Hello there everyone (and EKM).

A reply would have been interesting but unneccesary. Although not atop tenof mine, if a fellow wants to shoot an '06, they have made an acceptable choice. Composing fiction and attributing it to one of the "been there, done that" guys that makeshis living (and reputation) guiding/protectingclients is not acceptable.

I did draw an ES tag for the 1st. Ironically, DOW is doing such a excellent job promoting elk habitat, there are TWO leftover cow tagsfor that season. I put two steers in the freezer this year, but beef is no substitute... Meat vs. Antlers, think I'll take the meat. As a sidenote, why were they FEEDING the deer in Gunnison and now lining up to shoot the elk in Estes???

Ironically, I completed another lot of 285 gr Speer GS, 375 Ruger for the 1st season. I fired 23 shots on Saturday and the stock split on me. I am thinking of calling McMillan in the morning and see what they can do. Anyone have ideas? If I can't get the 375 repaired in about 8 weeks, I will have to go back to the 416. That 375 Ruger is a phenominal cartridge and has become my favorite. Anyone that might have a worn out '06 should rebarrel. I was going to go bunny jumping at Pawnee for preparation, but that isn't going to happen.

For all that drew/are huntingthis year, good luck and be safe.
