For me it is the end of the big game hunting for this year and I am cleaning rifles for storage. I always clean them when I am finished with them and then clean them again before moving them into their racks to wait for next year.

This year I cleaned three Remington 700, two Winchesters 70, and two Ruger 77 rifles for the migration to the gun room. It is time I use to reflect upon the past season' adventures and start planning for the future.

The varmint rifles and the shotguns will join the big game rifles in another couple of months. I still might spook around with a muzzleloader a bit but the freezer is fairly full so I doubt that I will pull the trigger.

So far it has been a great year!
