Introduce Yourself Here

[MTPaul]

Paul I am pretty much the same...an aging Montanan who no longer cares to climb the mountain, slay the mighty wapiti and haul him back down.99% of my shooting now involves varmints and small rifles that don't kick!

Advanced age does have a way of tempering what was once a great deal of enthusiasm to chase larger game animals in the far reaches of the backcountry. Now I can be satisfied by spending several hours perched next to a field while waiting for a varmint to show up several hundred yards away in the distance and dispatching said varmint with a single well-placed shot.

If you don't mind saying, where abouts in MT? I live in Gallatin county - well outside Bozangles.

 

[Old Hickory]

I recently retired from an Army munitions production installation, 30+ years as a patrolman and another 8 years of making munitions.

Am also a retired custom knife maker. Knives put food on the table for many years.

And also am a licensed private investigator, retired.

My favorite hunting is squirrel hunting and an occasional rabbit and varmint. My choices of rifles are my .17 WSM rifles.

Thank you for letting me join here!

I just asked where you were in another thread...I'm in Helena, not too far away. I was lucky enough to live in Bozeman when it was still Bozeman. We used to shoot at a dilapidated range in Logan. I hear its not so dilapidated anymore!
