How many mils to get to the 1500 yd line?

No turrets yet.

Gentlemen!

Tanner that's a beautiful pic. Bellydeep, thank you, good info.

Hunted in my immediate AO in the morning, nothing. Foot really sore from my "hard charging" day yesterday where I "hiked" about 1.5 miles total on "challenging" mostly sage-flats terrain. Whatever. Decided to flog that bitch today. I've been watching the top of the mountain when it's visible and today the snow looked mucho thinned in the area I needed... headed up to that spot I mentioned where Jerry got his 5 years ago. It's these little benches, above cliffs in a huge gorge, that you are above, and that you'd never know we're there from the road; it just looks like the world drops off. There's springs, and food on them, and apparently the deer like it. Very rocky and high-altitude, about 9500, above the trees. Pics below.

It seems hunters don't really know about it. In addition to not seeming like there'd BE benches, it's in a section of road that has a view on the opposite side into a whole different incredible gorge that is just stunning and seems like it's going to suck your vehicle in a bit due to the camber of the road... funny psychology there.

Anyway, cut to the chase, a buck jumped up like a jackrabbit about 40 yards away and due to the geology I couldn't ID him as such in time to slap the trigger. He wasn't a big buck, compact 3x3 is my guess. Woukdve killed him in a hot second.

He dove down a rocky snowy chute and there was an apartment building size structure that he was on one side of... I guessed he'd go left when he got past it so I hauled ass around the side of it (ouch) to where I'd have a shot but I think he went straight and dove down into the gorge proper. About 15 minutes later (I'm glassing hard trying to find him) I heard two shots straight below me. I suspect my bad fortune was someone else's good fortune. That actually takes the sting out of it a bit.

I'm gonna hunt here at dawn then pack a lunch and go back up there till dusk tomorrow.

Also saw a deer about 1/2 mike from here (camp) that was either a doe or a really young buck. It melted into an aspen grove before I could find its tiny-ass little horns, if it had any. I did a last-light overwatch of that aspen grove this evening. Yeah, I'll whack a dink at this point <g>.

Gonna post this before something crashes and post some cool pics in a different post.

NOW HEAR THIS.....
JEFFO HAS SEEN A DEER.
I REPEAT......
JEFFO HAS SEEN A DEER.



Then she vibrated and climaxed.

This has been an JeffNewsNetwork Special Report.

Stay tuned.

Ok, s the benches are on the left rim of this gorge.



This the part of the benches area. About 1/2 mile from the road, approx 9500', lots of springs and an icy little creek.




-----------------

Here's a few pic's from the rim overlook. This is looking east now. Before was the west, wetter, more gradual side. The east side I've heard called the Baby Alps. I've packed into a couple of the canyons, though not hunting. Y'all can scatter my ashes there, thanks for that, HEY DON'T STEP ON ME!

There's an alkali flats down there that's huge, called the Alvord Flats I believe. People try to set land-speed records on it, I drove our Land Cruiser out onto it and was always looking for the little ripple or ditch that was gonna make a fool out of me, but it's FLAT. The shadows of the clouds are a trip. I wish I had some photos OF the east side I could post, it might actually be my favorite side.

Wow, that foreground looks like Mordor or some shït!



Again, these are shot while standing at the literal edge- you could jump off to your death- looking east. Just offering these for fun. And on that note, this is crappy photography on a crappy camera.... admitted.

Shadows from the clouds create a cool look.

Is that in your "attention all shoppers!" intercom voice?

Someone like Stick, with great gear and some talent, could take incredible photos up there.

Looks like Camel toe to me.

Now that you mention it, it kinda does!

Jesus Christ I just peed a little!! Haha

The oblivious HILARITY of The Do NOTHING Gang's BEST efforts,never disappoint's in their "grandeur". Jeff Zero is "living" on "the edge",the Boozy Bromance never wanes and groping Trannies is now in "vogue". Congratulations?!?

Anywhooo...in the REAL Outdoor's,dots remain connected and it is VERY "unfair" that proficiency cain't be purchased,despite the flurry of pom-pom's and "vocations" "flaunted" to "vindicate" same. Laughing!

Hardly "daunting" for the astute to control DOF(Google it),add fill flash(Google it),dump ISO(Google it) and focus/meter then recompose as per whim(Google,Google,Google it). That while eschewing the "rule" of thirds,abandoning the tripod,gunning the shutter via digit and knocking victims in the fhuqking head while laughing aloud at the gross ineptitude so eagerly shared in "triumph" by The Do NOTHING Gang. Though Fredrica's pedal bike is as bitchin',as Jeff Zero's deer track picture. LAUGHING!

If only to fuel more Imagination,so as to "unleash" even more Pretend.



Now to allow others,to nod their heads...like they've a fhuqking clue. Laughing!

'Coupla sets of 'Horn rings arrived today and the Tall Bitches went aboard a certain 5R 1-7" Krunchenticker SALAMI 243Win,to steer it's mag nestled 105 Hornie HPBT Smooches. That transition away from non-steel TPS,granted an erector shift of better than 10 Mils at the 100yd line,due the 40MOA Signature Sandwich Shift(Google it). Windage was unaffected,but the erector now realizes 31.3MILS and the reserve 10 MILS on the windshield go without saying...just sayin'. The erector "only" grants 1920yds from zero and the parcel can "only" reach 2170yds all out. GREAT time for The Counter Jockey or "The Genius" to muse Turdic subtension "values"(Google it). The Turdic DUMB Fhuqks go wayyyyyyyyyy outta their way to skirt Physics and Mathematics and in no particular order(Google it). Hint. Laughing!

Prolly should upload some cards from various cameras of the day,but that ain't "fair" either. Whistlin' better than a dozen flavors of ammo through the Marvel Unit One(Google it),only attested to the sanctity of 1913 Picatinny spec's(aboard a 1911 of all things) and the harmony of POA/POI(Google it). I'll divulge magazine Make/"Merit" "attributes" too,mainly because I can. Hint.

I'd share pics of a 10x MQ hoppin' outta it's Shipping box,but the Sensory OVERLOAD of same,would cause yet another Hurricane,due the fluttering pom-pom's. You "lucky" kchunts. LAUGHING!

You gals REALLY "get after it!!

Bless your hearts.

Laughing!...................

Interesting country you're hunting in Jeff.

Pretty country also.

JeffO,
Looks like you caught a rare "nice" day in that country.
Known as Godforsaken country to most, it doesn't look to bad in those pics.
Most of my time goin' thru there it's either hotter than hell with blowing dirt,
or colder than hell and blowing dirt.



Oh, and tumbleweed.
But you are quite a bit higher..............




Pun intended.

Slave

I thought there would be more trees where JeffO is hunting now.

Stick, we could let you into the Boozy Bromance, but you've just gotta stop obsessing over Giant Erectors first. It makes the bro's a bit nervous.

Except 'Slave. He appreciates the Intel.

I'd post a picture of the remaining intoxicants I have on hand but heads might explode.

Let me say for the record that I never, ever, ever mix intoxicants of any kind and guns. Don't like 'Slave's insinuations in that regard.

Headed back to the top of the mountain here shortly... had two does go by my stand this morning. Looked tasty but I couldn't pin even the dinkiest of horns on either of them so they are still alive.

Breaking it in soooooooon. 😂.


Not bad for a three week from order to done some girls wait way longer.
(With three black powder bulls hanging in between). 👍🏼









He is training at three by five he might want to sell his bike for an upgrade Sugartits I will keep you posted. That bike is perfect for you I will ship it to you for free. ( plus I will lower the seat so your feet will touch the ground at no charge).
