You want all three of them Jeff?

Had a burger on one of the side streets. I think they just have ice cream in the place now, and I've had a burger at Big Nose Kate's, wasn't to bad.

Don't think I would use a belt sander on a knife blade, myself. A lot of it has to do the the quality of the steel of your knife. Some of them can get pretty sharp and then be dull after you pick your finger nails. I have S30V steel on my hunting knife and it is only sharpened on a stone. You can tell if someone gets both edges right on a knife, it will about slice your finger tip off, when you check the blade. Helps to have a decent stone also!

Just about every bullet manufacturer makes a 140 grain bullet in .264, which one were you looking for?

When I was way younger I slept on the ground, then a cot, now it's an air mattress. The type that stands about a foot and a half tall. They come in different sizes. Just my opinion.

I don't know anyone that is independently wealthy. The one guy that I know that lives in the woods, was kicked to the curb by his ex wife long ago, and his employment last long enough to fund his next trip.

Most of the guys that I know that live in the woods are divorced and unemployed.

Kestrel, wind meter? Every now and again I see somebody with one. This is my opinion of them, so take it for what it's worth. They give you an indication of what the wind is doing where you are at, not down range where the target is. Say you have a 500 yard shot and the wind where you are at is from the left at 3mph, at 200 yards it it from the left at 6mph, no difference at 300 yards, at 400 yards it is from the right at 8mph, at 500 it really doesn't matter because your bullet is already there. If I have time, ie the animal doesn't know I'm there I'll take a look at what the wind is doing from about a 1/3 of the way to 1/2 of the way to the target. In my opinion that wind will affect your bullet more than where your at. If you can find a range that stretches out more than two hundred yards, even further the better, and take a look and see what the wind is doing through mirage or blowing trees, grass, it won't take long to having a feel what the wind is doing.

Here is one WW ll vet, that I was glad to meet. Clarence (Bud) Ollum. The 82ND Airborne Division had 4 combat jumps in WW ll, Bud made all 4. One of his buddy's is in Brokaws book, Gagne, who didn't make it back, Bud is mentioned in Brokaws second book. Passed away in 2009. He also had an interview in Military History Magazine, and there is a couple of YouTube videos of him.

A Friend of mine was telling me that he was talking to a guy who worked for a company in the mid west who went into towns that were over run with Deer and plugged them. He said that they used a .243 with the 85 gr Sierra HPBT (1530), never lost one, and killed them grave yard dead.

Red Wing 415 everyday use. Red Wing 2203 for work. Both have been resoled. I was told that Red Wings were heavy, hard to break in, but the most comfortable boot around, found that to be true.

I'm getting used to the new format. My post count is down also, must have filtered out the worthless ones.

Good job! That rifle screams Ruger 77 Mark ll. PM sent.

I have a 6.5 CM, but have never hunted with it, as a matter of fact I've owned two. My bud shot a big bodied Coues a few years ago with his 6.5 CM, he said it was ranged at 200 yards. I'm pretty sure he used some kind of Barnes bullet, and another bud shot a speed goat with his 6.5 CM last year in NM, ranged at 400 yards, he was using a Berger bullet. Both animals were deader than Julius Caesar.

Anyone ever take a drop tine. My buddy picked up a skull with a drop tine. I will see if I can get a pic from him. Pretty neat looking.

In this case it was someone else's!

Probably just the angle.

Here is the drop tine buck that my bud picked up.

Congrats!

My OCD's are kicking in why this gun will shoot one bullet, but not the other. I checked the latest Nosler manual and there is nothing listed for R-23 or H-1000. If you got your data from another bullet, that might or might not work. Do you have any of the powders listed?
