    New giant on our place? Not sure he looks like his grandpa. We will see in a couple years.

    Anyone ever bought a large piece of land and split it up?

    Seems like you have a pretty good return on investment on your original piece. If it were me I’d buy that nearly two sections and figure to quadruple your money again. We carved off some of ours years ago and have regretted it ever since. Will Rodgers said it best “buy land they ain’t making any...

    Ruger No. 3 quarter rib

    I agree on the 1 inch tubes. I like the 2.5 x8 on my lighter #1s. Had the vx 5 left over from a POS Christianson 6.5 I had. It’s not perfect but I didn’t need to buy another scope :)

    Ruger No. 3 quarter rib

    Asking for a friend; Would that work on a #1 in say a 300 H&H, to allow the scope to move back a little from the traditional mounts; the front ring butts up to the bell on a VX 5…

    Project 2025 and Conservation

    The land was just an empty hay pasture when the house was built. Going on thirty years. There is so much construction in the west. Montana is getting what happened to Oregon 30 years ago. We continue planting trees so we would not see the neighbors we knew were coming. We’ve deer, birds of all...

    Fire season started in a big way

    We got lit up here in Ne Oregon the last few days. Map shows eastern Oregon and just a little bit of Washington. Fire fighters got their hands full. Blue dot on the map is our place. Kinda Smokey around here.

    West coast salmon recovery

    Outstanding! I guided in Bristol bay for 20 years, there were a few days 250,000 sockeye came up the river. I can't begin to imagine the potential numbers the Columbia could produce. I'm certainly excited with the effort on the Columbia.

    Dark Timber Still Hunting

    My favorite elk hunt. That ridge in front of me, about 800 yards is 1500 feet lower than where I’m standing. I’ll work down the main ridge during the day then brake onto one of the fingers and then drop into the timber pockets. Midday I’ll cross the bottom, get on the north facing slope and work...

    4 or 5 days

    Reads as if you’ve done some e scouting, that will help. I prefer long main ridges with lots of finger ridges. The bow hunters have been on them for a month, no virgins, they’ll be looking for feeding areas near cover I would think. Of my 56 seasons elk hunting about 45 have been in the same...

    338 Norma

    I’ve been shooting a 338 Jarrett for 25 years, I’ve stuck with partitions or Accubonds. Taken elk from 30 yards to 501 with the Accubonds and only recovered one bullet. I’m getting 2950fps/250gr Accubonds. I’ve not loaded for the 338 Norma but with similar performance levels I think you’ll find...
