Avoid the mess, stay home.... I refuse to go out of town on those holiday weekends.

The peaks is a motor vehicle restricted area so your boots are the main travel source un less you have horses. It is a tough hunt for sure.

Tough hunt. There are alot of roads so alot of road hunters. Find water and get away from roads. I had the late rifle cow hunt there last year which is a week after the bull hunt. I saw 0 bull elk on my hunt. It can be done but you better get deep and know your rifle. We took 2 cow elk last year. The shortest shot was 260 yards.

If you are looking for a shop to do it talk to Jeremy at fly-n-hi. Tell him Harley Sent you.

It is a really odd condenser motor, that is the problem. Most condenser motors are much smaller HP. 3/4HP is more typical of a blower motor.

They don't have enough pop to kill a cat. A pellet gun has way more pop.

If it is a Carrier and you need parts let me know too. I can probably help out with that too. If the other guys don't work out let me know and I will get you my a/c guys number.

I have a good guy who will do north valley. If you want his name let me know. I sell a/c units wholesale to contractors so if it is to far gone and you need a new system get ahold of me.

I am interested in the spotting scope. Is it scope only or does it have any accessories with it?

I will let you know. I need to get time to load the rounds and get it on paper well first. Once I get that dialed I will probably enlist your help to fine tune it. Thanks Lance.

I drew another cow elk tag which is awesome. I took my 257 weatherby last year and it did well for me, but I am thinking about stepping up a little in size since I have an excuse to upgrade another rifle. My dad was the king of cheap scopes so I have alot of rifles that need upgraded. Scope, muzzle brakes, potentially triggers, etc. Accurizing. I have a Ruger M77 with the switch safety in 7mm Rem. Mag and a weatherby vanguard in 300 weatherby sitting in the safe. Both need new scopes and some load development at minimum , and the 300 will need a muzzle break. Which way would you lean? The 7mm was my dad's first rifle, but the weatherby is the rifle he shot his only elk with. I am looking to build 1 for more of a medium range hunting rifle say to about 500-600 yards but have a little more energy out at that range than my 257 weatherby has. I love my 257 and I will shoot it to 500 with no issue but not on and elk, even a cow elk. It did great at 300yds on my cow last year but I wouldnt shoot it on an animal that big past about 300.

It is a good thing that cat wasn't a few miles north where my buddy lives. It probably would have been darted with a broadhead.

Up on the peaks that late in the year?

If it doesn't work out let me know please. Thanks Harley

I picked up some 168gr berger hvlds the other day and I picked up a grind to fit recoil pad today. I spent some time this afternoon fitting it up. It is a limbsaver small grind to fit. It just needed thinned out on each side. It wasn't really hard. The angle grinder with a flap wheel did pretty well at thinning it out without butchering it to much. It isn't a pro quality job but turned out pretty well. The brass is in the tumbler now getting clean and hopefully tomorrow I might be able to load some sight in rounds and a ladder test with h1000 and the bergers. Then it's off to the range soon. I even went semi-Kenyon and weighed all the brass to get the 50pcs. am going to load within about 2 grs.

Very nice price on a good gun. I have been rehabbing my dad's that is exactly like this one.

On my late cow hunt there last year we didn't see a single bull. Saw cows almost every day but no bulls. That hunt is a week after the bull hunt though so they are probably in deep hiding still. The weather can play a big role in that hunt. Scout hard and have fun. I will be on the same cow hunt this year too.

Did the elk wonder into their camp? Why would the gut piles be in camp?Not sure. We dumped my cows gut pile with there's. I didnt gut mine onsite because I was in a place we hoped to hunt more and didn't want the pile there and it was getting dark quick so we opted to load her up and do everything in camp. We caught the gut pile in a big plastic tote and dumped it off in the same place the other guys did.

archery or rifle? We had the cow hunt there last year and as we pulled in a group pulled out from the late rifle bull hunt. There were 3 gut piles and hides in there camp. It can be done for sure. Harley

I am glad this isn't in 7x57 otherwise I might be in trouble with the wife...

Last year my .257 weatherby served me well and may still get the nod to go on the hunt this year, but I am going to start load development on a new rifle too. I am going to get my dad's first rifle, a Ruger M77 in 7mm Rem Mag, to hopefully make it this years elk killer. I picked up some 168gr. Berger HVLD's that I am going to load up and hopefully get to shoot well. It would be nice to put an elk down with Dad's rifle. He only ever put a couple deer down with this one. Harley

See you out there.

There are bad teachers for sure, but there are not enough teachers to go around. There is a shortage of tea hers right now because nobody wants to teach anymore. They are underpaid and have to put up with too much crap. My wife wants to quit weekly. The only thing she has ever wanted to do for a career is teach. She is ready to give it up because of they stuff she has to deal with on a daily basis from kids, parents, staff, and administration.

I liked how he said you can buy a gun and have it shipped to your door. He is obviously well informed.
