175 yards is pretty good poke for iron sights. Not bad for an OLD man

Congratulations on your successful elk hunt. Sometimes I read about the hunts you guys in other states come up with and I just shake my head. That hunt would never occur anywhere I've hunted in Oregon. I lead a sheltered life.

I thought this was a cool pic of the "Stalk" the boys put on from the ditch! ![[Linked Image]](http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r174/lt13demi/Mobile%20Uploads/image_391.jpg)

Nice job KW!!
That irrigation ditch is handy cover. Might have to dig a few in my AZ Wilderness Area hunting spots!
For those without the good fortune to be at the Quemado camp this summer, ol' KW was the only one slingin' lead from iron sights during the steel shoot. And layin' em in there he was. Same rifle I believe.

Same rifle I believe. Sure is handy as hell!!! I used it to sneak up on my bull last year! Damn Chinee coolies dug that ditch! The brought it a steam shovel, but the chinee could dig faster!!!! They tried to get the shovel out but got it bogged up here on the ranch.its still down in the bog!!! But sunk a bunch deeper. Dunno if any of it is still sticking out. It's a mess down in that area!!! That 95 I had at Quemado was one of my SRC's. Mebbe bring it next hunt!  .

Over 100 years old and still putting them down! Excellent Bob is plenty old, but I think he's still a couple of years shy of 100. OH! You meant the rifle
