Pretty scary. King county had one that went off with the very first round they chambered.

I’ll be 69 this hunting season. That I relish going into the canyon just west of Nathan is enough for me. I can’t and won’t carry more than a front and a back strap or one rear quarter anymore. Gone to are the days we timed ourselves getting out. What I use to do in 45 minutes now takes at least...

I had four 308s during my High risk, recidivist, interdiction and apprehension career. First was a heavy barreled, wood stock Ruger 77 topped with a Bushnell Banner 3x9 scope. It was an accurate rifle on the day you zeroed it. But it would shift zero reliably. I was able to convince my LT. It...

I'll be in touch!

60 inch Kudu would be good!

Well hell of a deal. I leave La Grande on Wednessday arriving Grand Prarie on Thursday for my moose hunt. I get picked up on Friday. Almost close enough for coffee. Good luck on your hunt. I’ve been seeing some pics of monster white tails up there.

I’m up for adoption and I have graduated; just saying. What a great trip for the kids, looking forward to your reports.

I loved my mine, lost it about 20 years ago up towards Seneca someplace. Popped out of my holster riding an atv. Keep an eye out when you’re up that way

I always enjoyed hunting ne Washington or north cascades when I lived up there. It was always surprising to me how easy it was to get away from people, though there are so many. I haven’t hunted up there since 2010 come to think about it. I have the same stove and tent (manufacture) as you do...

I’ll have three contender pistols and two rifles for sale as soon as the Majors estate is through probate. Also have 8 or 10 spare pistol barrels and 4 or 5 rifle barrels. They are all in great shape and frankly by the time I inventoried them I was simply writing down info. I know there is a 30...

In high school we would sometimes go deer hunting before class, on a farm of one of our classmates. One day buddy Sean shot a nice blacktail buck on our way back to his 1964 Impala. We were going to be late if we didn’t hustle. Quick gut job and all of us hung a drag rope on the deer and off...

I had Great Uncles, related men of that generation, WW1 time frame who were never without a 25/35 on their saddles.

Looks like a tough young man, thats rough looking ground. Gotta love a kid that’ll hang in there on a hunt like that. Well done dad.

Jeepers that is pretty dang good engineering and shooting. Well done

Gerry I passed on a #1 in 35 Whelen not to long ago. Wood was just too plain. As to the suitability of the 35/06 on tough critters; a good friend of mine I’ve worked with over the last 20 years or so has a guide operation on the Alaska Peninsula. He feels the Whelen is a most effective charge...

Been there, sucks!

Scotty must be feeling bad, probably just got his flu shot, having a bad reaction and a fever making him delirious.

With the passing of “the Major” I cancelled my Colorado elk hunt, family stuff conflicted. My hunting partner on that trip had a buddy who was able to go in my place. They did well! Pics from near Rifle Co. Today is the opener in Eastern Oregon. I’ll be leaving the house in a few to take my...

I always thought the winchester 32 special a great cartridge/ rifle combination, as was the 25/35. I don’t think there is a firearm in existence that carries as well as a Winchester 92 or 94. I recently catalogued the Majors guns; He had a 38/44. There were also photos from at least 40...

The 165 partition was probably developed as the do all bullet. 150 gr partitions were great for deer, devastating terminal ballistics and generally exiting on the far side. In my limited experience they left a little to be desired on elk, particularly if you hit bone on the way in. 180s on elk...
