Thanks folks.

Yes, Aspen, she is a bit interested now. She was all giggly about the elk! She might not mind a little Global Warming to take the edge off the record-breaking cold temps, tho...

RIPP: Congrats on the antelope! We do not have them here.

And one test I won't be making with the .264, yet.

OK, I confess and hope I can receive some pardon for missing a wolf this morning. It saw me and bolted before I could get a shot, then took off at high speed thru the brush and young firs. I swung on it and fired at the blurr but no dice. AAAGGGHHH!

There was another one, too. I didn't see it but it crossed my path on the other side of me, behind me. I could hear it running.

2 miles from home but right next to a road, a spot we deer hunt in.

Dreary walk out, I assure you.
