    Merry Christmas

    Looks like Santa forgot me this year ... again. Next year I'll set up for some moonlight sporting clays practice ... from my chimney station. Better watch out, I'll make him cry ... fat bastard! Humbug. Merry Christmas to all.

    Yet Another Medical Issue

    How's your weight? Gotta get it down if you have back issues. I've had arthritis in my back and neck for years and still relatively pain free. And very active. But no gut!

    A little humour for your day

    Damn it! Cheating on me again!

    2023 Ended on a High Note!

    If not too late, have the taxidermist do a euro for you till he's ready to do the shoulder mount. That way you have something to look at while you wait. He should be agreeable. If he's cut the horns off, have a cap mount done with pleated velvet (see below). He can do that up quick and then...

    2023 Ended on a High Note!

    Very nice! I missed one like that first day hunting in Montana this year. So wide it was freaky. Yours is much taller. Very nice shape.

    Trigger pull

    I have never used a scale. I set the pull weight to where it feels good ... then take my hands out of pockets till I can find a dark room. This method does not stop jerking.

    Self imposed weapon restrictions for hunting?

    Glad it worked for you. I hunt everything with Dad's gun ... every year since he gave it to me in 1964. By then he had built a second Springfield 03A3 for himself. It shot five animals this year: impala, springbuck, gemsbuck, blue wildebeest, and muley buck.

    Thumper gun project

    Thanks. I had problems with RWS brass being short in length and inconsistent rim thickness. Hornady brass is working fine.

    What problems did you have with the 404 Jeffery's long sloping shoulder?

    You can only kill one next year

    50" kudu. These didn't quite make it.

    I-193 to exempt MT Landowners from elk/deer/bear regs

    I'm still a US citizen and back here every year in November to hunt.

    Calibres you'd like to own

    I have all the bases covered already with 30-06 and 404 Jeffery. Those two will kill anything on the planet. That's good enough.

    I-193 to exempt MT Landowners from elk/deer/bear regs

    Montana is in the toilet! I've never been partisan voter but I will mark straight Democrat on the next ballot ... even if the party can only get dead corpses to run. Rotting bodies couldn't do a worse job.

    Gift for someone helping on a hunt

    I second the belt buckle idea. Look at the Barlow scrimshaw collection. I actually have one with elk design that was a gift. I wear it with my shooting bag at trap range. My everyday buckle is the horse packer design from Montana Silversmith. My late wife gave it to me for Christmas more...

    Bend Over

    Not 100% but ask your physician for his opinion. He'll tell you to lose the gut if you have a bad back.

    Bend Over

    Back in the early seventies I had a chest xray as part of US govt employment. The Dr discovered I had an S-curved back left to right do to a short leg. "You will have back trouble by middle age." I'm now officially old age and still no significant back issues. I have always kept my weight...

    EOY ‘23 - What Worked, What Didn’t?

    Everything I needed for a successful fall big game hunt was packed in the game bag of my nearly worn out Browning upland vest: 1930s KaBar drop point knife, ceramic knife sharpener, dog whistle, ten extra rounds for 30-06 (deer) or five extra rounds for 404 Jeffery (elk), Snickers candy from...

    The guy with his hands in his pockets is holding the biggest trophy. Well, he thinks so anyway. :D
