My son and I each purchased properties in rural Idaho- He is my only neighbor within 3/4 mile. Sold our homes in town and commute about 1 hr each way for work. The wives love the peace and quiet and all the critters. Still living in the shop and trailers until 2022 when we can build. This...
I know this is an older thread but aligns with my topic. As in previous post I have a G40 with Optics and KKM barrel. I picked up a G34 and tried to get is as close as I can for practice for the G40. That works well.
I now have a G20 for woods carry instead of the G34 with the optic. I...
Very Nice Blacktail !! I hunted them for over 20 years and one of the toughest deer I've hunted. Bucks just do not go out into the open, mostly around the edges. That's a buck to be proud of.

I'm like most everyone - strive for the smallest group with in reason. Couple of guns can make one hole and couple are...
Fav Elk Rifle .... When I'm getting serious about filling the tag I carry my Sako 85 Finnlight in 300WSM. A Swaro sits on top. Before the 85, I carried a Sako 75 in 270WSM and these two guns just fit so well. I can shoot the Finnlights with out much effort. I'm suprised I don't have a pic at...
