On my elk hunt in Jardine, Montana in October of 2008, IIRC, I flew into Bozeman on Sunday Drove to Jardine on Monday. The following Friday it was 71 degrees in Jardine. In fact it was warmer there in Jardine than it was in Miami Florida that day.
I came out of the cabin where I was staying that was on a ledge about 30' high, which overlooked the corral where they kept the horses. All I had on was a pair of boots, a hat, and my tighty-whities. I told them to heck with waiting for the elk to come down out of Yellowstone, I was gonna get a suntan. I guess maybe the horses hadn't seen a mostly nekkid short fat bald old white fart before. Almost caused a stampede.



Best,

Slow day here along The Milford,as Winter has REALLY set in and sank it's claws early.

Though I am glad to see the lawn burned off and finally turned all brown.



Wind weren't helping me any,this early afternoon.



It did simmer however,a bit later in the afternoon...way up high.




Installed the Full Choke tube,if only for curiosity.





I'll feign my "surprise",that the usual Cast of Do Nothing [bleep] ain't turned a [bleep] lick and the Texans think they have. Laffin'!

BEST Thread Evah!

Very nice group B, symmetrical, centered.

I've noticed over time that nobody ever hits the dime. Or the dot.

I will work on that, promise. Where can I order up one of those full choke tubes?

PS: Ya burnin' charcoal in that thing?

Somebody told me once that he uses H335...about the same thing....

Thought it was floor sweepings from the Hogdon Hugeden Hodgdon plant?

Might be H335. It do that thing with the neck fouling and dirty bullet hole for low pressure or fire form loads. It don't do it when you crank up the volume, least it doesn't for me.

Got any tips on how to miss the dime Poobah?

I've also seen TAC smoke necks like that on fireform loads.

Pictures of my accomplishments? My accomplishments are best viewed in person. You ladies may find it fitting to stage your participation trophy photos on all sorts of scenic back drops but that is somewhat cheating IMHO. You want to see what I do and have done you must come for the ride and nobody rides for free. Any day that your interested I'll give a tour around the ol' dismal swamp.

Elks, if you put the tool box in the back you'll be able to close the tailgate.

Da** now you tell me!

How does someone sign up for this tour?

Is a sack lunch provided?

If the tour guides are named "Skipper" and "Gilligan" RUN!

Me and MaryAnne will be fine.

I'm kind of excited about going on a tour.

Take LOTS of pics ok SLM.

Thinking "twigbow" is a little bashful,well here is one to boost your confidence.

Still bashful "twigbow" here's another.

Yer one of them Group W Bench peeps, hey?
