For some reason, I thought you lived in WY. Sorry!!!!!

Those particular pics are from SC MT just north of the Park. I lived in Manhattan (22 mi. W of Bozone) for almost a decade. I hunted the Elkhorns, Gravelys, Absarokas, Beartooths, Snowies, Pryors and a few other spots here and there. As a kid I lived in BLGS, and before that we were out in the SE by Fallon. Thought Terry was a big town!

Work has recently brought me up to Alaska.

I've never hunted "off" of horses, but growing up I was around them a lot, and often my chores included taking care of them. Not pets, or even horses for hunting/packing, just working horses on ranches. There's a reason why so many ranchers have 4 wheelers. Though for moving stock, a good horse with a good rider is all business, and they are a joy to watch working as a team.

That pretty much sums it up...

I prefer to spend my days eating the rewards after the shot not tracking.


I believe he meant tracking an unwounded deer before the shot.


love to see interthem do that. A vision of Elmer Fudd enters the cranial cavity.


Oh, I bet he can track them real good. Nothing leaves a blood trail like roadkill.....

I think it looks pretty sharp for such a horrible job. I have a SS Ruger Hawkeye I want to put some irons on and cerekote to cover the chalky, white metal look of the SS finish that Ruger does. I dig the color of that finish. Might look good with the laminated Ruger Hawkeye stock.
Stopped by a smith in the area today and he had a '06 760 that had a busted forearm. He picked it up from an old fella that used it hunting the rocky, Fire Steel River basin in western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. She had a few miles but I thought of your gun immediately. Bad thing was I fell in love with a M77 RSI in 250 Savage and failed to look close at the 760. The action was butter smooth though.


Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
