Are you ready?????????
« on: August 06, 2013, 04:01:25 PM »
Even at 62 I can at least look back and remember the trips where I didn't come home and have to eat tag soup :bash: and now I'm just hopin this might be the year I can maybe fill both tags  :hunter:

The first and second shots 3rd are from 1987 when I was dumb, young and a lot better fit and a good friend helping get it out . 4th one is from a year ago same 30 year old T/C Hawkins. Shot the rifling out of the barrel but wrote TC and they checked it out then sent me a free barrel. GOOD COMPANY if you ask me.

Anyways got a trip planned for elk this year and my finger is itchy how about yours. Got a shot or two you'd like to share?

Not quite ready but this Thursday at the MSVL Rifle Range will  'close the loop'.

An 'even more aged than myself' friend and I are treating ourselves to a Bearpaw Muzzy Whitetail hunt this year!  :IBCOOL:

Couple of old duffers and a couple smokepoles. What could go wrong!?!  :yike:

I can't wait!!!  :hunter:

Well Duffer there will be 3 of us all 62,  yea what could go wrong???? :) Your hunt in the Bearpaws wouldn't happen to be in Montana would it?  I graduated in Fort Benton Mt. snd dad use to take us to the Bearpaws and that's where I got my very first deer, also  did some creek fishin there.

My daughter might use the muzzleloader to try to get her first deer this year as well, guess I'd better blow the dust off of and out of it.   ;)

Darn it Jack that is one heck of a compliment just wish I had their money :) but no can't say anyone gave me that kind of compliment.. Never had kids but had one of our members come over for a turkey hunt with his kids and man it was fun. So I hope your daughter is lucky and I know time spend with her either way will be worth it, just remember take you camera fillin a tag is fine but it but time with your kids is GREAT and pics just let you look back and remember them when you get my age :)

I HEARD THAT, when my son got his first deer we got a picture of him, me, my bestfriend and his deer with a huge valley and a mountain right behind us and the color is awesome, he drug his little spike all the way to the truck all by himself and then he road in the back of the truck with his deer all the way out of the hills, he wasnt to happy when we had to make him get in the cab with us.... i only hope my daughter is up for it, she shot a grouse and says she can shoot a buck, so we will see this fall  :tup:

  Yes it was what made you guess that? Shot him across a canyon then he ran all of 10/15 yrds and dropped right in the rock pile hole :)
