Awesome … that’s a Tack Driver!!!!!!

9 mile hike this morning with a medium pack and 1 pup. A little more difficult with some very steep slopes between 9,500 and 11,000 ft.

Interesting insights memtb, thanks. I certainly do see the advantages of using the same rifle & load and really learning it’s ballistics, etc. It seems to be working well for you !

I’m glad you’re happy with your choice of caliber. I’m sure it works great. That’s awesome. I have a real question though … how can you guarantee that canon will cause less tissue damage than a .270?

5 mile hike this morning with a medium pack and 2 pups. All my hikes are around 9,500 ft or so.

As I said, I was joking guys. Maybe I hit a nerve. I agree with CC that there isn’t really “one gun” that suits all … at least not if you’re bringing Africa into the discussion. But for North America, the 30-06 will handle anything there is and is a pretty fair “one gun”. I do believe there is...

^^ Just poking fun back at Todd for hitting on the 30-06. Totally joking.

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)
