Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Things an observer can learn if they hang out here

I'm sure it was!

Take it you're going to have a bear rug in the house now?

Elk. No gave it to the hunting partner I already have two. He wanted way more that I. It was a great pelt he will be happy for a long time.

What was the bruin cooking for breakfast??

We are in the middle of an amazing Swedish fish run.
It's almost time for 15 year old look at me pictures. LOL.


Blackberry cobbler and slough berries looked to be on the menu. A lead injection ruined everyone's appetite. Only seen one branch bull this morning and about 30 deer.

I called dibs for the nephew on the middle buck.

That is great,Fred!

Oh, January, OK. Texas has two seasons: Summer and January.

Those 210 at 140 yards poke a hole.

Gross. You actually shoot animals? What's wrong with you? : )

Wow! I imagine it so deeply you can see it as well. Not the biggest but it will eat well and saving fawns and calves is always a bonus.

Closer to hunting Season, large group of guys asking what scope to buy. Same ol shiet. I have a budget of 100$ And want top notch quality.
endless discussion

Fred, the 7 WSM was let to eat on a nice 225-250 #er yesterday at 578yds via my buddies 13 yo kid as he didn't feel his win 70 .308 and vxii 3-9 was up to the task despite my ensuring him it would. Should have taken video as the conversation leading to the shot was likely epic and ended after the shot with me telling him to wipe the jhizz off my rifle and the smile off his face. Bastard thought 578 was difficult and couldn't believe it was just a small correction for wind and elevation.

Little bastard offered me $750 for it and couldn't believe he needed to add a zero IF he could talk me into selling it. He seriously thought a GAP rifle and Kahles scope "couldn't be worth much more then $1k new". Damn kids these days.....

Shot was quartering behind inside shoulder and out the throats and yogi simply dropped. That 180 ELD is still flying for all I know and terminal performance was nails.

Still need to find me a bear worth burning a tag on here soon.

Love it, post some pictures. 750$ for a gap priceless. Lol.

My wsm should be here really soon it's getting coated then bedding and in my hands.

I'll see if my buddy has any, I was too busy trying to find a route out of the hell hole we shot it in to pay attention to what if any pictures got taken. Seeing shootbale game talks a guy into dumb [bleep]. Shot was from one ridge over the top of a finger with a sheer cliff to the far ridge. Only route to the near was straight up and down x2 ridges each way. The things a normally somewhat sane guy will do for a kid to burn a tag. Shot the bear at 0635 am and back to the truck at 1645, my back is still in protest as I was adamant we do the pack in one trip.

Good times but I need to start hunting them in areas with atleast closed logging roads to drag atleast the game cart down though I prefer my old yard cart for game hauling on flat ground.

May take a stab at it again Sunday if I can con someone into going with me.

I'm playing hooky and giving a stab in the am.

No bear but dad drilled a pup. The Nightforce creedmoor whacked the little guy.

My kinda cowboy hat. Guy makes them from local woods. Pretty amazing wood work. He will even make them sized to fit.

This one fits momma perfectly.





Eating some fair grub then chasing some swine this evening.

Ha, that's awesome!

Fredman, that hat is nuts.


Your wife certainly appears to approve!

Looks like the creed hit with plenty of ass left in the bullet. Currently working up a pair of 6 Grendel's with my old man that we built a few weeks ago. It's a blast for sure spending time with that old bastard.

The hat is very impressive but I drop em too often so it probably wouldn't last me long.
