I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Nice work long ball! Good to see some meat harvested!

I haven’t forgotten that antelope hunt we discussed 5 years ago and I am still appreciative of the information you gave me. With the kids at age 2 and 5 I figure we’re 3-4 years away from the littlest being able to tag along. As soon as we feel he could make a stalk without talking or howling at the moon (he’s a wild one and 100% boy) we’ll try to make that happen. This was the first guided hunt I’d been on and it was great. From listening to people talk around the camp/lodge/whatever, their experiences varied wildly depending on which guide they had. Suppose we got lucky with the guy we drew. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Impressive!I used to load a 140 gr Barnes into m .264 Win Mag. was the most consistent load and my Remy 700 BDL with a German scope just loved it. I never hit anything but paper with mine, as I shot it for years in Europe on ranges. When I returned to hunting in the States mostly in Kentucky, it was back to my Marlin 336 lever gun (.35 Remy) where 50 meters was your average shot. I did drop a 6-pt once at a bit over 100 meters with it, but secretly always wanted to make a 500+ yard kill with my .300 WM.MIL?? Was your wife on the hunt as well? Was that her pic? That's pretty cool.

That's pretty cool.The .264 Win Mag is an awesome caliber. I have a pre cross bolt safety 336 in my safe that’s chambered in .35Rem. It has one of the discontinued Bushnell Elite 2-7x32 scopes on it and it is a fantastic combination. The hunt was just myself, my father in law, and my mother in law. My wife stayed here in Alabama to take care of the kids and her 99 year old grandmother. I would not have taken such a long leave of absence from her and the kids but she insisted I take her dad out there. It started out just he and I but he felt bad about going out there without his wife. That being said, it’s not unusual for her and I to go hunting together. I do a lot of hunting during the week because of my work schedule and she’s retired so sometimes I’ll just swing by her house and pick her up on the way to the property.
