As some of you mite know I mainly track on snow and still hunt in the big woods, this season for whatever reason has been a serious grind, very little deer movement, countless days of seeing absolutely nothing, sure I can sit on some local private farm land and see a dozen deer a night but my true passion is big woods hunting, low deer numbers and poor genetics are the norm but I love the challenge of walking those ridges and climbing mountains. I usually hunt solo, but every season I get to hunt with my buddy for a few days, on snow, he usually does the tracking and I try to get ahead, we’ve had some great hunts together, yesterday was no different. Around lunch time he was tracking and I ran into this nice 8 cruising a ridge, he’s no monster but after 4 weeks of grinding away on low deer numbers I’m pretty happy, a good hunt spent with a great friend, who by the way is a lot tougher than me our drag was 1.2 miles and thank god I had help my back has been horrendous lately, good luck to everybody still out there hammering away and stay safe!!View attachment 57314View attachment 57315
That’s a Forbes rifle in 7/08, basically a clone of Melvin Forbes original Ultra Light Arms Rifles, I’m a lefty so it’s a pretty rare gun, 2-7 leupold, and they come with a Timney trigger, I can’t remember what it weighs but something like just under 6 lbs scoped, I’m a gun nut and love custom lightweight mountain rifles. If your into ultra light stuff Melvin Forbes is the king with rifles, I’ve owned a couple of his rifles and spoke to him on the phone a few times, check them out, Ultra Light Arms.
No kidding, yup great company.nice, i thought it looked like an ultra light....my cousin that passed helped make their actions as a contract machinist
No kidding, yup great company.
Yup, I hunt in the Adks.
