« on: October 14, 2008, 08:58:11 AM »
2008 Elk hunt. ;D
Leave Thursday morning to set up camp. We have 3 cow tags and 2 bull tags. Hope to fill up the freezer this year.
I look forward to this time of year to HEAD TO THE HILLS!!!
Nothing like the Colorado high country.

Parker-Hale, VERY Nice!  and 30-06 is my favorite round.  If I had to choose just one rifle it would be a 30-06.

My dad bought it new and handed it down to me. And I'm thinking of handing it down to my son.
I catch all kinds of crap from the guys I hunt with. They say I'm lobbing rounds with the arc of the .06.
They shot the big mags. 7mm mag and 300win mags. One other guy in camp shots a .06.

But in 30 years of elk and deer hunting it has never let me down. Hell the longest shot I've had to take was 43 yards.
So I tell them I shot in self defence ;D

Lobbing rounds!?

Our GIs used to 'Lob Rounds' with the .06 out to 500 yards great efficiency quite regularly!

It's all in good fun. Ammo prices and the fact I can find .06 ANYWHERE is enough for me.

Since my hunt this year will be limited to coyotes in the yard, I'd appreciate some real hunt pictures when you get back. Please!!

Been a damn good round for 102 years and I'm sure it will be for another 102!  It was recently voted one of the best all-round cartridges in history.  Have a blast!
