Anyone else have a new rifle to hunt with this fall?
Oh goodness yes. I have acquired two .338-06s, and a 9.3x62. Unfortunately they have to compete with some other pre-existing rifles that have some sentimental value driving the desire to hunt them this fall.
- I hope to use the .25-06 that I killed my first pronghorn with in 1991 for my AZ pronghorn hunt early this September (took 20 years to draw that tag!)
- I hope to use the 7mm RM that I killed my first mule deer with in 1990, for my Montana general deer tag this fall.
- I hope to use my Savage 99 .358 Win, that I have had for a while but never hunted or really done much work with, for my AZ cow elk hunt in late September.
That leaves a Montana deer B-Tag, and hopefully a Montana pronghorn tag (should find out later this week!) Maybe the Nine Three for the B-Tag and one of the .338's for the "goat?"
I'm 60. Not as many seasons in front of me as behind me. Going to concentrate on using "fun" rifles.
Cheers,
Rex
