Fishing, and hunting reports (share yours)

I put this new rig together for my Colorado mule deer hunt. Still need to sight it in. Not completely a current pic. Now it sits with suppressor cover, sling, and Harris bipod.

Brian77 Brian77 Wow, you have had a productive fall so far. Congratulations on your bear and your bull and thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

I've got to ask: which knife(knives) did you use for all the fun work after the shots? Did you have to sharpen up during and/or between animals?
Unfortunately I did little knife work. Dave and the other guys cut up the bear. I helped with some with boning with a knife I made for that purpose. And on the elk, my guide Church did most of the work. I helped as i could but i was still puffing and sweating from a 1/4 mile sprint across a rocky slope behind Chuck who was 62 years old and not even breathing hard. I did make a note in my prep notes to make sure to have a pack knife along. Dave processed and boned almost the entire bear with a Case Trapper. Small knives impress me the older I get.

Thanks for following up. I'm always interested to know what different people like to use.

Perfectly understandable. I've been on guided hunts before and stepped aside to let the professional skinners do their job, so I get it.
