Walmart. 'Best Value' name on them, blue and silver. I just use the preset video length on my Stealth Cams, they are the G42NG cams. I've also got some Covert MP-32's that I am going to start using this year. And some Tasco's (re-branded as Primos), which I'm going to try out. Great reviews on them. And I've also got a bunch of older Bushnell Trophy cams, which I have always liked. I believe the most important thing for good results is proper camera placement. If your camera is too close then it might not trigger. If you have to, create obstacles to force game to detour by your cams. I've built fences just using fallen tree branches and stuff like that. It can really help to frame your game in the camera.

@@GrizzlyCountry yeah that was my problem in the past as I would set them about waist high and every little pine branch or grass would trigger the camera. Thanks for the info. I love running trail cameras, because you never know what's going to show up on them.

@@FinsandFur-y7c Ya so I didn't mention it in my other post, but I position my cameras up about as high as I can reach. Like 7' or 8' high. Because I place my cameras as high as I do, I make small angle blocks out of 2"x4"'s. Because of all the bears here, I also always use metal security boxes. Screw the angle block onto the tree, mount the security boxes on those, drop the cameras in them. So the cameras tilt down toward the game trail I'm hoping to catch pics of. I'm itching to get out and start hanging my cameras!

@@GrizzlyCountry was that you that was with the "what I do" RUclips channel guy trapping beavers?

@@FinsandFur-y7c Ya

Thanks buddy, I've got a few chainsaw mill videos you might like.

Thanks. After this video I went back and reset all the jets, and the engine runs smooth now.

I appreciate that. Lots of tweaking with seasonings and temperature while learning how to make good smoked product.
