I got a couple of tall 13+ mountains in my back yard for training. Of course living at 8500 feet helps too. I forgot to tell you Elk in my backyard too.

If it makes Flave feel any better, I once got up at midnight, packed, hit the road, drove 3 hours, and hit my spot on schedule just before shooting light for the mule deer opener. Then opened the gun case and found a Ruger 77/22 instead of a FN .30-06. I couldn't do anything but laugh, buy breakfast, and go home Everyone should know that our own Campfire mentor, Mule Deer showed up for a varmint hunt without ammunition...

Ahh...most of us change our pants between outings, Travis. Oh, and I have it under good advisement that 22-250 rounds don't work so when once washed. I learned long time ago that life is better for me and my wife if I check my pockets before they go in the laundry.
All kidding aside, you'll get one, and thanks for being a caring dad...ingraining a malleable mind with your pure, unadulterated character.
I've washed thousands. Thanks, Travis

Excellent read guys, thanks for the entertainment ! I bet that mistake will never happen again on a elk hunt. You are forgiven Deflave. Glad there was no mishap with the wrong cartridge. Your son will truly learn from this, to be careful when grabbing a box of shells for a hunt. If you bribe/pay him, maybe he won't tell his friends. : ) I drove him to school this morning and asked him how he thought I would have handled that if it were HE that chambered the wrong ammunition at the end of that 4 hour stalk. He rolled his eyes and laughed... Travis

I have a feeling this thread will become epic,a campfire classic, destined to be preserved for posterity Exactly, it should be made a "sticky" for all. Title it, "What not to do" Next Flave will be blaming the Pollacks for this.

When did a 7mm-08 become a rifle? I thought it was a target pistol round.

Travis I think he chewed because it was PAST an allegation.....

He did fail, you can't do it without ammunition...

If ONLY they had used a 7x57 Featherweight.... Can't. These are Rugged Montana elk. Not gay California elk

Yep, but luckily I remembered the ammo for Eileen's rifles.
By the way, we're still shooting some of that .22 Long Rifle ammo I bought in Wilsall so I could shoot gophers. I decided as long as the store was selling it for a decent price to stock up. Turned out out that was a good decision.

Travis I think he chewed because it was PAST an allegation..... I have guided elk hunters before, this wasn't my first time. While they were putting on their cold weather gear in the -19 degree weather, I pulled out a set of walkie-talkies and put in new batteries. I told him to take one and give another to Mini. Travis assured me he would never be more than a few steps away from Mini. I yielded to his sense of parental duty. While I was watching the great elk debacle unfold, I saw Travis go over the top of the mountain, solo. I watched for Mini to see if he would follow a few paces behind, but he didn't. There were trees that covered much of the patterns of these two flat landers, I had to make sure nothing went wrong. You also need to remember, I am watching 100 head of elk and wanting to keep tabs on them. Evidently Travis came back from the backside of the mountain while I was looking at elk. I watched Mini walk up and down the mountain in the open and then East sad West alternately. It is at this point I am starting to wonder about Travis's parenting, as I worry Mini is alone walking I circles. This is the 7 mm-08 malfunction junction at its best, because I am watching Mini walking incircles to keep warm while Travis is having epic so-called rifle failure. At times I could see elk and Mini in the same field of view, no sign of Travis, no sounds of guns being fired. I always keep my radio on so when radio silence is broken, I can respond. It was at that time I heard a disparaging remark from Travis and that he and Mini were coming off the mountain. When he got back to the truck, he told me of the whole ordeal. I am sure the back of his head still smarts from the slap. I told him that I wouldn't tell him so, but like Custer refusing to take the Gatling to the Little Bighorn, Travis opted to leave the 300 with me at the truck...
