I don't think there's any hunting more fun than jackrabbits. Dove is a close second!

I never get tired of showing off game taken with my 400 Whelen. It's a left handed model 70, Shilen barrel, NECG banded front sight, barrel band swivel, rust blued and drilled and tapped for a Lyman 48. This year it wore a Redfield 2 3/4x Post and Crosshair but it changes back and forth between that and the Lyman 48.

This is a dry caribou cow taken near the McClaren River.

I put it back in its walnut for a 10 point whitetail. No pics it was on my land- no camera.

My father Kayeoodie, was kind enough to let me borrow one of his 1895s in 35 Winchester. So this evening my oldest son and I were out at our place and I put a 250 gr Hornady round nose through the shoulders of an 8 point. The loads he sent me with were some I made for him last year for an elk hunt. Makes deer fall like a sack of potatoes.

A little small but it was a slow hot season and I didn't shoot one last year waiting for the big one. The longest deer shot of my life and the only one without a scope. Later ranged it at 195 yards. 53' 30-06 with a 165 Gameking.

Nice shot Horseman, nice rifle too.

Good shooting with an iron sighted rifle. It's hard not to like a pre-64 model 70. Good job.
