Ok , Rodger aka captain Kodak caught me and shares half of the story.. This photo was taken after my return from a significant hike up the trail beyond where he chose to hunt. I was searching for the elusive wapati that has yet to be encountered. We did have a good hunt and I will be at it...

We are down to the wire, tomorrow is Rodger's last day to hunt elk in Montana.. we have enjoyed our hunting together.. lots of stories but no tags punched yet. I will give Rodger the opportunity to fill in details, with at least one picture after the hunt concludes Wishing everyone...

NCW might know a or some veterans who could use some tender delicious elk

Sounds like your solo hunt was very satisfying Guy. I will be solo fly fishing for a few days next week before I meet up with Rodger. Being solo in the open country sure helps me put things in perspective. Just being out there is rewarding, the fish are catch and release, just frosting on the...

Congratulations Guy, glad you got that mid day nap before taking that nice deer and all the work started. Good luck getting your son out and helping him fill his tag. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you fellas for each response. It is truly refreshing to hear the voices of "Real People" rather than 21st century pansies who are offended by the smallest thing they can point to out if what they consider normal. In my opinion too much is done these days to shelter and reward the young...

I sincerely apologize for Truck Drivers indiscretion of posting photos that I sent to him. The remote chance encounter of breeding elk presented itself in front of my wife and me earlier today in Yellowstone Park. This is a family forum and I would not have posted the mating photo, and I have...

I think I will see if there is a Barnes and Nobel in Bozeman and see if they have it.. Teddy Roosevelt's Hunting Adventures is another good one.

Sorry to hear of your tough day. Hoping that today brings many fond memories for the future.

No where has it been said how the elk died. Suppposition is the hunters shot it. Unverified as far as I can see. In my humble opinion they should have quietly backed away from the situation rather than holler at the bear. Second mistake was having the safety on bear spray while in Bear country...

There is no cure for the Hunting Virus, I is running rampant in me, even at the ripe old age of 71.. :grin: Thank God and pass the ammo.. :grin: :grin:

Below is a message from a nice young man who NYDAN is mentoring in the shooting and hunting sports. I have had the opportunity to shoot with Dan and Caleb and this appears to be a WIN - WIN for everyone. Hats off to Dan, keep up the good work. Rol Dan took me on my first goose hunt this...

I will not carry my rifle during Rodger's hunt, but will have the bear spray and my Ruger Redhawk 4" stainless, .44mag with 305gr bear loads held in a Diamond D chest holster just in case.

Thanks for pointing this out Guy.. This cannot be too far from where Rodger and I will be hunting. Can't help wonder if these guys overlooked the possibility of a quiet retreat, unnoticed by the bear if it was focused on the carcass. Discretion is the better choice in my mind. Should I have...

I have the chargemasrer and like it very much. I follow calibration instructions every time I set up and it is good to go...

I have developed very accurate 180 Partition loads for my 30-06 using IMR 4451. I believe the manufacturers are dedicating production to the Enduron powders and forgotten about H4350 which I can not find locally. 4451 is marketed as unaffected by changes in temperature. I cannot say that...

Thanks for all the replies folks. Much good advise. I expect to be with Rodger much of the time. It is his hunt so I will not be carrying my rifle but will be packing bear spray and a .44 mag Ruger in a chest holster to address the unexpected. also have a garmin inReach Satellite message...

Thank you for sharing. Great pictures.. This young man will realize the satisfaction of rolling his own rather than picking up a box of ammo at the local gun shop. Looking forward to more updates. Wishing him and his mentor the best of luck. Rol

I knew we could count on you Guy to keep the media straight... The '06 has been my go to rifle since embarking on the trips west in pursuit of elk and mule deer, and glad to have made that choice. Have, up to now, resisted the temptation to "upgrade" to a 35 Whelen as suggested by a noble...
