I am scouting my deer & elk area (again!) between 2 & 3rd seasons. Like it that there are more days break between seasons now. I have a 4th season tag and thought I'd take another look as it's only about 75 mile north of my home place.

In a heartbeat!

Your Lab is sayin "Gimme a kiss" LOL!

I shot a buck deer many years ago that was a stag (no balls). His horns were still in velvet and really deformed and he was really fat. Not chasing does, just eating. One of the best eating deer I have ever shot. Never know, he could have been sterile.

You guys did well. I love the picture of your son and his antelope. He is one happy dude.

I just finished watching the revue on the new Weatherby 2.0. It weighs with scope just over #8. I was curious how much my new Ruger #1B weighs. I weighed it with scope, mounts and muzzlebrake, #9 4 oz. I was pretty surprised that it was as light as it was. Can't go to the range until maybe...

Thanks Buddy, back at you with the same, can't wait until 4th season to get together again.

For sure. I am going to be 80 this Friday and the harder I try, I just realize that what I used to be able to do physically, it just doesn't happen that way any more. I work within my capabilities and don't try doing some of the things (lifting heavy stuff, drinking and eating too much, etc) I...

I was born & raised in southern California, lived there 58 year till I retired in 2000. My Dad owned several duck clubs in Imperial Valley. I used to hunt a lot at Tule Lake. We have some pretty good goose hunting here, almost all Canadians.

I have never shot one, but I have a friend that does. He told me they taste pretty fishy, like a Merganser.

Looks like a hen surf duck or scooter by the looks of the bill. Really big feet too.

Same here. Forecast is for everything south of I-70 and west of i-25.

Everyone planning on hunting 2nd rifle season better be prepared for snow and muddy ground. This current storm has already dumped almost 1/2" of rain in the last 2 hours at my place near Cortez. It is forecast to last most of the day so we could get a lot more moisture.

Glad you got it shooting!

One thing I noticed is that there are more non hunting days between seasons. Usually 4th season opens on a Wednesday after 3rd season closed on Sunday. This year there are 2 extra days, opens on Wednesday but 3rd season closes the Friday before. 4 days separation instead of 2 days. Should help...

I got the survey online and answered it. It really doesn't got far enough so I wrote quite a bit in the comments area.

Just finished neck sizing the brass that I fired in the new Ruger #1. It all fits fine.

I am going to do some reloading today. I am going to try neck sizing some of the brass that has already been shot in the Ruger. I also am going to do some tweeking on the screw holding the forend to the action. It is now tight, I will loosen it 1/4 turn and see if it effects the groups. Then...

I didn't mention in my op that I do all my own butchering and processing. I debone everything and do not saw any bones, especially the backbone. I also do not leave any fat or glands in the meat.
