They will most likely send out an email or post something just prior to them starting the process.

Steller.

That's great. Now what are the chances of both guys being from Vail and finding this Forum.

Great story and pictures. Congrats.

They also lost the hides from my son and daughters first deer hunt. Acted like it was no big deal and said they didn't keep track of which tannery they sent the hides too. They weren't too thrilled about giving back my deposit either. This was in 99 or 2000 so maybe they have gotten better.

I'm not sure if they are even available anymore and I checked all the usual places. Nosler seems to be pushing the Accubonds.

Nice shooting. Is that a Tikka?

Congrats. That's a heck of a story.

Actually I'm just waiting for the story Bud.

I saw a pic of a spike someone shot and posted on FB.

I bone them out in the field and ice them down when I get back to camp. At home I pick through the meat to get any dirt or hair out then rinse it off and brine it overnight in a bucket of ice water. This gets out 90% of the smell. Then I drain the meat and put it in a couple of big bowl covered with plastic wrap with a corner left open to breathe. I leave it in the fridge for up to 10 days and it starts to break down and get tender. Then I'll cook some and freeze the rest.

Great story and pictures.

Very cool. Congrats all the way around.

Nope. Hope to never deneragrate to that level.

Fixed it for you.

Sounds like one of the episodes from last year.

Get out before sunrise and stay out all day until sunset and you'll find them. Nothing better than a snooze under the shade of a mesquite about 10:30. They tend to bed from 9:30-11:30 and again from 1-3:30.

Go for it. I personally would have no problem using it out to 200 yards. Heck, it has more energy at 200 than the 7.62x39 has at 150. My shots at WT have been from 25 yards to 300.

When my Y2K F250 Crew Cab Diesel hit 90K I put on a set of Bilsteins and the recovery going through a dip in the road towing a 23' TT was immediate. Before that it would rock and roll quite a bit. I know have 265K without any issues or leaks. I bought them in about 2003. From Here. http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm

Great write up Adam, felt like I was there with you the whole time.

I guess I'm probably the only kid that ever got one and didn't like it. I was probably 7 or so and I remember shooting it into the fence in the back yard and the BB's just bounced off. I gave it back to my Mom and they took it back to the store.

You are dressing way to much. Get a physical. Start earlier. Take your time. When you start to sweat, stop and cool down. Loose the hat. Heat rises. Save that sweating for the gym. But most of all. Here it comes,,, Don't hike to the point where you sweat, unless it on a final, imperative stalk (not stock) or back to camp to get that last beer.

Probably pretty good if you're sitting against a big tree.
