Thanks everyone! That looks like a great time.
There are new knives? Yep. It took me a while to get around to it but updated my grinder and got back to work. See my posts in knives and blades. Good stuff. What caliber is she shooting?
260 Remington

That looks like good family time to me.
Looks like you did good on your tent. I hope you have more hunts with your family useing that tent.
Congratulations, I hope he eats well.

That's awesome! Congratulations to both of you! You better bleach that skull out for her and hang it in the garage, if she won't allow it in the house! One of those "skull hookers" would work great and look really nice, and it won't break the bank!! A tanned hide with hair on would look good over the banister too! (or put on the floor in a room!) Oops, now that's a little more spendy, but would be really neat also! How am I doing so far to assist?
He's going to be great eating too. Nice job!

Great story and congrats to your wife! Sadly, your hunting career is quickly coming to an end. You've been relegated to packer status!

Too many calibers and not enough time for the working man to hunt with them all.

Good deal! I may need some negotiating pointers in how to get from a cabin rental to a wall tent purchase. Good score!

Cool, and congrat's!
The Moose are rutting here... watched a bull yesterday sniffing a cow. She was very receptive, but she spotted us and the consummation was postponed. He was a BIG Shiras, maybe as much as 45". A smaller bull was hanging out as understudy in case the big boy died of a heart attack... now if I can just draw a darn tag.

Fantastic and congrats to the both of you. Thanks for sharing the hunt.
Glad to hear the 260 worked great as moose medicine. Some darn nice looking blades also.

Congratulation to her on her moose and great shooting. Lots of good eating .

Nice, looks like a good eating bull, heck it even looks a lot like the moose (elk) they shoot in Sweden Norway and Finland with 6.5 x55's.

A .260 can't kill a moose. At least mine can't. But next time I carry it moose hunting, I'm hoping to trip the trigger. OK- I killed an elk with mine, using 140 gr plain-janes, but that's different. My wife took one with a .243, 100 grain plain-jane at @80 yards thru both lungs. Moose walked about 50 feet and fell over. Pretty sure the moose wasn't able to tell the diff between that and my .338. Congrats on the moose, a good hunt, and posting the story/pics.

Congratulations, you did it right with the kids and in-laws and wall tent. Love the pics, especially the second one.
