Who is hunting what this year ????

I am chasing Whitetail Deer and Elk halfheartedly around the Selkirk mountains of North Idaho, the wife's boss is hunting for his first time so I got volunteered to take him up...

One of the nice things about living in the boonies is that I can load up the ATV's drive 3 miles south hang a right go 8 miles in, park and unload the 4 wheelers and be up into miles upon miles of back country don't really even need to set up camp..

Just been basically scouting while armed for the past few days, he and I are heading up Sunday morning to see if we can't find something for him to shoot This year I have pretty much decided unless it is really trophy class I am just not pulling a trigger...

Rifle of choice so far, since we are hunting deep timber is a Model 1895G Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70 with the ported barrel. Loads are 405 Grain Lasercast bullets Chrono'd at about 1450 fps...


Would love to hear what everyone else is doing and what yer using.. Pics of equipment and firearms are welcome..



(Please if you post pics of kills keep them tasteful to non-hunters also)
