Have you ever wondered what something would be like, but you never quit had the opportunity to actually experience it. It is like a special hunting trip you dream about for years. It continually alludes you and then, all of a sudden, you have this UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY to make it a reality, but it is a fleeting moment at best and you must grab or it will fly away. No, I am not writing another article, but I am convinced that FOTIS and I really need some big time counseling, but in my professional opinion it will do neither of us any good. Yes, I have fallen off the wagon and FOTIS is my excuses so I don't need to immediately take responsibility for my actions. 
:lol: :mrgreen:
You see, my life was quite, calm and pretty settled as I was approaching this coming hunting season with things already laid out, but taped out on money due to my grandson's schooling and my hunting trips. Now that is a good thing considering the fact that without money I could not be temped to buy any new rifles. WRONG!! I was temped!
I opened up and email from no other than FOTIS himself and he said I know you have expressed interest in this and I wanted to give you first shot. He named a price and I knew right then one of my dreams was fast taking off and leaving me behind. So I said, how about a trade :lol: hoping against hope and to my surprise FOTIS said DEAL! :shock: :shock:
I will never forget a story I read by Craig Boddington years ago about a sheep hunt he went on and the the rifle and cartridge he used. I was hooked forever, but never able at the right time to run across one in good condition, when I had the money.
So, don't anybody scream at me, don't anybody shout at me, don't anybody nag me - and don't call me crazy, because we already know that is true. I traded my 358Win and a pistol to FOTIS for the following.
7mm08, 300Wby, 8mm Rem Mag, 338 Win mag
It is here and I have mounted my scope and here are some pictures. Really proud of my grandson and his suggestions for photos with the cartridge and rifle.
