Thanks SJB. I really feel the need to try although my wife is not in the least bit wild about the idea of processing my own game. I already have a nice grinder from Cabela's and really need to put it to work.
Excellent job with the meat hanging. How long do you age each animal before you cut it up? I have been taking my animals to the processor except for the back straps that I steak out my self. This year I began boning most of my animals out (most processors charge $50-60 to bone per an animal)...
Great job to both of you. I am really missing hunting elk this year. Thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through the telling of your excursion!
Very nice looking rifle Oldtrader. I had a friend, several years ago when I was an early teen, who had one like that in 375 H&H. He offered to let me shoot it but back then I did not have the intestinal fortitude. Especially after I saw it slap him around. Sure wish I could shoot it now.

Sounds excellent Guy. Just received by bear back from the processor. I had some brats made as well. Think I will have to follow in your foot steps in a few days.

So as I am sure most of you know in 2019, Ca will be lead free. I have four years to get out of here. But, in the interim, does any one know of lead free bullets to reload for lever actions??
Thank you. In some ways, not getting a buck right away is a very good thing for my son and myself. It is an excellent lesson in patience. We have our "easy" hunts as well with the antelope. But the time that we spend together is priceless no matter what happens.
