2024 Idaho - Been working on my 1971 trail 90 for about 6 months and had the pleasure of taking it a few miles on a single track before hiking up the ridge and camping for a week. Buddy and I both came out with great bucks and lots of memories.

Washington general rifle - My son’s first back country buck. This came after buck fever contributed to him missing a nice buck during a September wilderness hunt weeks earlier. Brutal hunt and pack out that he worked really hard for!

They are fun bikes for sure, and a perfect winter project. I have a real love/hate relationship with it but had been dreaming all year about making it out of the mountains with a big bull or buck on the back of it.

Seems an older Trail 90 in good condition goes for around $2k. At that price point I would just spend another grand or two and get a new trail 125, XT250, or a TW200.

Very nice, you have excellent taste in blasters! If I’m not mistaken, that’s a 657 Classic Hunter, a pretty rare piece! Mine is way more accurate than me.

That's a good eye - 657 Classic Hunter it is. This one has a 7.5" barrel and is incredibly accurate also. Red dots have given my old eyes a new lease on handgun shooting. Handguns puts the Hunt back into hunting for me. Here's another pic that shows the revolver and buck a little better.
