it will be worth the wait!

Losing those petals kept that bullet from stopping in that shoulder. Exactly as it was designed to do. Moose shoulders are a tough task for any bullet and it was hitting pretty fast. I’d say that was a win. Very nice bull. I would have recommended that bullet/cartridge combo for your hunt...

I have zero tolerance for those kind of people. That kind of disrespectful approach would have gotten her a response that would assure she was no longer a “casual acquaintance”.

300 win mag

I was actually pretty impressed with the 200gr ELDX on my moose this year. Did a lot of damage and still exited thru high shoulder shot. It did do a bit more meat damage than I’d like. The high shoulder shot on moose has stopped 180gr accubonds before. None of the conventional lead core...

I sometimes feel I would be better off hunt in g from the porch!

Should be a great performer on game.

Man and I thought my ruger n1 in 50/140 was big!!

That stock turned out great.

I did a little more load work up today. I backed the 125gr hammer load back to 56gr for 3110fps. It shows some promise. I also picked up a box of Hornady 117gr whitetail ammo. It shot very well. I was really impressed with its consistency. Average velocity of 2989fps with an ES of 6...

I went with the vortex razor HD LHT 3-15x42 on my 6.5 PRC havak rifle. I had tried a vx5 3-15 on my havak 300 win mag. Sadly I had tracking issues with it. I got a noticeable lateral shift when dialing it up. It got sent back to leupold but I could never trust it afterwords. I ended...

I would have to go with the rem 700. There is just too much after market support for the rem. Triggers, stocks, optics mounts, bottom metal, the list is endless. The few downsides to a rem, extractor and safety, are easily corrected. A new bolt or m16 extractor conversion is easy and a 3...

I have been going back and forth on what glass to put on my fast twist 25/06. I had been kicking around a couple different options. A 2.5-10x42 NXS or a vortex razor Hd LHT were on the short list. In the interim I had a trijicon 3-9x40 on it. The trijicon is an excellent scope and I loved...

Vacuum seals and froze them all last night. Except for a couple packets for friends and one to eat today

Got all the meat fully processed. I ended up with 147 pounds of jalapeño cheese moose dogs, 138 pounds of burger, 38 quarts of canned moose, 16 quarts of bone/moose broth, 32 pounds of tender loin and back strap steaks, and 6 gallon ziplocks of dried meat scrap dog treats. Pretty good haul...

We had one day left but with the weather turning on us we came back early.

We had a few days left before my buddy laves state so we ran up towards Denali for a quick bear hunt at a place I regularly see bears at. We got up there about 4pm and ran up to a nice high looking point to set up camp. I was putting in the 4th corner tent stake when I saw a black bear...

Hard to argue with that setup.

I’ll take a spike/fork every time. Excellent meat, and easier to handle. Don’t get me wrong I’d happily shoot a big bull, but I just can’t let all that meat walk away when I see a legal bull.
