Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[rarefish383]

Neil, ever since I was a little kid, I've wanted a 275 Rigby. Next year I turn 62 and can start drawing my Social Security. One of the first things I do may be to fly to London. 13-19 Pensbury Pl. To be fitted for my new Rigby. Cost, a little under $10,000 US, Joe

It's a tropical 16 degrees up here now. Just stoked the sauna with a couple pieces of black ash, it's at 170 but I've had a few ales and feel like a hotter sauna tonight.

I don't know what to say Matt Lol.

Haven't seen my wife since last Thursday morning and probably won't until next Sunday. It will be a happy reunion.

Believe it or not, it was my Aunt who used to hunt with "my dream gun", but it was a one of a kind, and was sold, and I'll never have it.

Was a Winchester Mdl 95 in 30-06 done over by Griffin & Howe, the lever was pistol grip and it had a 24" barrel with beautiful engraving on the stock. Let me tell ya, that gun was sweet! It was worth thousands 30 years ago, God knows what it is worth now!

My Aunt, who was about 95 lbs, used to carry that in the woods. She and my Uncle would go into the Adirondacks for a week at a time, no tent, just a tarp and a 2 person sleeping bag!

I'll be going up to the hunting cabin on the 17th for a few days and the wife will stay home. It will be a happy reunion (with the cabin)!

You should stop at the shop on the way up, Fur Feather and Fin, they have a bunch of old Model 95's in there. Ill be bringing up the .35Rem, took the scope off the 06 for the .223 and never got around to putting another on the 06. Ill probably bring the 6.5 as back up.... Unless I sneak away tomorrow after firewood and grab a scope, could sight it in at Joe's farm this week at lunch.......

Oh, and she said I can get that crossbow for my Christmas present!!!

 

[MustangMike]

That is great, but get the range finder too, you will need it, and they are both incredible deals! The Cross Bow is the same as Mikee & Harold have.

Mike got a 8 with his....

Thought this one was funny the other day. As my dad would have said "on point".

Thanks Mike. I hated antler restrictions originally. We have been living with them for 12 or 15 years. They have produced many nice trophy size bucks where we used to get scrub fork horns and spikes. Honestly I like the antler restrictions. They did do heavy duty herd reduction so we have way less deer overall. This week I have done 6 days of hunting and saw 6 deer. They were not moving. So we gotta make the most of our opportunities. To be fair my buddy messed up on a 9pt and my dad missed a trophy size 8. Good luck Mike hope you are successful this year.

he looks a lot bigger than the text pic i got yesterday.[emoji23]

Different angle. I saw he was a shooter at 80 yards. I like those easy to Id ones.

It's a comfy 8* and calm this morning in the treestand. We had some excitement this morning the tub drain clogged and we found a hole in the tub. So the tub drained all over the bathroom floor.....

Well if I didn't take my 8 pt last year I could have waited to take him this year too!!! (For those who don't know, he hit this deer last year with the rifle, but did not get it).

It's up to 22 here which is very welcomed from that garbage we had yesterday. High winds again mean I guess I'll go need to look for the deer. Wolves have been around the last two nights but the deer haven't left so that's promising anyhow.

No better way to spend your day off than in the woods
