I don't know how many others are dealing with wild fires but I've got a big one right across the canyon. Been watching it burn for three days now. We've cut some fire breaks in with a dozer thru mine and neighbors property. I've been cutting the weeds and brush back but already have a good...

All good stuff- As far as my wife using the 243. Between one hunting buddy, my son and I, we have probably a dozen elk, mostly cows with a 243. So we have seen what the 243 is capable of in the right circumstances. She is not an experienced hunter. She’s actually a very good shot. 5 deer...

1/2 a beef and a cow elk each season-doesn’t get any better!

I use a laptop and a VERY big monitor for my old eyes. I use Excel for records and making drop charts etc.

My wife thought our “Shop/Barn” cat was saying good morning by putting its paws on the window where her inside cat was sitting. When she walked over…. well it was a visitor. That was cool and all but our little resident mama deer freaked out with her fawn in the brush nearby. That cat started...

Absolutely ditto to what JD338 advised! Keep them clean. I have 2 BAR Shorttracs and they will throw all over the target when dirty and group right up after cleaning.

Thanks for the replies. I do have a Past recoil pad… somewhere. I will find it ,that’s a good idea. I can load down the WSM a bit for her to get comfortable with it. What’s convenient is we can shoot off the back deck to a 100 yd target. Should be able to get her ready. I would really...

With two Cow Elk tags for my wife and I. We had a discussion that a good shot with her BAR Shorttrac 243W is better than a bad shot with …. well anything. I happen to have a 300WSM in the same model with a Razor LHT. When I handed her the rifle to feel and look thru, two things happened...

Both my wife and I drew cow elk tags in our backyard in (8A). Add another year of not getting the Mule Buck tag I’ve been trying for. That 20 years of no luck on getting that tag. Bummer…… At least we will have meat in the freezer!

Still waiting on the Idaho results…….

I’m glad I picked up a 1952 vintage 99 in 300 Sav. I had to replaced the butt stock due to oil damage but it’s in great shape and shoots reasonably well. I’ll not let this one go.

Brings back memories! I used to plunk the Kalama beach over 25 years ago when I lived near by. Plenty of Steelhead made it to the smoker, especially using a slider like that. I usually had a small X5 red Flatfish on it. Good luck on putting more in the freezer!

Nice job !

+1 on someone who is happy with his 28N. Just got into it so just shooting on paper. My son’s 28N has deer and elk on the ground with authority.

In my WSM, I used RL22 and 150 gn bullets.

Good news on my wife. Orthopedic looked at images and said no broken bones and not a dislocated wrist. Very upset arthritis and the tendon to the thumb from the fall. That’s all good news !

Sorry for your loss. I haven’t replaced my Lab that I had for 14 years that I put down 2 years ago. Feel for you.

We have two adult children in their 30's. My son took me home and my daughter grabbed her mother to sort that out. All issues resolved - my wife goes back tomorrow to set the bones and also get the bones put back into the proper place.

I'm hoping! She.has not gone thru this type of process before. I'm hoping it goes well !!

Had tough time getting control of pain where blood pressure would come down. As my wife went to get the truck she fell and broke 2 bones in her wrist that will get set tomorrow. The disclocated Ulna is up at her thumb right now, so that also will get resolved tomorrow too. What a day ......
