    What are your 2026 Outdoor Plans

    I will be entertaining a couple female cousins of mine later this summer. It will be their first time to Idaho and leaving a city for the first time in years. I told them to bring old pants with holes in both knees, an old shirt two sizes too big, a worn out cowboy hat, and some kind of weapon...

    The 30-06 for many reasons.

    1970s Scopes

    You could always put a pre-70's scope on a 70's rifle and that should be kosher? If that is a thought, I have a vintage mid 1950's Kollmorgen 4X Bear Cub scope. My dad bought it new, if I remember right Redfield purchased Kollmogen and he sent it to them in the early 60's to have a new end lens...

    PSA: heavy tick season is here

    Tick removal..............A friend took out his wallet and used two credit cards held like playing cards with the tick in the V. With slight pressure he removed the tick in a few minutes!

    Cow elk rifle

    In my post #21 I was referring to the OP's #1 post in which his question was on two rifles and ammo. I was thinking of those rounds when I goofed and typed "any" which should have been either. The first sentence in post #22 is the point I was trying to make.

    Cattle for fire suppression

    In the spring a band of sheep will eat cheat grass right down to the ground, much better than cows when the need is for fire control.

    Cow elk rifle

    Any bullet that expands and passes through the boiler room means a dead animal. If I feel I cannot make that shot I do not shoot. Larger calibers etc are needed for those that make poor first hit shots IMHO.

    Another Legend Gone !

    With a life long hearing problem I could seldom understand the words of most songs due to loud instruments that covered the singers voice. Not so with David, he was always a favorite. RIP buddy.

    Cooler space

    My post #8 above was referring to my cousins transporting two elk from Idaho to New York. Since that was thirty years ago I phoned him to ask if he had any problems with the meat etc, he is way younger with the memory of an elephant. I am sure we talked about it then.....but my memory..... What...

    Cooler space

    Chest freezer and small generator, when thawed at home hang it to age since you will not have time in NM.

    Reloadable Snake shot

    A long time ago I loaded some 38 cases with #6 shot, 2400 powder and topped them with a gas check. You can also use wax if not exposed to hot weather. I shot from about 16" with no problems getting the snake, although one time it was close of him getting me.

    History Found In the Field

    Reference, Indian artifact..........back to the picture on post #182 and a few after. I have a sandstone piece about 7" in diameter, 3" high, with a grove around it 1" down from the top. I found this in a small creek that once had Steelhead and Salmon runs. An old timer in his late 80's told me...

    Does anyone know where to get the new Marlin 336 Classic from Ruger?

    I would trade my 336 Marlin 30-30 for a 35 or maybe sell it.

    Ever killed a bear with a pistol?

    Yep, I have. A black bear coming towards me and I fired as he was stepping over a log at roughly forty feet. A 357 reload of mine with a half jacket 158 grain Herter's bullet and 2400 powder out of a Ruger 6 1/2" barrel. I still have the slug, went through one lung and lodged in his backbone...
