Getting ready to smack a bear this weekend!
« on: August 29, 2012, 10:11:17 PM »
Got the .338 all dailed out to 1500. Favorite go-to rifle for long range built by Travis Riddell. Now to go look for a bear now that the weather has cooled here in e. wa. This weekend, wish me luck!

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Are you only practicing on steel/ rocks? Because I heard it right here that those of us that shoot steel don't know how to shoot at live flesh and blood.
Good luck on your hunt by the way.
I'm slightly jealous as I have so much work right now that I'm working 6-7 days a week for the foreseeable future. Not much hunting for me.

Lots of difference between steel/paper and hair. I've personally have witnessed guys that can punch paper totally blow it on animals time and time again. Some even in this thread. :chuckle: Bears shot in the foot/paw, deers briskets split. :o


Good luck with Boo-Boo. :tup: You running the Sierra's?
