Well it was an interesting year and stressful year. Rewind 3 weeks before hunt. People that know me know that I shoot long distance quite a bit even have my own course I shoot by my house. I started shooting suppressed last year and to be honest not sure if it contributed to my issues last year but we missed alot of animals, too close that i'm use to. For elk and deer. Before the suppressor we were 18 for 18 on deer on my 300 win mag from 400-800 yds. With suppressor we missed quite a few. It really messed my head up. Well i headed to the range just to check and make sure i have a perfect zero and first shot i blew my suppressor off my rifle 50 yards down the range. I was extremely happy my son and I were not harmed. See the suppressor in the pic. Well here we are short time before hunt and now i have to re-zero, re-chrono, Check long range on the mtn again. What a mess. Well I was able to get this close as possible for my hunt and hoped for the best. Day 1 on the hunt and its flat out cold. Its my 2 kids and by neighbor who is a Pilot at Luke. Good guy. We found some deer but no bucks today. Day 2 and my oldest boy finds a buck at 840 yds and its a go. We set up and 1 shot he hammers the buck and its down. My 2 boys head over to get the deer and my neighbor and I stay and keep glassing. Well I glass over to the ridge over and I see a giant Mtn lion, and its going right where the deer is junior just shot. I jump on my 300 and my neighbor ranges 500. I have severe buck fever and am shaking. I take a shot and just below. He continues to walk slow and is under a tree at 540. I take my time and BOOM he takes hit (i believe) and hunches and jumps and straight down the hill where my sons deer is. Long story short, never find the lion. Day 3. No bucks in the moring. Later in the evening Junior and neighbor go out on there own and make a nice 330 yd shot. Long night for them Now day 4 with 1 more tag to fill. My youngest son. During the day we come across this bear two times. Click on the Bear Video Link Bear Video.MOV Last light I glass the buck up at 740 yds. My son jumps on the 300 and our scope is 5-25 power. At 25 power you couldnt see at all so we had to move down to 15. I said Dylan can you make a good shot that a long shot at 15 power. He said Dad I'm good and steady. I said OK let her rip. 1 shot and the deer rolled down the mtn. Was a great trip with my boys again. Late night that day and we had Green chile and Fresh deer backstrap when back. f

Just to let you guys know. My suppressor is a Silencerco and I sent it to them and it was repaired and back in my house in 7 days with no questions asked. Thats amazing to me. -

Not 100% sure. I screwed it on and it felt weird. So I backed it off and put it back on and felt normal and locked it. Did the same thing I have done 500 times before. Then boom!!!. But obviously it wasnt on right and the bullet came out at an angle. Scary chit. -

I have been cold the last 2 times out. Temps were only down to the low 40's. I'm looking for a rectangular one for the wife to buy me for fathers day. Any reccomendations on one that will keep me warm if temps get down to the 20's..

Going back up tonight for 5 days for my sons bull tag. Hopefully we can seal the deal. Got on 1 solid 6 opening day last week but couldnt seal it. On many elk after that but no shooters. This week might just be a freezer filler. Rut dying down. Any one else up there?

Long story short. My sons hunt. Missed a good bull at 30 yds, he hit a branch. Got on 4-5 decent bulls with in 80 and just couldnt seal the deal. Very frustrating. 2 bulls came into calls and just a no-go. Bulls bugle for first hour and zip. We had a few chances and the boy just couldnt seal it. Rained all day today but got on a nice 6 this morning. Called bull to 55. Just needed a few more steps and a rag 4 came flying in aggressive and messed the whole thing up. Have 1 more day. Biggest bull so far is 320ish. Fun hunt but we blew it.
