    NonVoter Shame

    Lake's initial hard stance on abortion is what sunk her. That was the only thing that they used against her- her other conservative principals were aligned with Trump's agenda. Sad loss- we needed that additional senate seat.

    After his first deer hunt last year (unsuccessful) I put my grandson in for the youth hunt. He drew a cow tag in 4A. We scouted a couple of times and he was excited to see them up close. We got there on Wed before the hunt and drove some roads and saw elk. Thursday am I woke him up and there were elk 75 yds. from camp- he was shocked. That evening drove around and saw more elk. Friday- opening morning we left camp and were into elk but too far away for a shot. We tried following them but couldn't catch up with their quick walk. That evening hunt we didn't see anything. Saturday - AM hunt was uneventful but we did help another group with some tracking but trail was lost. PM hunt driving to where we were going to sit a herd ran across the road about 200 yds ahead of us and dropped into a steep draw area. I told him that's where we were going to sit for the evening as I figured they would come back up there to graze and hit water. After sitting there we heard some cow yelps and moved 250 yds towards the sound. after a few minutes I spotted a cow starting thru a small clearing. It went thru too quickly. The next one by was a spike. Another cow stepped into the clearing and stopped - he was steady and drawn as I waited for the shot- didn't happen. I think we had a slight case of buck fever- that was all we saw of that small group. A few minutes later we heard bugling and cows where we were initially and headed back over there. The herd was moving back across the road where they had first crossed and dropped into another draw. I told him we probably wouldn't catch up but he was insistent to follow. We ended up a ways from the road and they had stopped in another meadow area. We slow footed towards them and ended up about 100 yds from the herd. We waited for a cow to enter a clearing and the rest is history - except for the quartering and pack out. Congrats Mason Burns

    Everyone NEEDS to kick in and prevent what would be the end of our freedoms as we know them. Most hunters probably realize this, but millions of gun owners (according to analysists) either don't vote or understand the ramifications of a lib/prog reign for 4 more years. We NEED to get more involved if we want to keep our freedoms. If you know any gun owners not registered to vote or don't understand things, we need to help them see things honestly as most of the media is omitting facts and outright lying to America. Lets ALL get more involved and get this done! Sitting on the sidelines won't help. Vote RED

    Camper shell in truck bed with air mattress- no fires unless with grandson- sometimes a 10x10 fold out canopy.

    Mason used my 50 year old wood stocked Remington 700 ADL in 30.06. My handloads were Hornady 150 gr interlocks. He took a head on shot at 90 yds and hit upper chest area. She went about 15 yards and dropped there. Thanks for all the positive replies.

    My 16 yo grandson has a youth cow elk hunt next month. I'm undecided on having him use a 243 Win with 100 gr bullets, which he shoots well or having him use a 30/06 with 150 gr bullets. He has never shot the 06. We have some range time coming up this weekend.

    I love the back and forth these discussions provoke. lol- We hit the range and he did fine with the '06. We'll do a couple more range outings but I think we got answer. 150 gr Hornady Interlock reloads coming up.
