Only thing bad is all the fire scar on the mtn behind from the 2020 Troublesome creek fire. It was bad! That was a bad one. The ridge shows that you were in the middle of it. How did the rest of the ranch fare? Lots of homes lost-bad deal. LHS

How did the rest of the ranch fare? Lots of homes lost-bad deal. LHS About 2/3’s of the ranch burned. But we lost no structures. One of the good things was my now late aunt who was ranch owner had started a pine beetle kill mitigation of lots of dead wood the year before. May have saved the south end of Grand Lake.

Congratulations, nice bulls! You made that sound too easy though. Those burn scars are kind of eerie, especially the ones right inside the park where the trees are all either blown over or snapped off in the same direction.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

Congratulations to you and your son! That old bull should have been proud to be shot with such a classy rifle.

Thanks again fellas!! Much appreciated. I wrote in an earlier post I had loaded IMR 4064. It was 56 grains of IMR 4350! Geez!
Anyway! Got it done.
