My Upcoming Trip

So I'm going hunting in Montana in less than 3 weeks. I cannot wait! I've never been to Montana before and this trip will definately test my mettle. The boyfriend and I are going to be gone for 10 days.

So I had to get a new gun. I usually shoot a .243, but I need a bit more firepower to take down an elk. So I got this:

It's a Tikka T3 30-06, synthetic stock and stainless steel barrel. I'm normally a fan of the wood grain, just because I'm a traditionalist, but for extreme temperatures, I decided to go the other way.

I love, love, love it!!! It's so light, so it will be a breeze hiking in the mountains with it, however, it does pack a punch! I knew to expect a recoil, but it was a bit overwhelming.

I named it Sarah.

Third Time's the Charm?

Ok, I going to try one more time to do this blog thing. Every day I watch the news and I think, omg, I'm going to post about that! Then I read exactly what I'm thinking on five different blogs, so then I go... meh.

Well, I think I'll give it another try. We'll see...
