Looks like my practice range, well except the trees and hills otherwise its all the same color and temperature range.

Im going to take an L90 Volvo loader with a 9' bucket down the section line to the 1000 yard steel tomorrow morning before the frost melts off so I can drive to it in the morning on the frost.

Come plow mine out while your at it.

Mine's a frick'n mess. Snow from end to end then about 200 yards from the shack I fire out of is a fresh pipeline right of way that's going to be a mud bog until probably july. Can't cross it or it will get rutted up. The ROW runs west to east across the quarter section I shoot SE to NW on so I need to go up the section line to get around it and it's a rough 2 track under the best conditions.

I plowed into my shack / firing line with an 870 G blade with V plow and wing so I could FF at 100 & 200 last week then walked a target out to 600 to shoot a couple ladders. I have to walk 500 yards around a slough to get 200 out then the last 400 is 2" to 2' deep all the way out to 1000.

I made that walk out and back 3 times shooting ladders.

Good grief, and I thought Deep Creek was bad.

I think if I chain up all 4's on my Toyota I can make it to my 1000 yard line. I've been screwing off snowmobiling to much though, time to buckle down and get this rifle dialed in!

Deep Creek is healing up nicely after snow removal...

Great news Tom”

Here’s a question
I’ll be in Libby working on the cabin May 9-14 if I get a chance to come down on Saturday could I shoot as a non IBS member just paying entry fees ?
