Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors 2015 Winchester kill page

Its not written down!


Some of it is in photographs....but I can tell you for sure the rifle has hunted all over Montana, twice in Africa and a few other places. Its killed dozens of deer- mule deer and whitetail, a couple elk, and African game up to and including gemsbok. Plus a pile of jackals......

What I've found is that if you start with what you can remember, you begin to remember even more. At least the part until the Jack Daniel's kicks in.

Southwind! Just go ahead and modify thread to include 2016 kills!!!

Since I am the op I will dub this the 2015-2016 hunting season Winchester kill page.

We may have to start a 2016-2017 later but might as well roll with it now.

And while talking about if rifles could talk I would love to hear Wally Johnson's Mod 70 375 tell it's stories.

What's the cut-off date, since I'll be chasing pigs with a Winchestger or two all summer long?



Amen to that! I think the only rest it got was the time it spent lost in the river.

Keep chasing, keep posting no cut off

Congrats Razz!

Went out after breakfast Thursday morning while at the ranch and got these for supper with my old model 12. Wasn't all I got either!!! Lots of fun. Matter of fact I found out that in order to see any nilgai, grab your shotgun and go quail hunting! .

I would like to hunt "The Blue Bull" someday. I hear they make great table fare.

Yes they do! Actually, Wednesday when we drove in we hadn't gotten 150 yards in the ranch. When we topped a little rise there was a nice young bull standing In the road!!! Young son was in front truck with ranch owner. He got out and was handed another buds 721 in 30/06. 180 grain accubonds. Rested on truck door and proceeded to make a measured 250 yard lung shot! He was trying for spine but didn't quite aim high enough. Bull went I to the thickest part of the oak motte. Mebbe 75-100 yards and laid down. We found him in about 10 minutes. and a well placed coup de grace finished him. If he were bigger I doubt we'd have been that lucky. Tracked one over a mile and a half one time before we got him. Good eating!!!! They can pack some lead!

Nilgai is easily the best game meat Ive ever had...has its own unique flavor thats indescribable.

And the younger the bull or preferably a cow is the best!!!! Big bull ain't too bad. Sometimes Ya just gotta run it thru the tenderizer a time or two!

A good candidate for the M70 375 H&H. It's on my list of someday. There are several critters I'd like to hunt in Texas, Aoudad, Axis and a Semitar horned Oryx to name a few.

Looks like a great time there KW. And some good critters to eat! You're gonna have to carry some ball loads for your M12 for when you flush those Nilgai.

This one was a good 200 yards from me when I spotted him. I was able to get under some cover and make my way the 3/4 of a mile back to cabin for a rifle. Came back and tracked him across the place. He made his way to the neighbors place.

My affair with the Nilgai is a bit Hemingwayesque. Or maybe Herman Melville. LOL! It's like when I finally connect with the old Blue Bull going down there just won't be the same. A land of beyond....... He always affords me that small glimpse. Each time the odds get better!!!

Sometime you may need to shoot an elk and see just how good a prime piece of red meat can actually be. I don't care about the elk body, it is just meat, but that tenderloin in the back is unbeatable...

I'll have to try that elk hunting someday....

When Travis stops by tomorrow, get some pointers from him...

I was gonna say that....you beat me to it.


He says he's an ex-spurt.....
