Lurker from Colorado coming out of the closet!

[GigiBobert]

Been lurking for awhile. Great forum, hope I am able to contribute something. Been backpack hunting for 40 years next fall. Packed out lots of elk, deer, sheep and antelope on an old Freighter frame. Kill most with an "old" .280. I was kind of surprised when my bull last year didn't jump up and run off after realizing he wasn't shot with a 6.5 Creedmore!

Welcome to HT, name is funny.

 

[pabearhunter]

Welcome aboard.

 

[Dsnow9]

Welcome!

Welcome. 6.5 Creedmoor: the only hunting caliber that on its way to a 700 yard neck shot on a 400+ class bull elk, doesn't have to stop and ask for directions [jk]

I know an old logger who for a lot of years used a .280 and shot a lot of elk. Great cartridge!

Well welcome out of the closet! There's nothing better than a knee slapper about a cartridge you can't spell.

 

[Deleted member 16014]

On a more genuine note, with 40 years of backpack hunting I imagine you've got some good hunts and stories accumulated. Would love to hear about some adventures.

 

[GigiBobert]

uh oh....at least I didn't refer to it as the 6.5 manbun! I can't blame autocorrect?!

Your title reminded me of one of the GOAT South Park episodes.

At first I was hoping you are related/know that well know Representative Boebert, but I see the spelling is not the same.

How do you feel about the western slope wolves proposal?
