We are less than a month away from deer and antelope season. 

I am behind this year. I still haven't decided what rifle I'm going to use. I'll go through my camping stuff over the next couple days.

How are you guys coming along?
I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

all set here.

any luck on finding a new camp site?  less fleas and mouse (maybe there are so many that we should call then moose).

Got my 260 ready, but also thinking of taking the 300 RUM with 180grs for looong range.

03A3 is ready for olde timer shoot off...Trail Boss

We're ready too I think. We all reshot to check Zero's.
I think I'll take Josie and have her shoot the gong at 250 and 300 just to show her she can do it.

7x57 AI. 24" Ruger
Her Howa 20" Grendel would be just fine BUT the wind and 300 Yards can challenge a 6.5 Grendel.

I have a new camping spot in mind. I might go out a day earlier than usual to beat everyone else to the spot. If someone else is there I'll find another place. I agree that the prairie dogs have moved into our old camp.

I haven't decided yet between the 6.5X55 and a .308. The .308 is a lot lighter to carry around.

Sadly, I've noticed the weight of my rifles for a couple years now.

We can't go back.   keep the memories and move along.

Everytime I fish or hunt I try to enjoy it even more knowing next year I might not be up to the task.
