A beautiful old gun and a great story! Thanks for sharing it with us. Congratulations to you and your husband for hunting success with old family rifles. This reminds me I should find a good hunt to use my dad's lever-action rifle.
Thank you @Kaitum and @ajricketts for sharing your thoughts. That confirms what I had heard about them before. I'll review their website again and decide which model best fits my needs.
What an amazing adventure in an awe-inspiring landscape. Congratulations on your success and kudos to the photographers for capturing such great photos!
😄 Nope, I grew up hunting the desert and don't deal well with the truly thick timber. The trees were a lot thicker behind me when I took that photo though, he was laying on the edge.
I have lived here all my life and have never been further north than Grangeville. I vaguely remember 1 brief...
Here's a variation on the topic. I found this mostly intact skeleton while stalking an elk last month. Based on its condition and location I'm guessing that last year a hunter shot this bull and lost it in the thick steep terrain.
I'm thinking seriously of buying a recteq grill in the next month or two, and thought I'd send this thread back up to the top for another round of reviews.
This will be my first pellet grill. My main interest is build quality for a long lifetime, and recteq seems to get consistently high marks...
Thanks everyone for your replies, especially the tips on testing.
When I got all the corrosion cleaned off I found the terminal is cracked in 1 spot and broken through in another. Replacing that component will be the next project.
My jumpstarter is the same NOCO unit as @LuketheDog linked to...
In case sharing my experience yesterday can help anyone protect their hunt from complications...
It's worth taking a few minutes before leaving for a hunt to test your truck battery health and inspect its cable connections for corrosion.
My truck has been so reliable I forgot about this step...
Here are 3 from my elk hunt. I'll go back later this month to try again.
A steep, rocky, brushy slope. I bumped an elk herd into this.
Some mornings were chilly.
I followed the elk sign to the timberline. Found great scenery but no elk up there.
Here's a section from page 98 of this year's regs. I'm not a LEO or attorney, but I'd interpret the electronic device in an Eliminator to be more than a lighted reticle.
Here's another interesting perspective I just found. I did a quick review of this thread and saw references to commercial trolling and the Fraser river, but didn't see mention of mining waste...
