Congrats to you and your beautiful finace, wishing the two of you a lifetime of happiness together.

Yup, second that.

Don't really have one, seems almost all of my kills except a very few and been solo so it's just been a chore to pack them up and get back to camp. Take a picture or two usually followed by some beers back at camp.

I flew SW to Long Island a couple of months ago with a borrowed case (Thank you Metu) and it was pretty simple. Go check in at the baggage counter. Let them know you have a firearm and they will tell you which line to get on, once you check in and they take you regular bags they will direct you to go a TSA checkin counter about 50 feet away. There the TSA person will swab down the outside of the case. Once done you fill out a quick piece of paper then open the case just enough to slide it inside and you are done. TSA will then take the case and you will be on your way. The whole thing took less that 15 minutes. Once you get to your destination you will probably need to go to baggage claim to pick it up or a baggage handler will bring it out to you as it didn't come up on the turnstile with the other bags.

Pretty much the same thing every year.

Sounds like you know the unit fairly well so it's no secret that every corner of it holds elk. Just go hunt it. When he gets one down post it up and if you need help packing it out a few will volunteer.

Only thing I will add is anything that is not bio-degradeable will get absorbed through your skin and go to your liver. I hear guys say things like I use Hoppes No9 as aftershave but Sweets is some nasty, but effective, stuff. Pay attention to to your rifle and how cleaning works for it, everyone is different if you are a good enough marksman to take advantage of it and be consistent.

GOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Did I just step into a 1985 time warp?????

Happens. They are probably all facing north.

I hate going to the airport because they only sell that and Peets coffee. Both taste like burnt treebark and kerosene.

Not much of a cat fan either but this is a cool cat. https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/may/15/cat-saves-boy-from-dog-attack-video

Very cool, I can tell by the smiles it was a great time with memories to last forever.

Great deal on the perfect caliber.

Sad.

Looks like one I came across in Unit 29 years ago, which also burned down.

Why are these still for sale? If I didn't already a pair I'd buy these.

They have always been my go to primer.

Yup.

I used to do some construction project with a Super who said his brother ran cattle up there and i think they had a family ranch up there years ago. He used to guide for Coues and had his own outfit. I don't think he still does it since he bought a good sized ranch in Mexico and it had been a few years since we have talked but I remember him bringing in racks on occasion that went over 110 ans this was in the 80's and 90's. I always wanted to go but at the time he was getting more for a hunt then guides are charging now and there was no way I could do that.

Years ago my son and I rented a room in the lodge at Hannigan Meadow and there was a book written by I believe some local women that had a short excerp about the attack.

Those poppers were a nice surprise chef. Thanks Adam.

Up on the Blue.

Are they more desireable than Magpul?

Not easy to find. http://www.sgammo.com/product/adi-outback/200-round-case-308-adi-outback-ammo-165-grain-soft-point-sierra-game-king-aob308
