Just checking in and a quick status. Hunt is still on, I've decided that I'll be bringing a 15 cf chest freezer and an inverter to run it.
This past spring we purchased a GSP pup (8 months old for pheasant hunting from a breeder in Kansas. Wife and I drove out to pick her up and brought her home. She has started her training, but we wanted to get her home and acclimated to the house and the other two dogs. I'll be bringing her with me on the trip, dropping her off in Kansas with the breeder who is also a gun dog trainer. She'll stay with him for 8 weeks to finish up her training, then I'll drive back out to bring her home. In January we'll head back to Missouri for a week of pheasant hunting.
I've taken the Browning 30-06 out to the range and have been sighting it in. I didn't get as much range time as I had hoped for as work got in the way. Hoping to get it all tuned up during the month of June. Sighting it in with
Buffalo Bore 168 gr TTSX Supercharged Lead-Free ammo. At $3.75 USD per shot, I hope I get it sighted in quickly!
I'm bringing my Henry 45-70 along as my backup, using
Hornady LEVERevolution 325 gr FTX ammo.
I'm up to 5 miles/day walking. Am looking to stretch that to 10 miles/day on weekends by July. Once I hit that number, I'll put my day pack on and gradually put some weight in it. Not too much, maybe 10 lbs or so. Outfitter tells me moose hunting is a lot of sitting and calling, but I still want to be able to hump it if we need to.
All lights are green for the trip.
