Well guys I haven't been on here much in the last 6 months , I pop in and check threads now and then. Mostly on the hunting forum some on the reloading forum.
Been real busy with work and also playing a more active roll with my BIL's farm. This was a hectic fall, between work farming and...
Only thing I can see missing is a thermo-cell. You will thank me.
Border patrol treats hunters suspicious so make sure the only ammo in your truck is for your rifle. If they find pistol ammo or 22 ammo they will search your truck with a fine tooth comb. Maybe paper work to do to cross back...
You need to get "Alberta Bound" my friend!!! Offer still stands for a hunter host up this way.. you would have to start applying for the draw though.
You and Your wife would have to decide if you want horns or meat, cause a cow tag is a 3-4 year wait , bull depending on zone can be from 5 to...
We had a severe winter kill of deer and antelope in 2010 and numbers are just starting to recover some.
It's to bad to hear about it in Oregon and Washington, was it above average snowfall , extreme cold or a mixture?

Ya it sucks having to spend the extra dollars on aftermarket triggers , but all my Remington's and Vangaurds sport Timmney triggers. Worth the money and piece of mind.

Just about all my hunts are normal hunts with fairly common game for the area.
Maybe one that people would consider unusual is after both my labs tangled with a porcupine 5 years ago and met vet bill almost hit 4 digits. I declared war on them and had a bunch of friends and there kids out here...
Looks good!! My grandpa loved his 88 , so I've always been fond of them.
Ya the 185 TSX or GMX would be interesting, the 210 pt though seems perfect match.

I'm no expert by any means, but reading some of the experts take on Thermal-Dynamics , if it cools faster it will also heat up faster? It's a chicken or egg scenario.
So according to them the only benifit is weight reduction.

One of my good buddies set up a scout rifle of sorts . It's a Browning BLR take down in 7-08. He went this route for ease if transport on his atv. The scope I believe is a straight 4x 36 leupy scout with the long eye relief. Scope stays with the barrel and action separates. He likes it and has...
Hey guys the antis are at it again . If the BC hunt gets stopped by no science but feelings , the chances of Alberta getting ours reinstated is slim . So here's a link it's a leading question. Answer it and show these people we have the numbers.

I love the RL-15 in a few rifles. Not surprised by the performance in the 7/08. Looks like you nailed down a great combo in your rifle.

I was a little disappointed that Tasco never made the list. Lol.
I'm a leupy fan , but haven't spent big dollars for Zeiss or Swaro.
Have buddy's using NF and Sightron. Nice optics for sure.
My most expensive scope is a Mark 4 leupy. 1 coyote and lots of steel under its belt..
Cheap...
I have passed up shots for various reasons. Some because of light or weather conditions, some because of local ( undetermined background) , some because well today I'm not dragging anything out of that hole.
Some were animals that were on the bubble of what I was looking for. Sometimes it's...
I can only answer these last questions Jamila from my own experience.
1- sometimes on the farm land I hunt for one reason or another getting closer may not be an option.
I have one piece of land we hunt where we only have permission on one side of a long ridge, the key here is to get in early...
It might not be a popular point of view here, but I feel as a hunter I have Enough people that do not like me , do not like what I represent, and do not believe in how I will raise my children. So that being said if a person is hunting under fair chase laws, with a legal caliber and fire arm ...
It's off your want list but a 6MM rem AI with a fast twist to take advantage of some of the new high BC heavy for cal bullets out there. 107 gr MK leaving the muzzle at over 3000 would put a smile on a lot of faces.
