Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

cal pappasHi Guys:
Good day from Alaska. I mentioned on the double rifles post the reason I shot so poorly. All of my practice before the hunt (4-8 shots per day for a month) were taken with slow and deliberate aim. When I shot quick, I left too much bead in the rear sight and my shots went high. I messed up, yes, but it was still fun AND with a really cool rifle. See you Alaskans (and others) on the 10th for our shoot.
Cal
