People who shoot 30-06’s know they can hit an animal in the right spot to kill it. Therefore a larger caliber is superfluous and would be just for show.

4 mile hike this morning with a medium pack and 3 pups (not in the pack)

No, never worried about that. The humidity is very low here in Colorado.

I figured it was a bean bag gun just to scare him away. He was shooting up in the air after the bear left for additional effect.

Another way to save ammo $$$ is to practice with a .22. Much cheaper and you can practice different shooting positions, etc.

Yeah … ya gotta practice, practice, practice. I shot so much over the last year I burned out my barrel and had to replace it before my Antelope hunt. There’s no substitute for practice.

^^ How was your elk hunt ?

I got some exercise hunting Antelope the last couple of days.

I got my Antelope 30 minutes after sunup the first morning of the season. Couldn’t have found such a great spot to set up camp and hunt without Colorado Cowboy who came along as my “guide”. He’s an awesome friend who I really enjoyed sharing a campfire with. Thx CC !!

It’s a beautiful mount … congrats again !!

5 mile hike this morning with 2 pups. Leaves are changing … very nice!

I’ve found my friends V3 model to be very useful and I ordered one for myself a couple of days ago.

I thought you could, but now that you've got me really thinking about it, I guess I'm not sure. Great question! I'll be watching this thread for the answer too. (y)

^^ I Agree … very sad

I was on a spring grizzly near hunt in Alaska once and after watching a sow with 2 large cubs until dark I was hiking back to my tent in pitch black when a patch of alders exploded right next to me. I thought a Grizzly was about to jump me but it was a moose that ran right past me.

That's late !!

Sounds like a great family hunt !! Nice bucks too 👍

Great bucks & cool bear !!

Or maybe it’s that drinking thing … 😉

Good luck
