We have been blessed with good kids for sure! Never has been a competition for game and they enjoy watching stuff get hunted and being the glasser as much as being the one the trigger. The only exception was last year, my son did a ton of work to find a very nice bear in a very $hiT hole canyon.. him and I went in the next weekend (I think his 3rd or 4th trip in there and my 2nd) and I don't think there was a chance in he77 that he was going to give up the gun on that one and I wasn't about to even ask.. he put in all the effort, I got enjoy the stalk and kill through 15s! Other than that, it's a chip and dale usually.. "you go, no you go... "

Just made 65lbs of summer sausage and 5lbs of jerky out of last years 4 pigs and haven't had anyone yet say anything but good and can I have more. 5 in the cooler right now and thinking another batch of chorizo or breakfast sausage for 1/2 and then keep the rest of summer sausage toward the end of the year.

Congratulations and well done!! Love the commitment!

I'm hoping the G@F depts across the country are revisiting both muzzleloader regulations (1000 yard mls now) and handgun hunts. I'm assuming success rates have increased dramatically in both the last 5 years or so for all species. Not exactly as primitive as they once were.

That's me. I've been meaning to call Wes. I used to talk to him pretty regularly up until about a year and lost touch. I was at the savage plant last month and talked to a few guys about him He was spending a lot of time in ca but after he lost a few lines moved back here.

I was there from 92-03 (The Sportsman in the Pete Shepley days) and then Az Sportsmans when Glen and Shirley bought the then 3 stores in 93 from Pete (mesa, phx, and Glendale) then closed the West store and eventually opened the North store and bought the 2 Jensens stores in Tucson and eventually Shooters World. I managed the Camelback store for a year or two and then the Mesa store for 3 before I got out as the big boys were coming in and there was no way Glen was going to be able to last. I did a lot of the buying and ordering so Lots of shot shows and other buying shows along with rep and warehouse interactions and always enjoyed the products and customers. I still keep in touch with a few reps as well and started prostaffing for Vista outdoors the last 4-5 years and now with Savage since Vista sold them. I can't get industry out of my blood.

Thanks all. Back at work and found the picture of the first time we did it 3 years ago so added. 2 years ago my sons were skinning theirs as I was getting on mine so no picture of the 3 together. Last year was rough with that snow on opening day and my one son and I played hooky on the first nice day and killed 2 and the other one made it a longer season but got it done the last weekend I think it was. Anyway, all good times and good luck to all!

I was going to say how brave of you to hunt pigs with only 2 arrows. Lol. Nicely done!

Just checking on the idea of chambering a round and then releasing the firing mechanism with the bolt... I get that it will not go off when releasing, but most bolt actions won't allow you to go to safety when not cocked therefore nothing blocking the firing pin from a potential slam fire. I get the idea of not relying on a safety to do this (hence don't carry with a round in either) but man that just seems like an accident waiting to happen. On some bolt actions, I've even seen the firing pin protrude a bit in a relaxed position, now you have the pin up against the primer... Would scare me more than relying on the safety actually. I might be way off on this one, but not something I have even considered doing.

+1 on paritions as long as you don't hit the shoulder.

I chamber when I'm closing in on animal or when ready to shoot. Not during typical carry to glassing location or back to vehicle etc
