Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Europe 2011 season moods & good times.

Hi ET,

Part of mountain goat may be, but old and tired one. Time pass, i need to control my weight more often. And as i like to eat and cook...But with will, heart and soul i can make my 55 years old meat climb and walk to 10000 feet. A bit slower than 15 years before but i can play with friends 20 years younger.

Will going on till i can.

Hunting fool: for sure, try to enjoy the more i can before years take their toll. And remember, it's a part of my job too. And your allowed to say i suck!

Regards

Dom

I hope you know that "You Suck, You Officially Suck, and You Turbosuck" designate ENVY in increasing degrees!!! Our friend Pieter has posted a couple of him with Cape Buff so he Officially Sucks too!!!

Thanks Dom. The chamois I know from that name. The isard is completely new to me and I would most likely confuse it with a chamois at first glance. Nice touch the Europeans have with the "last meal" from his mouth.

Glad to hear about the Beretta. They just recently got the contract with the SA Police to supply Beretta 9mm's.

EvilTwin - there are many suckers on this forum! I still have to shoot a white tail that I will gladly confuse with a muly! I can taste white tail thats how bad I need to hunt one.

Way cool pics. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Motorist,

Do i need facebook account to open picture? I can succeed yet and don't have book account...

First i did'nt want to post these pictures but after all, why not!

The season for me is over till 1st of june and roe deer buck hunting opening. Pictures were taken the 29 of february, last day of general and mouflon hunting season. My friend has a tag for female so went hunting with daughter who was in school holidays.

We walk and stalk all morning not able to found young female we were looking for (better meat). In the afternoon to be sure the zero of her K1 6,5x57R was right, i shot a big fox off hand at more than 100m and killed it. Then after, walking a bit, we made a stalk on a bunch of mouflons, finding the good one. Alice and me ended crawling on knees and hands (they had seen us), using bushes as concealment. She took the shot at 70m lying on my right shoulder, the female looking at us at an angle. The handloaded hot roaded 8,2g KS did the job killing her on the spot. Day was beautiful, warm, with fantastic blue sky, as in springtime, after 3 weeks of cold to -17�C, never climbing above minus 5�C.

Atfer that shot the season was over, i (we) were in very good mood. Ready for another one!

Taken from the Caroux, far away in the distance what's look like clouds are the white summits of the Pyren�es mountains, border between France and Spain.


Not too high an hill, the place we hunt climbs to 1100m, around 4000feet. But it's always up and down and tiring.



After the shot, Alice (17) and her little Merkel K1 stutzen in 6,5x57R. Light to carry, powerful enough, accurate the little rifle and it's cartridge are easy to deal with. She like the very soft recoil of this ammo.

Writing frog..probably yes you need FB account. From my side I can't upload here pictures as you do. All pictres are in my computer and not on public sites.
