Dump all the rifles and get something like an ABolt in 300WSM with Ziess on top.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!
They're all around the CampFire and everywhere.

Thanks...will have to scan some more pictures and then email them to Paul...in my opinion there is no hunting in the world like North America...and the Great Bears are the #1 NA game animal with Sheep a close 2nd!!

Nice!...have you taken many deer and elk?
Just start a photobucket account....if you can scan you can store your scans in there and just post them yourself. I'm a total dumbazz with computers...if I can do it anyone can.....grin!! Most of my photobucket stuff is old scans.

I know nothing about computers...my son and daughter taught me how to use Kodak Easy Share and email the pictures...so I doubt I can catch on very quick!!
I have taken all 3 species of NA Elk...2 Tule using my 270, 2 Roosevelts with my 300 Weatherby and 6 Rocky Mountains...2 each with the 300 Weatherby, 270 and 30-06....I shot my 1st Whitetail at 12 with a 30-30...since I have used the 270, 30-06 , 264 and 300 Weatherby for Whitails from South Texas to Canada in all I have been lucky enough to take some 35 Whitetails...I have not hunted much Mule Deer..killing 6 here in the Texas Panhandle ..4 with my 270 and 2 with my 30-06...I shot both my Couces Deer in Arizona using my 264...Blacktails in California and Oregon using my 270, Skita Blacktails in Alaska using my 375 as we were on a Kodiak Bear hunt...I really like Moose hunting...I have been lucky enough to take a total of 9 so far and have drawn a Shiras tag in Wyoming this year after 12 years of applying...I like my 300 Weatherby for Moose but have killed 2 Moose with my 270 and 2 with my 30-06...the rest with my 300 Weatherby using 200 grain Noslers, BBC or Swift A Frames...All 10 of my Caribou have been laid to rest with my 270...

ou76,
Weidmannsheil on a singular accomplishment. NA 29 2x.
I have been receiving the pictures and the story. I see, Paul has already posted your pictures, as I was out timezone wise.
The story is very well written in my opinion.
Thanks and another welcome.

What an accomplishment, ou76, what an accomplisment... My sincere congratulations!
Carl, It does not make any difference, but it is not 25 different species/subspecies of big game in North America? I believe it was 27 before walrus and jaguar were excluded...

Alvaro, I think 29 is correct - in any case, from ou76s story, he mailed me, I understand, that is what he took - twice. OTOH, when you google you get contradicting evidence...

Last year I had the opportunity to meet in Madrid another outstanding North American hunter, Dr. Bob Speegle.
When he had hunted the full NA Grand slam his friends asked him...
-Bob, what are you going to do now?
-Well... do it again, bow.
And he did. He explained to me he could only shoot his mountain grizzly after six trips, if I remember well, Twice he had the bear within the reach of his bow but could not release because of the alders.
People like him, and like ou76, I admire very much!
