Congratulations Ryan ! If I were you I'd go buy some lottery tickets !

What caliber is it you better keep it hid or Bobbie may get some big ideas ha ha !

Hi Allen. It’s a 6.5 CM
Lucky win on the tikka and I’ll for sure find a good use for it. Bobby is trying to claim my 223 tikka all day though. I reminded him he has his own 223 but he likes the tikka more. He sounds pretty convincing alright. “Come on dad we can have one each” lol. I’ll probably get him a left handed 243 or 7mm-08 this summer

Clean living pays off again, eh?!!!

Both would be very good choices for him , as Pete mentioned it's all that clean living !
I enjoy the .6 mm myself but either would be a good rifle for him , like Bobbie I also shoot left handed .

Nice rifle Ryan!
My coworker won a Benelli Lupo in 6.5 off the Ducks Unlimited calendar for the December draws. He always wins stuff. But he told me…”like a gambler, I’ve probably spent way more entering these draws. I only tell you my winnings”..lol

Nice, I've got that same rifle. I cut the barrel to 21", shot it out to 1000yds. I've only shot coyotes with it so far.

I got a $20 ticket for a mini draw to fill the main draw. Prizes were 4,3, and 1 entries. my #14 was pulled last so i got one entry. I was given #37 and that was then pulled out of 40. The little girl that pulled the chip said " I hope he buys me a slush when i see him"
I said ill be buying her slush every time i see her from now on. It would take a long time to mention all the guns my friends have won so far. Benelli supersport, couple stainless BAR's, some M77's, A5's, Maxus carbon fiber, list goes on and on. My friend, coworker and moose hunting partner greg has a new Benelli Lupo 270 as well. I can say i have won more than i have lost SO FAR shakeyjake. There was a 200th anniversary Model 700 bdl in 7mm mag that i wanted so bad but unfortunately didnt connect on. Same with the BAR's and the Ducks unlimited laminated stainless marlin 22 mag with tube magazine.
Theres another site i routinely check that raffles gunwerks rifles. I check HUNTER CREEK OUTFITTERS every morning for anything that interests me.

Considering all the raffle tickets I've bought over the years, I could win a gun at every dinner I go to, for the rest of my life, and never break even!

I prefer to think that I'm making a "donation" to each worthy cause. That way I don't obsess as much about my name not being drawn!!!!

Bottom line is you NEVER win if you don't buy the tickets!

Pete

One site i monitor does up to 100k cash draws. They have a can am SxS on tracks up right now. HCO has a benelli legacy 20 gauge today. Have to be careful with these sites man. Theyll clean out all the fur profit if youre trying to win everything.

Buy a rifle,raffle it off,then buy a rifle for yourself with the profits.

Added another raffle gun today.

Older Sako rifles hold a soft spot in my heart I really like their trigger and how accurate they are .

Young feller made himself 15 1/16 1x19 snares. We’ll be setting those for prime lynx pretty soon.

We’ve been busy inside with marten during the cold weather


An old friend of my grandpa sent him a bunch of pictures from back in the day. They sure used to walk a long ways to hunt caribou.

Another Gun?!? Nice! I hate those stocks but very nice.
I'm almost done reading the book about Frank Glaser in Alaska, different breed of men those old guys like gramps were!

Nice beaded shot bag that fella has.......

If you like Frank Glasiers book you should check out " Born on snowshoes " and " Above the Arctic Circle the memoirs of James Carroll " ( my wife's great grandfather )

“A hat of many animals”

Bobby was given this custom made hat from a well known seamstress who said she just loves following his adventures. She said it’s like the coat of many colors in the bible and Bobby is “a feeder of the nations”much like Joseph.
6 different animal furs on the hat. Such an unexpected and appreciated gift. Bobby offered to send her one of his furs but she said no need to and that’s it’s a gift just for him.

Looks like some seal on the side of that hat. No wind will get through there ! Nice haul on the marten !

Yup seal is one of the 6 animals. 4th good batch of marten right there . Bobby speeds up my work so much now. He’s trying everyday to get me to give him my 223. Even though he has his own he just likes mine better. Lots of 22 magnum and shooting a wolf talk from him lately too.
