Thanks. I figured it out right after I posted that. Us old guys are a little slow with electronics.

I can't figure out how to post a pic ?

Black bears in Western Oregon don't hibernate. East side they definitely do. I just got mine 2 days ago and not an oz of fat. He has one beautiful coat.

I love east side for exactly that reason. It's rare to find a black one over there. Well, I did see one this year but not near as common. Good luck. I'm still waiting for a blonde.

Same here. It's just too expensive. They should have stuck with the old plant. Bullets were available when they had that.

I was actually just doing some math, it's been almost 40 years. Lol 1985 when I started loading and it was always Nosler and Leupold. I just bought a 6.5 PRC so I'll probably be working up loads with the ELD-X. I'm hoping to find some Bergers but not holding my breath. It's just sad the...

Don't overlook spring bear on the west side. High numbers of bears, high number of clear cuts, less hunting pressure. If nothing else consider doing that while your waiting on points for deer. It would give you a chance to cover alot of ground and maybe help decide where you'd like to hunt deer...

Yeah Nosler is here in Oregon and I try to support them but they are losing money. I've got 2 boxes of 210 308's, and 1 of the .284's left. I've been stocking up on Hornady bullets because they seem to be the only ones available. And still reasonably priced. I've bought nothing but Nosler for...

I use the 210 ABLR in my 30 Nosler right at 2930 fps and they worked flawlessly for my pretty large 5x6 bull last year. It was at 62 yards so this 210 was moving out. It exited the far ribcage about the size of a golf ball. It set the ebrake on impact and stood there about 8 seconds and started...

I agree, my favorite rifle, up until a very large black bear a few years back, was a R700 280 Mtn rifle. This pig took 4 , 175 gr Partitions before he expired. Took out both front shoulders, spine, lungs, and heart. He was just tougher than nails. So I moved up to a 338 wm, and just never really...

Yup, yoty's and magpies. If I see them their getting some lead slung at them. I grew up on a dairy farm in Wyoming, they can be devastating to calfs and rest of the smaller farm animals.

Congrats. Great buck, great story, and great rifle. What more could a guy ask for. I love these Nosler calibers. I've got a 30 Nosler in the Ridgeline. I got a 5x5 bull about 2 weeks ago with a 210 gr ABLR at about 2950fps. Talk about setting the park brake. He locked up and the second one just...

I just returned from a successful Bull hunt in Eastern Oregon and reading this just echoed the oddities of big game hunting. I shot a pretty large 5x5 bull at 80 yards with a 30 Nosler, 210 gr. Accubond LR. It was running right at 3060 at the muzzle. On impact he froze, set the park brake...

Congrats, that's a beautiful buck. And yes 50 yards is pretty much adrenaline. Short of a spine shot that's to be expected. Thanks for sharing.
