We are drying out around here so took my son down to the river to fish for some pike. He caught this one all by himself and was pretty proud. (I might be as well!)
I shot my biggest bull with bergers. Shot the bull three times behind the should with a 7 mag 168 all three tight group the elk still stood. Fell down before I could load a fourth round. Found bullet shrapnel in the back quarter. all bullets exploded on impact and that was the last time I shot...
currently no progress. We are currently looking at bees or Buffalo. We lost our tax man, but are at the time of year for getting a new one.
On the topic, it is always so easy to look back and say we should of done (XYZ) Trying to get ahead. Thanks for the advice that was given!
I had a vx1 go down about 16 years ago still buy leupold because of the way that they treated me. It was a hand down scope from my dad. A wedding present from my mom 30 years before. I shipped on my dime, they fixed it and sent it back on theirs, no questions or complaints. I wrote them a letter...

I am very fortunate to have my kids and father as hunting partners. Wanting to share some pics from this year after filling the freezer with a cow early, I have had a lot of time to hunt birds!
No this burn was not in the spring it was September or October 2012? It was a coop with the sheep foundation and the FS biologist out of plains.
