Thanks Brett, probably nicest wild one I’ve ever found. Well I skied around looking at trees about a mile but ended up cutting this one about 100 ft from the road.

That's cool, it did look good. Looking at the pics I thought you topped one for it at first.
What type of skies are those, do you use skins on them?
They are Rossi BC 125, they have a waxless patterned base like cross country skis so can climb some with them but anything very steep I use skins. They have metal edges and width-shape like telemark skis, their great, versatile skis, voila switch back bindings, WAY better than what I started out with, lol.
Gonna look those up, sound nice.
Always wanted to get some telemark setup skis.
I may have to watch a few videos tonight, been a few yrs since I've been out, may need to live vicariously for a bit.
It’s a lot of fun and helps keep me from getting too fat in the off season.

Rarefish: Thanks for the reply. The serial # is 6671xx. The marks in the oval are hard to read but I come up with (3D). The gun is in real nice shape.

Cut Split Stack Burn
Well ” The Cowboys” is on TV, I’m a big John Wayne fan so I was watching the movie relaxing with the new pup. The wife snatched him away. The movie ended and I go upstairs to my bed to find the two of them passed out. Looks like she might spoil him worse then me...
I should have known I was in trouble when she held him the whole ride home

The calm before the storm. Have 50 people coming for dinner. I already have kindling split so that when I'm ready for them to leave, I can fire up the stove and let the heat run em off!

Last day of MD deer season. I got skunked in WV, hunted shotgun in MD twice and didn't see any bucks. I wanted to rifle hunt. I've taken deer with my Savage 99's in 22 Savage HiPower, Savage 250-3000, Savage 300, and all I needed was one with my Savage 303. That completes the Savage Slam of taking a game animal with each of the Savage cartridges. I'm in a rifle county so at 2 oclock I went over a friends farm and got on stand. At about 4:26 this guy walked out at about 300 yards and kept coming till he was about 80-100 yards. was using a Model 99 in 303 Savage made in 1927 with a Lightfoot no drill scope mount with a Weaver K4. At 300 the cross hairs looked so thick they blocked his whole body, at 200 I could see his body better, and at 100 I could see him well. He was looking right in my direction, so I went for a neck shot. He ran about 10 yards.
good hunting/shot rf! ~
Happy Birthday James! Hope it ended good! Nice buck! And gun! Well no firewood today but scrounged up a Christmas treeView attachment 780126sure wish the ole Gerber was ported, that frozen wood was hard, lolView attachment 780127 View attachment 780128

RF, congrats, but I have to ask, is there an animal in the pic above your deer, or is my imagination getting the best of me!
Watching videos

I always end up at the isle of man TT videos for some reason.Watching videos

IOM TT is nuts. The riders are wired differently to most of us.
Have you watched 'closer to the edge'. ? The film follows guy Martin through the TT about 5 years ago, also hutchy. . Both are in a state in hospital beds by the end.

The "D" makes it a 52. There were only a few models in the 50's. If it has a wide rounded forearm it's an R which is the heavy rifle. If it has a slighly narrower rounded forearm it's an F, feather weight. The F has two extra holes drilled in the butt stock to lighten it. If it has a schnable forearm it's an EG. The R and F were factory drilled for a scope, the EG was not. There is a "no drill" mount made for the non drilled guns. After market drilling knocks the collector value by about 50%.
