Big Swede, do you ever tree them brown bears or are they all taken on the ground?

It seems that the smaller bears often will run fast and hard rather than take to the trees but some times they will take to the trees when the hounds are rather aggresiv. A female with cubbs will often put up her ...

Big Swede,
Cool vid.

Wondering........what`s the rationale behind the law of being allowed to run a maximum of two dogs? Fair chase?? Or?

I think it started with this video( m )same dogs and same hunters but two years before. Then we could use more dogs and it was a succse for the people that ...

Hi
Look at this trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgSnZOR4_sI

In Sweden we can not (the law) use more then two dogs, and its on brown bears. Its a stupid law but we have to accept it and do the best of it!

Thanks Big Swede

How does one take a roof mount antenna through rough terrain? In my opinion if there is roads then it isn't ruff terrain. I started at the base of one mountain ran half way up then went along the side of the mountain before going over the top, down the other side 6 miles across a valley and almost ...

15 miles plus sounds but was it summit to summit? Last record with garmin and cableantennas was 10 km in rough terrain.

Hi

New distance record in rough terrain with the garmin roof mount antenna is 14 km = 8.75 miles

I have read the previous post that Buddy wrote and found it helpful. I as well am looking for a new sled. I run very steep and rocky terrain in Montana. At the same time I also run logging roads that may not have much snow at times. I am leaning towards getting a Polaris RMK or Ski-Doo Summit. I am ...

I found some straight SMA connectors for rg58 at walker's electronic in Alb.. When I stripped the woven wire off the rg58 cable, I got better reception than the factory antenna. Still havn't found the 90 degree connectors, but what I have will work untill I find the 90 degree connectors, then I ...

Sled question........

I've got an '87 AC Jag 340 sled [ fan cooled ] that I'm getting ready for hunting this coming winter. I plan on hunting on the logging roads that have typical grades that trucks can negotiate.

Along with my hunting pack and a few tools, I'll have my two dogs and dog crate ...

Cowboyvon,

Thanks for the info. I called them and they said that they do not have the 90 degree connector, but they do have the straight ones. They also gave me the names of some other stores that might have the 90 degree connectors. Next time I go to Albuquerque I will go by and see if what they ...

I took Big Swede's 49 cm and divided by 2.54cm/inch and got 19.29 inches, which is the length I tried. I don't know if they are that touchy about exact length, but I will cut off an inch and try it.

I found a couple of connectors on ebay that looked right, but when they got here they were the ...

Can anyone on here tell me where I can find an RG58 connector. I went to every electronics store I could find in Santa Fe today, and when I asked for an RG58 connector, they all said that they had never heard of such a thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds fine to me I hope you make a good deal! for both of us-

Take care/BIG SWEDE

I think that the astro is one of the best things to hit hound hunting for a while. The only thing that I found out is wrong with it is the antenna. The first time I used it, the antenna broke off at the first fence the dog went under. Several other guys I've heard about had the same problem. I ...
