Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska 7mm Remington mag forAlaska

LMAO. Yeah we can look on here and come to the same conclusion....

Well... I know my bone terminology...some of it anyway.. (That's not a misprint.) He was up a tree pretty well, so shooting off from "sticks" I guess. He shot twice and the animal was hit in the neck (grazed) and had two broken hinds. He was still full of spunk when I approached so I put one center-mass, broadside, when he raised his front end up - I thought he was going for it, not realizing he was broke up already. I gave my buddy a box of ammo over 10 years ago; it was an MTM box so 50 holes, but It probably wasn't filled all the way. He needed to buy ammo last year. I'm pretty sure won't wear out his rifle. I imagine he probably isn't a crackshot but I wouldn't be surprised if the "femur-breaker" also killed a sapling or two prior.

(Both femurs were broken near their lower ends, right above the joint, so mostly just bone and skin involved, very little muscle. Even so, a pretty good showing for a cup-n-core bullet.)

My Fellow Harvard Alum Ed Rasmusson specifically hunts with a 7 Rem Mag. He had filled the former NBA central headquarters with all sorts of trophies. He has told me several times that his custom 7 Rem mag is all that he has ever used.

For folks who are not from Alaska. Ed sold National Bank of Alaska to Wells Fargo for north of 750 million dollars. He spent 275,000 for a First Nation hunt in Kluane National Park where he shot a 176 inch Dall Ram. He paid Terrence Cole to write his History of National Bank of Alaska and had 10 pages concerned with Sheep hunting and how Elmer and Ed hunted with the Dixons in Canada.

I had terrible luck with a 7 Rem Mag once but that is another story all together. It was a freak fluke but it is interesting that if you go to the Undergraduate Dean's office at Harvard you will see a 62 inch moose in their office. It is a great story.

You don't have anything to 'splain! I was just trying to focus the picture.

*Someone* else used a bad word....

That weren't the aiming point, no way, no how.

Gotta make sure we're clear.
