No way the story is true. I have it on good campfire authority that all M700 bolt handles fall off, the only thing a Leupold is good for is a boat anchor, and Accubonds couldn't penetrate a coyote. Not to mention the .30-06 is too powerful/not powerful enough/too common/not a 6.5 creed or .223 AI. Nope, I'm not believing the story at all! And yet will all those disadvantages, he still got one....outstanding!

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Congrats Ted! Seems like that would have been a good advertising opportunity for your studinator, rifle-hanginator, strap-wart thingy!

That's fantastic Ted. That's a really cool deal. I'll go try and find that issue and read the details. I remember you posting that here.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Enjoyed the heck outa that! Tks for posting Ted and congrats on a heckuva trophy. Those well earned ones make for many a good memory.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Ted
That old ticker of yours seems to have healed well. I think your good to go after testing yourself on that exciting hunt. I too would be very proud of that bull. Heck I would be proud of a dink bull Elk. GW

Heck I would be proud of a dink bull Elk. GW Ted, I want to suggest that you drop off a few magazine copies to your surgeon's office. In this same vein (sorry about the pun, I cannot help it!), I think you should include this picture of yourself after your heart surgery! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/71348.jpg) Write on the magazine article something like " Look what I was able to do after Dr. xxxx fixed me up!" :-) Anyway, you write well and are an inspiration to many of us! John

Thanks guys but the aneurysm surgery came after that elk hunt.
I was hunting with that huge time bomb and didn't know it.
