Hoss50- make yours a fun hunt

I might be tempted to add the 3200 bag, load sling and some straps, (on sale for 30% off the next few days) to your Kuiu frame. I like the Kifaru Gun Bearer too.

Hunt starts in a week. Getting anxious. Went out shooting yesterday to 400 yards and checked the B&C hash marks and POI off the bipod and 150 TTSX. GTG. You know how it is with a newish, virgin rifle ;-)

We do not have any snow on the ground now. Supposed to get some moisture next Monday, but snow level may be about 9000'. I would not use a hoochie mama fora call. Glassing from a high spot is a good tactic for that late rifle hunt. Even though there may be no snow, if it is real muddy, tire chains are good to have.

Dan, congrats on a busy trifecta. I only drew a javelina tag this spring - unit 21 for the general hunt.

I am hoping results will be posted later this week. I have no insider info, just wishful thinking.

Since picking up a digital camera in 2009, I have been fortunate to go to southwest Colorado four times to spend a week in the golden aspens. The first evening this year at Dallas Divide had nice clouds rolling over the peaks. Rest of the week had a night with snow, a day of 50mph winds, a few colorful sunsets, warm sunny days, and a chance to meet up some photographer friends. You're welcome to take a look at a collection of the week's images on my photography website. http://www.plateaulightphotography.com/Landscapes/Coloradolandscapes/Colorado-Fall-Colors-2016/

I wonder if the LGS will be open late tonight if Hitlairy wins? I see a S&W in my future

Nice curled fronts. Not envious of the pack out though, but looks like some young legs were along too ;-)

I took a once-folded washcloth and laid atop the front bag for cushion. Some have said it helps with a light rifle.

Does look a wee tad mucky, but those deep back forks are a great override.

It was a nice sunny afternoon here in Flag with little wind, so I took the 30-06 and a variety of factory loads to a local pit to shoot at 100 yards. It looks like the Barnes factory load with the 150 TTSX was its favorite. I tried with and without a doubled washcloth over the front bag. I did not hold the forearm. Barnes factory 150TTSX (3 shots without cloth) Barnes factory 150TTSX (3 shots with cloth) Barnes factory 168TTSX, (5 shots with called pull) Federal Premium 180 Copper (4 shots without cloth) I also tried Nosler factory loads with the 168 e-tip and 180 e-tip. Results were abysmal and not worth to photo.

The snow did not get very low on the peaks. The SnowBowl webcam did not show any this morning at the bottom of the lifts.

I have a pending $25, but both javelina and turkey would be $25, so who knows.

Nice double. Congrats on a good hunt

Trophy smile and deer. Congrats.

i have a 1" wheeler set you can borrow.

The bedding has cured and low DD rings swapped in for the too-high mediums, so went out yesterday afternoon with 10 rounds to shoot and cure the Ultra Bore Coat. When letting the barrel cool between rounds, I figured that I may as well bore sight it. Removed the bolt and centered an object while looking down the bore, and adjusted the reticle. Good or go now as it was busting rocks at 100 yards offhand, sitting, and kneeling for the next 7 rounds. It should be pie plate accurate now and ready for the 1000 yard "if lead don't fly" club (reference to other thread in the long range forum) Looks like 20mph winds and rain for the next few days, so the official sighting-in and load testing will have to wait until next week.

That looks real nice!

Lefty looks pretty ambidextrous to me. Great pair of bucks for your work.

Nice trio of bucks; nice reward
