Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots 1S in .35 Whelen

Work and a long, out-of-state family vacation has kept me out of the woods more than usual this year. I finally managed to get out this past weekend and toted the Whelen for the excursion. My desire for meat in the freezer overcame my desire for antlers and this little meat buck decided to oblige.






One shot and he was done. Only ran about 15yds...a 250gr bullet @ 2500fps is pretty persuasive.

Since Photobucket did its flop last year...I decided to refresh last year's pic using Rick's photo service here on the 'Fire.




If I am lucky, I should be able to get out one more time before the season ends. Hopefully I can get at least one more for the freezer.

That's a pretty rig, and in a classy caliber. I hope you get to chase after elk with it soon!

Thanks.

Can't wait to tote that rifle on an elk trip. My wife and I were planning an elk hunt to New Mexico for this fall but not sure that is going to happen now with some of the other projects we have going on. It might have to wait till 2019.
