Found a few elk this morning

We are about a mile from the open road, walk in only area on private timber co. Ground. Backs up to USFS. there are cows and calfs just 20 yards in front of Catherine. Drops off just the other side of the fence.

That looks like it should work just fine.

Well done, welcome to the forum. How many points to draw Paulina?

They are a special brace of shorthairs. They have been from Alaska to Baja California with us.

Getting close.

Steven’s youth rolling block 22. I would pack it around while hunting with my dad around Fairbanks. Shot a bunch of ducks, grouse, ptarmigan, moose, caribou and one grizzly. Early 60s time frame. Of course I had a little help from dad on the bigger stuff. :) He would shoot then I would shoot...

3140 is smoking!

Another of what I thought were perfect rifles for the mission.

When do we go :) Good luck you look to have that spot figured out.

I gotta start hunting with you guys. I was scouting yesterday. Found elk and deer which is good. Hiked at a ridge above the north fork of the John Day. Saw a good bull bedded about 1/2 way down to the river. Ballistic distance was about 200 yards, vertical was right at 800 feet. That is steep...

Great bunch of stories.

That is the budget requirement, no new toys.

Cat has me on budget I’d have to settle for the targets.

I need to get one of those!

My 06 is a Ruger 77, the first year they were produced. Owned a bunch over the years. I would bet if all the guides in Alaska lined their rifles up on the wall, by a significant number Ruger 77 would be the most used.

Blueberry are usually larger and more abundant where they grow. In Alaska we had blue berry all over in the Tundra this time of year. Scoop them up by the handful while hiking. Bears like them too. Huckleberry is labor intensive, harder to pick and find than blueberry.

Kinda surprised by the lack of velvet also.
