Thanks, everyone.

Four things I’m very glad I had this year.

1. Suppression. Three shots of 300WM through a Thunder Beast Magnus and my ears were not ringing. No discomfort at all.

2. Garmin Rino 700. One of my friends misunderstood where I was but due to having a radio that sends my location based on GPS, he made it to me without much confusion.

3. Kifaru pack. Meat hauling was top my priority list for this years fall hunting seasons. I ditched my backpacker’s style bag finally and got a proper pack.

4. Benchmade Meatcrafter. I had just bought the day prior because it had a sheath and was in my price range. The other knives I had showed me how easily they would poke through the roll when I was in Montana. I really didn’t want to get stabbed by a knife through my pack.

Thank you!
On Sunday a friend got me access to a butcher shop and the owner came by to help. We got it trimmed, cut, ground, packed. I really can’t say enough about the people I’ve met in WA that hunt and have become friends.

If I had to guess, I’d say I got about 100lbs of meat from that spike.


Joe Cool’s cousin, Jimmy Spike wants you to know that smoking 300 Win Mag is bad for your health.
