Rifle hunting 🥺

[Duck-Slayer]

I decided I don’t like it....

Rode a horse....

Spotted an elk....

Shot an elk....

Freezer full....

I decided I like walking better than I do riding a horse. I like my goats way more, especially when it comes to taking care of them at night and in the morning. Thanks to my buddy Wayne for taking me out on his horses. I also do not like rifle hunting elk, I much rather call them in and harvest them with my bow.

[rtraverdavis]

Yeah. Looks like a miserable time. Congratulations on the bull.

You could always mix the two and use a handgun

Tough gig! Grats on the freezer filled. An arrow or bullet. Hmmm... I certainly enjoy archery much more however, if archery season ends and a tag remains, a rifle will do... and if a tag still remains? Grats on the elk Matt!

It's big 6 point or a spike. Trophy horns or super trophy meat. Better than the chewy raghorns!

I'm jealous.

Dos puntos. It's spanish for freezer full of meats.

Roughly 154.75lbs of meat off that spike. 15 bags of 5 steaks, 2 neck roasts at 5lbs each, 59 bags of hamburger at 1.5lbs each. And with the 2 deer we got and a partial elk I was given looks too be year #16 w/o buying red meat.

Enough to eat at will, that's for sure! I hate trying to ration meat to make it to the next season.

30-06 no doubt. There are so many different bullet weights for a 30-06 it's almost mind boggling. The only problem you would run into is having to re-zero your scope when switching from a 150grain to a 220grain.

It's a big jump in bullet weight and ballistics.

As far as a scope, i'm really loving my Nikon Monarch 3x12x42 with BDC reticle.
