Well Howdy There, Colt357!
Missed you at Ponoka this year, in fact haven't heard from you in some time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Nice buck, is that the one we were field scoring last year?
Cat

Hey, Cat, how you doing? Yeah Ponoka didn't happen for me this year. Sure sorry I missed you there. Would have like to visit, How did you do? Did your son make it down, too? No, this is my 06 buck taken on Tuesday morning.

Dave

Fabulous story and series of photo's, Mr. colt! I really enjoyed it all. Congrats on a very fine buck! How much propane do you go thru in 12 days of freezing weather?! lol

Great buck and story. however, I really like that rifle! that has got to be the most "classic" model 70 hunting rifle a fellow could ask for. I had one but I like your better.

Not sure how i missed this story but i am glad i read it.
Nice buck and,well nice!!
Too damn bad about your stand.
Some people.

That is one fantastic story and the pictures just put it that much more over the top.

Those are two awesome bucks you guys got.

Thanks for sharing all the pics and regaling that tale for us!!

Thanks, Warhawk. We've been hunting this place for over 15 years, and it still has appeal! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dave

Thanks, Rackmastr. And thanks for the link to the "albertagame.com" site. I'll need to spend a little time there when I get the chance.


Dave

Thanks, Stan. This is one ofthe few deer I have field photos of. Had to share some of them. My SOP is to take the shot at the end of the day.

The stand was a labor of love! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And we do agree on "jerks".

Dave

Hindsite, you too kind, but, thanks.

Dave

boartuff, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate your sentiment.

As to the propane...about 40lbs. And worth every peeny! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Dave

257bob, thanks, he is a fine buck. Now, that rifle is my avatar rifle, and she is the finest production rifle I've personally ever seen; and she encompasses every quality I desire in a hunting rifle. Just for you, here is the pic in my avatar that shows the off side. Enjoy! [img][image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/colt357/70SGatstand.jpg[/img][/image]


Dave

Texas Hunter, glad you found it. I agree,
"Some people" should be...well you fill it in! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dave

DCUP, your welcome.

As for the pics? I guess I'm just lazy...if every pic is worth a 1000 words, you can see how much typing I saved myself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Dave

Colt,

First congrats on your fine buck........great story and pics, well done !

Tony

Thanks, hicountry.

Colt,

The pic of your model 70 is one of the best pictures of a rifle I have ever seen. One of the best pics I have seen on this site.

Probably one of the best pieces of wood I have ever seen on a factory rifle.

Congrats again.

Tony

good show.

hicountry, thanks again. I wish I could get all my pics to come out as nice as that one.

Yes it has an awesome piece of wood. I had always dreamed of having a rifle with a nicely figured stock, and could hardly believe my eyes when I went down to pick it up. The pics in the magazines of the proto types of this model were all quite plain, but the writers all said the production models would have a little better grade stocks. So when I ordered it, I expected something a little above most production pieces, but certainly not this far above. And, to top it all off...she shoots!!!

Dave

Excellent...this postreminds me of the old "Fred Bear" movies I used to see at the picture show!
