    First walk with the 270

    Didn't see any deer but went to an area I had never been to before was a very steep climb up the hill but when I got to the top it was well worth it even though I left my foo foo valve somewhere further down the hill. Was going to recheck the sighting of my rifle when I got back down but was too buggered to do anything else so went home and died for a few hours to recover. Really got to get my fitness back into shape.

    Nice looking country Hunter308.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I can vouch for that.

    Good on you for getting out and doing it.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Nice - looks similar to where I'm heading next weekend. Steep as crap but good deer country. If you're serious about fitness a 20-40 minute walk a couple times a week with a heavy pack will do wonders. The infantry taught me that very very quickly.
