I remember when I was younger it seemed that there were opportunities to hunt everywhere and see lots of good animals. Not so now, so my wife & I decided to start our boys out where they could be successful and have a good time hunting. I know if I had hunted a general area in Utah as they are now when I was their age I would have become discouraged in a hurry. We have plans to take our other boy to TX in Dec for his first hunt. I hope it's as fun a trip as this one. As for the rifle, it's a Sniper's Hide rifle built by George Gardner. I couldn't be happier. It shoots 178 gr MK, either handloads at 2740 fps or Fed Gold Medal factory load at 2715 fps, into the 3's & 4's & these TSX's into 4's & 5's. Others with the same rifle report better accuracy, but they probably have a lot more trigger time than I. That 24" Mike Rock barrel gives some impressive velocities.
