Today, is Thursday, October 18....one week and a few hours to departure! After more discussion, we have modified our trip plans, and will now depart Hartland at about midnight on Thursday night the 25th. This will put us into Bozeman, MT, by around dinner time on Friday night, and enable us to have a decent dinner and good night's rest prior to trekking the final 2.5 hours to the Lodge on Saturday. Also, I suppose it will allow a little acclimatization...as Bozeman is nearly 1 mile above sea level.
Yesterday Dad and I made a trip down to McMiller Sports Center to sight in our rifles. We will both be using .300 Win Mags. Our goal at the range was to sight-in such that we are shooting approximately 2 inches high at 100 yards. With this approach, the idea is that you can hold the scope crosshairs on your aiming point at animals that are 75-250 yards away, and still strike the vitals for a clean kill.
We each shot 10-15 times, and after a few adjustments, feel quite comfortable that our rifles are sighted properly....and ready for the hunt.
This is likely my last post until our trip has commenced....so look for update once we reach Montana.
