I really enjoy Big Stick's input. Obviously he knows a lot based on doing a lot. Granted, one has to read critically and dig but the knowledge is there. I learn something from every post.
The guy lives in AK and only hunts blacktail and black bears... and he "does a lot?" BS. He doesn't hunt out of sight of logging roads. Where are the caribou, sheep, goats, moose? That would require work, and that requires more than hauling your fat ass around on an ATV or truck, sniping the low hanging fruit. He certainly does shoot paper a lot, and does know about that. He also runs his mouth a lot, but that's not the same as hunting the highcountry, which is what this thread is about... he's never been on a mountain backpack hunt in his life.
You can bullchit the fans, but you can't bullchit the players...
There's only two options:
1) Troll
2) Mentally Unstable/Defective
I choose to believe #1 because it's fun and mental problems are no laughing matter. He does spend an incredible amount of time on them though, and some of his rifles' paint schemes make me start to lean to #2...
Although I've never been on a mountain backpack hunt in my life so I admittedly am a "stupid [bleep]".
