Absolutely terrific!! Having raised two daughters, and taken them hunting, there is nothing I enjoyed more than to watch them succeed and harvest an animal. Even at 21 and 24 now, I don’t even carry a rifle until they tag out.
Well Guy, it looks like I probably drove right past you somewhere on my way home. The girls and I spent a couple days in Yellowstone and the Tetons after we left our Antelope hunt. Some terrific photos you’ve taken there. It truly is a magical place for sure.
Thanks all. It’s been a great trip and have been able to hang out with a buddy and his family this week. Some game processing to start on and then a couple days around Yellowstone and the Tetons before we head home.
My daughters and I came over to Wyoming to do some antelope hunting. Our tags had to be used on, or within a half mile of irrigated land so our choices were limited. But they both tagged out yesterday and I filled my tag today. I’d like to say we ALL used Nosler bullets, but my youngest...
So for years I carried a Gen 3 with no problems, but I’ve got fairly large hands. For the last couple of years it’s been a Gen 5, but I don’t put any backstrap on it so it’s smaller than a Gen 3. At the risk of being haunted from the grave of John Browning, the Gen 5 without a backstrap kinda...
Well…bears seen but nothing fell to the Whelen. Went on several stalks trying to get my daughter on a bear, and even got to within 40 yards but the brush was too high to see the bear. It’s only a six hour drive to my buddies place so we will head back, and of course the Whelen will go.
I haven’t fired my .35 Whelen since Africa, in May of 2012. Took the rest of the loads I had to the range today and fired one shot at 200 yards. They are 250 grain PT’s. After I saw the target I packed up and went home.
Guy, last September my youngest daughter and I went back to Wisconsin for two weeks. I had rented a luxury car because it was cheaper than anything else at the time. At the counter the rental car rep offered me some options and then she said “Gladiator” when I asked about an SUV. My brain...
Beautiful photos Guy. I am itching to get out and do a little fishing. Between work, travel, getting sick and cruddy weather I haven’t wet a line yet. I need to fix that!!
What Guy said. I’ve seen my share of live and dead people in my time. I’m more amazed how a person survived then I am about the ones that didn’t. And for those that didn’t, I’m amazed at how long it can take.
I took ammo with me but I had checked before I went and was told 7x57 ammo was readily available. Funny thing is my buddy took his .30-06 and his bag didn’t make it for about 3 days. They had some PMP ammo with a 220 grain bullet(I think). He liked the performance so much he just stuck...
