Good Ole “Double Check or Wreck” test

With weeks away from deer season, I had to pull out ole reliable from the sage to assure the scope hadn’t bounced around since collecting dust from end of season last year. The weather was perfect, and the range on a weekday is practically a ghost town. The wife and I had the 100 yard rifle range to ourselves. What more could I ask for? A beer maybe…

Well, the point of this is, CHECK your rifle! For the love of all that is good, make sure you get rounds down range before you decide to head up the mountain this season. Nothing can ruin a hunt like a scope that has shifted since your previous season.

Due to the yearly table stories my wife is forced to listen to of all the hunting trips I go on, she has decided she wants to plug a wild game herself. So, this year the goal is to get her on a wild pig. Am I looking forward to packing out a whole pig by myself? No, but, having a wife who loves to shoot guns and buy more hunting gear is definitely a win for me.

To all the wild pigs running around in California, my wife’s got a .270 Winchester bullet with your name written on it. For the time being, keep eating your acorns and fatten yourself to turn into some kick ass carnitas.
