Congradulations Todd, Looks like you had a succesful hunt.
Was your dad with you on this one.
We had a great hunt in murders creek but didn't score on any elk.
We had a 6 and a 5 spoted be for season opened but some other hunters decided to set up camp in the same canyon the bulls were.
Still...

This years deer season started on the 1st of October with travel to Behula unit and set up tents. This year was the first year in a wall tent so it was a learning experiance.

We simply skined him out then quartered just like an elk. then removed back straps. When we take off the quarters they go right into alaska quarter bags. We usually do the gutless quarter job and have found it to save alot of mess.
The load is divided up and put on bulls packs and out you...
Jd338, The 225 seirra shot very accurate in my 350 remington and with the performance on the bear i think i might give them another try. But i do like the partitions performance on game.
The pelt on the bear was perfect and he is having a shoulder mount done.
The wife asked why we let him...
This was taken with a mauser 98 rebarreled to 358 winchester
I dont have terrys load but I know he used seirra 225 game king bullets.
I have used these bullets in my 350 remington mag on elk but changed to the 225 partion due to not getting a pass through. I was suprised that he got a pass...

owenv
the finnwolf is like the Winchester 88 and i believe there was a law suit over it in the early 60's The finnwolf trigger is not part of the lever and i belive the trigger is adjustable. The finnwolf was only cataloged in 243 and 308. There is talk about some 7mm-08 and 358 being produced.
The cat was taken during deer season in 2005. It was approximatly 120
lb female.
We were in a 5 year old clear cut that should hold deer but was not seeing anything. I moved down a ridge to look into a basin that could not be seen from the landing .
I spotted the cat stacking down a draw at...
Pop I found this one in a small gun shop . The asking price was $999. I talked with him about the gun and sako's and he stated that he had this one for about four months. I looked the gun over again and asked if he was firm on the price. He said he would take $899. I then told him i had $850...
Just aquired this one the other day. This gun appears to be unfired with a few storage dings in the stock. Nothing thru the finnish it also came with the 2x7 widefield scope.
I dont no if I will shoot or trade for something else yet.
