Time to clean my hunting guns.

Practice always pays off!! I fired 3 shots at game this year, and harvested 3 animals.
But I probably fired in excess of 250 rounds at paper over the summer and early fall.
At least 120 of those were at targets from 3-500 meters.
I know that a one-shot, quick kill is the desire of all on here who hunt. It does not
always work perfectly, but when it does, it's a good feeling.
Thanks all for the kind, upbuilding comments. Dave.

Congrats Dave.I wish I was that lucky this fall. I was hunting elk as well. Although I didnt get anything, I did call back and forth with a bull for a couple nights before he presented himself. I was in shock at the size of this beast. It was too long of a shot to be comfortable.
I did cross the river the next day, only to find that the wind was not in my favour. My calling might have been a little off too. Im still a little new to this. End of story, he called back for a lil bit that morning and then let out a weird call, only to warn the others. The visible cows then disappeared, and he stopped bugling.

Certainly not displeased with the rifles this fall!! They performed exactly as they should have.
Dave.Well, Elk steaks for dinner this evening....un...be...lieve....able!!! Cut with a fork, tasty and just
plain scrumptious. We will dine well this winter. [BTW, not trying to rub it in, just had to share.]
Every time I eat Elk, I am reminded why they are so high on my gourmet meats list.
Moose is very, very good, but Elk is just that little bit better! Regards, Dave.

Nicely done!!
I want to put one more in the freezer before I pack her in for the winter.
Wish me luck!
