It seems like we all are being tested in so many ways right now. Prayers offered for you and your mother’s recovery and that you find help with the repairs. Been there also. Sucks.

Just got an Email from the state of Idaho, we drew a decent elk unit and it’s only about 2 hours from where we live in Oregon. Decent ground it’s work to hunt it but it’s not likely to kill a guy.

Oh, I like that. I used good 3/4 inch plywood when I rebuilt mine four or five years ago and then sealed it with old varnish of some kind. It has not held up, lots of staining, I like the look of what you’ve done. I may have to copy your work.

We, my brothers and I grew up on those 26 inch barrels. Love em.

For me it’s just being out there. Next to Gods grandeur I marvel at the strength of the pioneers. There’s remanents of wagon roads on all those ridgetops, How the hell did they do that? Much of the history in the Oregon country is lost, the old timers I befriended as a youngster are gone, guess...

I’m facing the same issues Charlie is, my guys are aging out. I’m 70 next nearest are 58 and 59. Drop to 55 years then a 49 with the tail end brought up with a 29 year old. Sitting in elk camp last fall on the last night. General discussion on the warm weather and slow hunting. 55 year old says...

Glad you caught the heart issue.

Now that I’m retired I get to the range once a week. That keeps me out of Catherines hair for the day, as well as several evenings during the week, keeping up on my loading. Hunting is still a priority but I primarily worry about getting a hike in every day to keep in some kind of shape. The...

Git er done!

Woodies are such great eating. Well done.

No, damnit now I have to go look.

Run them exclusively in my 338 Jarrett for quite a long time. 250grains at 2950 tends to get an elks attention, if only for a brief time. 30 to 501 yards, at least 20 times it’s been one and done. Think I’ve recovered only two bullets. I’m planning on taking the 300HH to Africa this spring with...

We have black eyed peas, ham and corn bread as well, I actually asked why once. She's from eastern Kentucky, don't recall the explanation but the cue words, yankee and damn yankee followed by "bless your heart" were part of the conversation. I once made a mistake by expressing my ignorance about...

Bunch grass, Junipers and sage brush. Always liked hunting ducks in that kind of country. No waders and a Chessy? Can’t tell with the lighting!

Gotta like one and done. When I was guiding the rancher I worked for carried a 257 B in his truck 365 days a year. It was never loaded with anything other than 120gr partitions. He killed a lot of elk, deer and a few lions with that rig.

Both pieces I might have access to are pretty small by western standards, a section or two. Both however are near our town which is over run with mule deer. Some of them actually drift up into the hills a little so a tag filling opportunity. Both are the kind of place you can cover in short...

Found these guys on my way back to the house, a neighbor has suggested if I do the work they’ll give me their LOP tags next year. Same unit as above, might have to do it to help with the garden raiders. These guys all look like they are related and could use a little cull work. Happy new year...

I’ll keep an eye on this group of elk, best guesss is north of 400 animals. They are about 1000 yards off the road but I didn’t have my spotting scope to get a good pic. Part of the herd came through one of my fences a couple nights ago. The long line of little dots is one herd of elk. About 3...

And I was thinking there might not be anything new out of you this year Ha!! Jorey is off and running! Looking forward to your reports.

Welcome aboard F.BB. I’ll be ordering a 257AI barrel from PAC Nor on Monday, will be following your build story as you share information. Have you a twist and bullet in mind for your build?
