VermontHunter Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Re: *WANTED/needed - 270cal or ? for elk hunt* Steve I hope you can get some pictures of that event... A nice brand New .270 win, topped with a scoped doanted by Dave Blanton,, should bring an awsomely big smile from Dakota,,,, and I don't want to miss that moment....

Dakota Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Re: *WANTED/needed - 270cal or ? for elk hunt* Hi guys, Dakota's dad here with an update. Just got back from Dakota's third and last walk today. This last one was a very short one that just wore him out. He's in much better spirits today though. We're kind of in a holding pattern now. I think the last update I gave was to say that Dakota was to have a permanent pacemaker put in. The doctors are now going to wait the standard 7-10 days after surgery, and will test how much he needs the pacemaker on Monday. They still say that he will more than likely have a permanent pacemaker put in. Just when they will do it, we don't know but will keep you updated. It will be about 1 1/2 hr surgery, and if all goes well we may go back home a couple of days afterward. We appreciate your continued prayers, we sure can feel God's strength and peace during this time! Again, we want to say that you are all simply amazing! Words cannot express Dakota's mom's and my feelings of deep gratitude toward you all! We truly have some awesome new friends here at the RealTree forum!

stevebeilgard Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Re: *WANTED/needed - 270cal or ? for elk hunt* when i spoke with dakota a few days ago, he promised me he's shoot at least 100 rounds through his new rifle, all from the prone position. so, two more things he needs are a bi-pod for the front of his rifle, and shells. does anyone have a bi pod they want to give him? i don't. but, i will send him a box of shells. or, at least, the $25.00 to buy a box of shells. orian is correct with using the right bullet, and the barnes triple shok 140 is what i'll recommend to dakota. i use it myself in my 270, and it flat does the job.

rifleman25 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Re: *WANTED/needed - 270cal or ? for elk hunt* Thanks guys just thought I'd try to stay one step ahead. The gun was donated as well as the scope so I thought I'd get him those since I havent contrbuted financially yet. I got a PM yesterday saying someone was going to try to get him a few boxes of Barnes bullets. Looks like this is shaping up real nice.
