RE: YOUR 2006 HUNTING TRIP
My first trip this year was to take my two grandsons fishing in Alaska. I highly recommend this trip. One of the best. We caught salmon and rainbows. But if you plan on going more than a few yards off a regular path you had better take a 44 mag or something bigger.
My son-in-law and I are also going elk hunting in the 3rd combined rifle season in Colorado. Going to the Meeker area. Been there several times before. I'll be using a 300 WinMag with NP 180s. My son-in-law uses a 7mag with 165 NPs. This will be a guided private-land hunt.
Both of us will have OTC bull tags and he will have a buck tag also.
We are trying to get out as often as we can to do some target practice but the heat here keeps us from shooting as much as we would like. The shooting range does not open until 8:00 in the morning and by 9:00 its too late.
Hope everyone has a great hunting season.
