Gun Owning Smokers

I like that rig! What kind of chassis do you have on it?

It is a Rock Solid Stock made by Todd Reynolds out of Texas.

Added a cheap 38 my mother had in her attic for years.

Never fired and no rust some how it survived years of neglect "arminius HW 38 special".
I'm just a sucker for cheap guns and free is as cheap as it gets.

We had an awesome trip out west and came back with 2 antlerless mule deer, a calf moose and a bull moose. They're now in the freezer.

I came back with my "general" whitetail tag (good only for antlered) and bought two supplemental doe tags as well and have been hunting locally on a land belonging to my friend's (and fellow cigar smoker) girlfriend. She has 4 quarter sections they own and two they lease along the river valley. The only people allowed to hunt on her land are her son, her nephew and me.

Last year I dropped a really nice buck on her property and that rack is now hanging on my wall. It's a nice 5x5 (that's 10 point to you US folks...lol) typical rack. This last Saturday, I dropped another really nice buck in the exact same field. This guy is also a nice 5x5 but has a couple tines broken off from fighting. This rack was very close to being a 6x6 but those 6th tines aren't long enough to count (bummer) He's going to look good on my wall too once I get it mounted.

The Swarovski scope worked amazingly! I took the shot about 10 minutes past sunset so the light was a little tricky....and....he was 500 yards away. I used the 500 yard preset (of course) and with a couple quick adjustments (dialed up the magnification to max and adjusted the parallax/focus) I made a nice double lung shot. Luckily there wasn't a breath of wind so I didn't have to worry about making any adjustments for that.

So yeah, I'm in love with my scope now.......ROFL......and that buck is now being made into sausage. I'm getting it split 3 ways and having it made into, cheese smokies, maple breakfast sausages and summer sausage. I'm lucky in that too as the local abattoir makes some really, really good sausage.

If anybody is interested, my wife and I have a web page and I have all my hunting pic's on it. The site is password protected so you'll have to PM me for the URL and password.

I spent the day cranking out 9mm that I don't even need.

I picked up a Lee turret press and wanted to give it a work out so I made around 300 9mm.
Load data is 115 grain plated bullets with 4.4 grain's of Red Dot and CCI primers.

Now that I know it works I will set it up for 300 AAC and get to work I need around 500 more just to have on hand.
