For me as much as I love hunting deer at home here in Mn. I'd pick a trip to our cabin in Montana to hunt deer/elk with my 3 kids and a bunch of friends, and the rifle would be a pre 64 M70 of some sort....
and you?


Nowadays, I treat every hunt as if it might be my last! Two days ago, it was with my youngest son, who had a cow elk permit. He was successful, with a little (maybe a lot) of help from ol' Dad.

If my next DIY big game hunt turns out to be my last, it will probably be a pronghorn hunt in Eastern Colorado, with my .257 Wby Mk. V.


I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
