Still waiting for results on the Elk draw. Meanwhile I'm starting to get ready for hunting season.

If I told you I was planning on carrying 3 guns with me while out in the field, you'd say I'm nuts or stupid. For myriad reasons. One of which is that it'd be really heavy. Well, I figure I am carrying 2 guns' worth around the midsection. I clock in at 205.5# as of Monday and that is just too darn much and I don't want to have to hike all over the hills with that extra ballast on board. I figured if I fessed up here it'd give me a little extra motivation.

I'm not doing anything special, just cutting back on how much chow I take in, eating better stuff, and hoping to ramp up on exercise, maybe by pushing baby Violet's stroller around the block. Ideally I'd like to be back in the 180 range by October. We'll see how it goes...

Meanwhile, Field and Stream had a great article on shooting practice for hunting and I might get a little time to get out and do that in a month or two? Not certain. I still want to try out the Swedish Mauser now that I've gotten the scope mount solidified. I'm hoping the barrel has enough life left to shoot straight so I can take it out for deer hunting.
