Am a bit of a shutterbug with a fondness for wildlife photography. Early this year I managed to get a couple of pretty good elk photos here in Chelan County, Washington: https://i.postimg.cc/YCJh4z4L/PC272391-1.jpg This one is wintering in my friend's front yard! I took the photo from the porch: htt...

I was all set to go on that hunt again a few weeks ago, after a two-year pause... But got pretty doggone sick the day before I was supposed to drive to Oregon... Sigh... Maybe next year!

Nice!

Jim - I'm so sorry that I didn't revisit this post earlier. Re mono-metal lead free bullets... I've only used the Barnes TSX on game. From my 25-06... It was slinging the 100 gr TSX at 3340 fps! The buck I took at very close range was an instant kill with massive damage to the heart. Maybe a 20-25 y...

Wow! Nice work.

Looks like a great hunt there, Guy. And way to go with the old smoke-pole that the Gen Z guys say is obsolete compared to those 300 SuperSilly Magnums.Tell that to that elk! No rifle magnums in my safe either, my 7-08AI, 270 Win and 338-06AI always seem to bring home the meat without beating me to ...

Thanks all! Glad I had a couple of strong, young fellows to help me on that hunt.

Sometimes 40 seems like a long time ago. Other times, it's like it was just yesterday. I like the forum title, I just need to remember to get here more often. Haven't been shooting my 204 a lot, did shoot one rockchuck on a walking-varmint hunt last summer. The 35 grain Berger did a fine job. :) Inh...

Thanks. My son and I should get out for another hunt at the pheasant club soon.

Obtained an elk depredation permit to take one cow elk. With the help of two fit young men, I managed to stalk close enough for a 405 yard shot in a stiff crosswind with my 30-06 Remington 700. Results were good, and the meals so far have been excellent. The stalk was pretty tough, several miles of ...

Thanks. It was a short and simple hunt. And yes, the meals from that doe have been very good.

Regards, Guy

I don't do as much varmint shooting as I would like, my 204 often just hangs out in the safe, waiting patiently to be put back in use.

I'm good with 20 cal anything. We already have areas for big game and such.

Always loved hunting birds with my dad. These days I love hunting upland birds with my son. He started when he was much younger, but now in his 30's he enjoys hunting birds, particularly pheasant with me and with our dog. Anymore I generally use an 80-90 year old Remington 32 over & under 12 gau...

Well sadly this year my son struck out on his regular season mule deer hunt. He has an astoundingly accurate 7mm Rem Mag Bergara rifle and we were hoping he'd tag a nice buck this year. No luck. I had a late-season doe tag and though the hunt was in open sagebrush & bitterbrush country, I decide...
