Grandchildren come in handy on those long, deep snowy walks
Hand them the digital cam, show'em how to snap a picture and bring it back to you for viewing.

that's pretty good. MaybeI could train the old dog to use the camera... but he's worse in the deep snow then I am. I had to lift him out of a few drifts today.. poor old thing.

Dave, please let that scope wear protection.

In all seriousness.. what do you suggest? I do have a scope cover, but I tried that hose stuff and it kept blowing them off.

I see winter still has a good grip on your area Most of our snow is gone or going suppose to be 62 here to day. I hope it is gone for good I am ready for spring. By the way real nice weapon.

RE: The desire to shoot!!
That last blast of winter over the weekend of about 14 inches really put the topper on spring. The yard was too soft to plow with the big rig, so I used the snow blower and walked the drive way out to the road, had to shovel a little to turn the old ford work truck around in the yard, and then threw it in four low andjust went out!!! The snow plow up up a pretty good wall from the road scrape, and I had to bust through that, but at least I had a vehicle I could get out of the yard with. The fancy Silverado was still in the garage all safe and snug. So I had nothing to do Sunday morning and got out the snow shovel and shoveled the garage out enough so if I wanted to drive the new truck I could get that out as well...
Tody is warm enough, but WINDY!!!!! So I will do a few things in town this morning and see if the wind dies down for an afternoon shoot. If not, we will probably shoot anyway. All I want to do today is sight in the Bushnell Elite 3200 scope. I was playing with the firefly feature last night.. pretty cool. I hit it with a flashlight and those cross hairs glow a nice pale green for a long time. It was too dark to see in the woods when I finally thought of it, but those cross hairs stuck out like a sore thumb. I want to shoot this rifle and scope and if I like it enough, for the price I will get another scope and some ringsto have around the house...
