I was really dreading getting up to go to the gym in the morning, thanks for the motivation. That's a great bull and overall experience, cheers.
If it was easy, everybody would do it.

Beautiful bull and great pics. Good job, for a young man.

Congrats Tanner, solo hunting sure isn't for the faint of heart, but it's very rewarding when it all comes together that's for sure. Plus when you have reinforcements to help that makes it a little easier for sure.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

You are one hell of a Hunter. It's very apparent your passion and skill set for chasing critters is second to few. Well done young man.......wish I had that drive but at 60 it's getting tough.

Nice! Congrats. What kind of 7mm rifle are you using? Been getting a strong itch for a 7 mag.

Nice! Congrats. What kind of 7mm rifle are you using? Been getting a strong itch for a 7 mag. I just saw your question, sorry for the delay. That's just an older factory stainless 700 7mm Rem Mag bedded into a McM Gamescout, topped with a SWFA 10x42 MQ in Talleys LWs. The bolt has some bling done by Feldkamp but that's about it. Pretty low drama and affordable rifle and it's been super reliable so far. I'm a big fan. Tanner

Tanner - is the twist on your factory barrel the reason you're not using 195 bergers or 180 scenars?

No sir, my barrel stabilizes the 180s fine, but it shoots the 168 VLD quite a bit better and I like how they do (most of the time) on animals. The 168 and 180 are pretty much a wash for drift when you factor in the additional velocity on the 168. I haven't tried the 195 in my barrel and don't imagine I have enough twist for it. Tanner
