From this morning's jaunt up the mountain.

Took a stand just below the crest of a steep, snowy, selectively-logged north slope and called this thing in. Later I found out my nephew first saw it jog by from his position to my right. It was below him on a trail about 200 yards away and moving. He got the critter in his scope but let it go as it was moving and passing thru brush. I was about 100 yards to the left of him on the other side of a ridgeline. The thing slithered along below me to about 160 yards and then hesitated on the trail long enough for me to shoot it with my chopped Ruger 6.5x55 carbine + 140 grain Prvi Partizan bullet handload.

Good performance of the bullet as it left only about a 1-inch exit hole which on a shoulder shot yote is all I want. Fur buyer says he'll take him. Hurrah, won't even pay the gasoline to town...

And another picture along the trail.

What are the Rosary, the Cross or the Crucifix other than tools to help maintain the fortress of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
