    New Zealand Red Stag

    Damn, I just took Catherine her first cup of coffee, asked her if she still wanted to see New Zealand. She smiled and asked “ what are the Nozzle Heads (all ya’all)up to now”. She didn’t buy my feigned innocence. Outstanding trophies, truly amazing animals.

    Old dogs

    Miss Sugar can clear a room with her farts, doesn’t seem to matter what I feed her. When I was guiding 4 days a week seemed like I couldn’t feed them enough. Purina was pretty good. I also had the cooks at the lodge save all the trimmings from the roasts and steaks they were feeding. Kept a...

    Wife's New EDC Pistol

    Always liked Sigs, carried a 226 for a few years as a duty gun. Never a hiccup.

    Old dogs

    No it’s a 12 ga. M2 Benelli. Love hunting with my side x sides but when I’m working the dogs I’ll bring the m2 with a sling and let my buddies do the shooting. 3 inch #6 Bismuth.

    Copper fouling

    I had it drilled into my head clean after every trip to the range. I still tend to keep them clean. Generally I’ll start a load test with a clean bore firing two or three fouling shots at my steel plate.

    Old dogs

    We got in about 4 miles about two hours and got legitimate shooting at one rooster. The girls were rock solid on several hens and a couple of roosters in heavy cover. Caught this guy in a patch of cat tails and he made the mistake of breaking left.

    I looked these guys over pretty well there are a couple of smaller ones missing and a couple of new ones or perhaps it is an entirely new group of bulls on the winter ground.

    28 nosler with 160 ballistic tips

    My philosophy is to use a bullet on elk that will work when the perfect shot goes wrong. I love the ballistic tip, but have seen both ballistic tips and Bergers blow up on the shoulder of an elk. Those shots were aimed for the crease but something in the equation wiggled. An accubond will go...

    130 grain E-Tip

    I need to play with the Etip some more. My initial efforts were unsuccessful relative to accuracy. Great report on your success, what’s not to like getting through and through both shoulders and a devastating wound channel.

Any of you with access to The Sentinal will have access to Requim for a Lion. Tony’s story. The VP of product development at Nike was...

We found quite a few elk, nephew was holding out for a good bull. We found one but he missed his shot. He was having a pretty hard time with the...

    Well not a neighbor. Elkton is probably 450 miles west south west of me. Great country down there in that South West part of the state, Good Roosevelt, Black Tail deer and Black Bear country.

    Just turned off the highway onto our driveway. Found this guy laying in our aspen thicket. Looks good to me if only the season was open.

    Reviving the 300 Win Mag / 200 Accubonds

    Always thought the 300 Wm/200gr. Was about perfect. Having your daughter around well that just makes it more better.

    Afganistan

    We started the process under the last trump administration to no avail. Bidens greatest error was following Trumps plan to pull out of Afganistan. Neither had put in place the tools to get those who helped us out. Bidens excuse was he had to follow Trumps agreements. History will likely show...

    Afganistan

    UPDATED NEWS We were awakened this morning to the ring tone Catherine had reserved some years ago for her interpreter in Afganistan. When he finally settled down and started speaking English we learned that both of “her guys” have appointments in the coming week to get their passports and...

    357 Magnum revolver problems

    I thought rifle cranks could get technical. I read through the responses you received on the S&W forum. Those boys are dialed in!

    Origins of my 250 Savage obsession - remembering John

    My condolences Troy, friends like that are never replaced and they never stop giving. I find remembering the time we had together helps me fade off to a good nights sleep.
