Elk getting an afternoon snack.

Got a pic on the trail cam of one cougar and put the drone in the air to see if I could catch it in the open. I wasn’t expecting to see what I saw. Video not great as things were happening quick and I had to maintain altitude to clear the power lines. I think this is the mother and two kittens...

The elk spent the afternoon on the homestead so I flew the drone up to see how the herd is doing. Just the ladies and the littles but they all look like they’re doing well. I always like to see the calves. Between my place and the neighbor’s place there are at least 4 cougars hanging around and...

I was surprised to see this cat wandering around in the middle of the afternoon. I’m thinking it looks a bit skinny so probably looking for an easy meal.

Game cam shots on the homestead.

Quite a few calves in the homestead herd this year. I always like to see them on the game cameras.

I didn’t want to get the drone too close to this many birds so the quality isn’t good but does give some idea of all of the birds and critters after an easy meal following the ships upstream as they churn the little fish to the surface with their propellers.

I’d purchased an RCBS Rapid Acquisition Shooting System (RASS) some time back and used it mostly for plinking at ground squirrels with air rifles. They are no longer made and hard to find but the other day I stumbled upon one for sale on the local Marketplace and it was available at a good...

I was doing a little varmint control (or trying to). After grabbing a flashlight in the house, I came out and this one was no where to be found.

Nasty weather here today but caught the elk in the field between rains squalls. I got the drone in the air for a short flight. Stayed away from them with the drone and they paid more attention to the car out on the highway more than they did the drone. Bulls get shot out of this bunch every...

Loaded up some 100 grain Ballistic Tips for the 6.5 Grendel. Still using a stash of bullets I purchased a few years back for $2.50 a box from a Walmart close out sale.

I tried out the 12X Sig Zulu 6 image stabilizing binoculars and am quite impressed with how well they work. I rolled the dice on preowned 16X and 20X and they arrived in great shape. The low light performance isn’t the greatest and a smaller field of view are the drawbacks but they sure are a...

Was curious how the birds would react as I brought the drone down for a look while they cleaned up the possum I got last night.

Eliminated this possum last night. 115 grain 9mm plated bullet got the job done as it only got to where it went out of sight.

Swapped out the scope on the Savage 270 and finally got to the range to get it sighted in. This gun had shot well with the 130 grain Accubonds and a different scope and I was curious how the 130 grain Ballistic Tips would do. First got it on paper at short range and figured I would be on paper...

Just checking on the homestead herd when they came down for a visit last night. They didn’t seem to be too concerned I was this close to them in the dark.

Took the drone up to check on Goofy and the gang having an evening get together. Actually was getting dark but the camera on the drone did a descent job of gathering enough light. Proximity sensors don’t work in low light so was keeping the drone up high to avoid any obstacles in the area.

A bit of activity up on the ridge.

I was going to load up some 130 grain Ballistic Tips for the 270 and when I went through the bullet stash I found some grey tipped Ballistic Tips. Factory seconds but should get the job done.2

I’ve been wondering how well image stabilization binoculars work so decided to try the 12 X 42 Sig Sauer Zulu 6 HDX. Living in the PNW there isn’t a lot of wide open country or I might have opted for the 16 power First impressions is these work well as intended to stabilize the image. They...
