Thanks for the invite @Elky Welky . I had a great time and really enjoyed the week with you and your family. All of the stories, place names and traditions, and even a busted elk stalk, made it really memorable.
Although I might have to hunt with your dad or uncle next year if I actually want...
Kinda depressing to look at three profiles for my family and see everything in the “Unsuccessful” category. Somehow I always feel like one of the three of us show draw something…
I had a 6.5-284 built a couple of years ago. I did it with a tikka action and put a 21” barrel with a 7.5 twist. Currently I’m shooting a 125gr HHT (all copper) at 3000fps at about .6 moa. This year I put it in a Grayboe stock. With the suppressor it weighs around 9-9.5 lbs and shoots like a...
I have a Sitka Jet Stream and the old discontinued Jet Stream Light. They are amazing and I wear one of those 90%+ of the time. For pants I wear the XKG Ridge pant by Kings. They fit so well I found a good sale and bought two more pair and keep them in the packaging for when my original pair...
I had a 8” Lane suppressor that I put on a 26” 7RM. It was a telephone pole. I couldn’t cut the barrel because of the fluting so I’ve got a new Benchmark barrel w/ a 8 twist coming that will be finished at 20”.
I also wanted a faster twist. Looking to shoot a 145gr tipped Hammer or maybe a...
My son got his first WT buck this morning. We went and helped a rancher with his branding last spring and in return he gave us permission to come hunt.
We were out yesterday and the bucks were rutting hard. We were watching a nice 5x4 pushing does most of the morning. He finally started...
My wife’s buck from this morning in MT. The group this buck was with was walking towards us so we just sat down and let them come. This guy stopped broadside to us at 125 yds. She made a good shot and dropped him in its tracks.
My son will be hunting antelope for the first time! He and my wife both drew either sex tags and I drew a doe tag closer to home. Gonna be a fun time chasing antelope this Fall!
My parents live in Cody. Last year WYOGF relocated a sub-adult boar, and last week they relocated a sub-adult sow, both from Heart Mtn area and both for killing cattle. I think Dad told me that there is also a sow with cubs that live in the area but I don’t know if that’s true.
What powder and barrel length? I’ve got some 118s loaded up to try with RL16 but I have a 21” barrel. I’m going to try to get out tomorrow and see what I get.
As the one who caused that moose to tip over in said water I agree with this statement :) That was quite the afternoon and I appreciated the help, Elky.
