As all of us know here, we have zero tolerance for this and picking on women is a huge no no.
Cheyenne has no doubt killed more wolves than the rest of us together have seen.

Jim, I got your message and I thank you, both for the support and well wishes. Dr, Mike, Pat, Sean, Charles, Brian, and Scotty, I would like to thank you also.
I would like to say that I am reluctant to post as it seems to always create a problem, that then needs to be addressed and someone gets banned and others, at least in the past, have gotten upset because someone was banned. there is also those like titlist who simply says goodbye because of the problems created by a female being on the forum. It is a great forum, with many fine gentlemen, and the forum has many posts and threads daily, without a problem, until A or I show up. It is impossible not to feel bad that we inadvertently create a disturbance on the forum and I apologize for that.
I have zero problem with someone disagreeing with me, as in many cases I am able to learn something from those people. Two good examples are Scotty, who guided me to the 7 MM WSM, and they have worked well for us. Another is Bee Tee. this gentleman and I have somewhat disagreed on the wolf issue on every thread that involved the wolf. But the gentleman never put me down in any way, shape or form. He stated his case very well and I respect him for discussing the issue in a gentlemanly manner and I also respect and even agree with his points about the wolf in Montana. I get the feeling, but I may be wrong, that he also respects my feelings about the wolf and the reasons I like them, based upon the area in which I live.
I guess I just wanted you guys to understand that it is not easy trying to be a part of something when your always walking on egg shells, so to speak.
As Sean mentioned my work does keep me away from civilization for several weeks at a time, which Scotty always jokes with me, that living in the mountains and away from civilization for several weeks at a time, is not a bad thing as far as he is concerned. I also have just recently decided to take on a personal project that will take a lot of my time when I am not at work.
Scotty, we are still just using the 45/70 and 7mm WSM lever guns and have not found a reason to take anything else, unless we decide to hunt the goat or sheep this year and then I might break out my new 275 H & H. I have not used it yet but have given all the reloading information you sent me to my grandfather and he is loading up some goat and sheep medicine for us based on the information you sent. As you know he will probably substitute Swift A frames bullets, but who knows maybe not. thank you

FWIW, Cheyenne, I use a fair amount of A-Frames. They do penetrate well and they have always served me well with big critters a tad to the south of you.

Hey Cheyenne, don't worry about the egg shells. Let Jim/Fotis sort out the ones who get ruffled. Don't feel like your causing trouble, your in good company here.
I would like to see your Grandfather post some too when he surfaces from time to time!
Anyhow, I hope you are staying really busy and away from this Google box as much as you can. I am glad you are enjoying the 7mm WSM. You'll have to give a quick snapshot one of these days of yours and your others half's impressions.

I appreciate your note.
Yes, I absolutely respect your opinions about the wolf. I grew up with the Mountain Lion in our woods. I saw a wild one for the first time when I was 9 years old while I tagged along with my father during an afternoon walk-in elk hunt near Connor, MT in the early 1960s. For about 10-15 minutes, he watched us as we watched him from across the draw a couple hundred yards away. My dad's rifle remained slung the whole time. I would not want to see them disappear from Montana. They have always been a part of Montana and my childhood memories. The non-native introduced wolves are neither. BT
PS. I'm a guest here and I appreciate that.

Cheyenne,
I've shot competively with women for years and have been able to learn from them for most of them were better shots then me. I find that everone can learn from each other no matter what gender they may be.
Stay around and help us learn from your experiences.

I may be biased but when I see that pic all I can think is.............. Belt fed full auto baby!
Just joshing , a pack that big is a bad thing. First off they will be unequaled in their ability to pull down game. Then as prey gets thinned out and harder to find there will be much diasese and starvation that will wipe out the pack. It' s kinda simplified as an over balance predator -prey population I'd be the first to admit a few wolves , smaller packs can be a Goood thing. But in the past decade they have been on huge upswing, and even a once great ungulates population here in Ab has really taken a hit from them and bad winters.

I'd be the first one to say I'm not fond of wolves and would rather see them any other place than in the US but their here to stay and if we can get the do gooders out of the way maybe they can be properly managed. As far as the ladies posting and their comments I have said in past forums and will say again I believe they are a great addition and a welcome change. A person who stops listening or makes disparaging comments irregardless of who the poster is, is shortchanging his knowledge of the sport he loves.
I hit post a reply right after the OP, and missed the side show stuff. For what it's worth I'm raising a gaggle of girls I truly hope will take up the outdoor pursuits. My oldest may never hunt but she is a born and bread fisherwomen , my second oldest cant wait to hunt wants to go out with me every time and was in the goose blind with me last fall at age 3, the third girl the stand up comedian of the family seen 2 moose on a family trip 2 weeks ago . She was hollering from her car seat " Dad stop and shoot em" over and over until me and the wife were in tears laughing so hard. I think I know where her loyalties lie. Lol. So in this day and age, no actually in any day and age if a women can hunt and wants to hunt what is the big deal. Yukon huntress I am impressed with how you handle yourself and its women like you are role models for my girls....
If any one can find a link they need to read " I had to have a moose" written by a widow with three young childeren in BC in the 1920's . We are in the midst of rebuilding our home and everything is boxed up our i could find the author s name. It's an amazing tale of survival by a young mother with her back against the wall...
Olive or Olivia Fredrickson I believe is the author. I haven't been able to google it.

Yes sir, it is a great book. The Silence of the North is the one I think you are referring to. If it is, Cheyenne ( yukon huntress ) recommended this book to my daughter and my daughter did enjoy the book. My teenage daughter wrangles horses in the summer for outfitters, including shoeing them. she is determined to get a job in the wilderness after she finishes college and has ask Cheyenne if she can be a volunteer for her, when she enters the Yukon Quest Race. She is also trying to put together a yukon river canoe trip for herself and two other girls, and since Cheyenne has already accomplished that feat, she has given my daughter several pointers on what to expect, do and not do.
Thank you for making this post sir, as I bet Jim, Scotty, Fotis and others here with daughters might want to add this book to their library.
