Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Got my Big Horn !

After applying for 17 years, finally drew a tag.

Up near "The Sleeping Indian", 288 yards, Benelli R1, Nightforce 2.5-10x32, 288 yards, my load 165 gr Accubond.

Fantastic outfitter !

I bet he's chugging dead ram cock as we type.

Careful, if you say something nice to me, you'll be put on the troll hit list.

They may even threaten to kill you !

6.5x55 M96 Mauser Werke given by Swdes to Denmark



Same R1 that nailed sheep.

Very nice ram ABeee.
Where is "the sleeping indian"?

And what caliber is your R1?

I had one in 270 Short mag. It was very finicky but with a load of H1000 and a 160 Gr Nosler Partition it would shoot very close to MOA. I killed an elk 2 seasons ago with it at 400 yards. That's the longest shot on a elk I have ever taken, but it was not a problem with the R1.
I sold it to a very good friend of mine last year. I just never go the warm-fuzzes from it the way I do my Mausers, but I can't really say anything bad about the rifle. Soft shooting, accurate and super well made. I owned if for a few years and I killed a few deer, elk and antelope with it. I had no complaints.

More wisdom form a defrocked coastie who lives on the "Riber" and does nothing but live here and be an azzhowl.

The Sleeping Indian is a mountain in the Gros Ventre range near Jackson.

The R1 is a 300 winmag that is set up for a suppressor (not used on hunt).

I also have a 270 WSM one that (as with the 300) has exceptional wood. Have not shot it much but just bought a Z800 3.5-10 conquest for it that will get tried when we return to WY in June.

Never understood the WSM in a long action rifle. Wished it were a regular 270 WCF or 280 AI.

Don't get used to seeing me as the troll attack (steelhead) has begun.

I hunt, they troll (yes that's a 1809 Baker military flintlock rifle)

I hope the poor basturds only took cash......

you done fu.cked up larry toot.

Theres always one turd that floats to the top...

Massa, who is dat 'tard ?

Sadly, an accomplishment someone else deserved.

I am making (2) assumptions here...1) this was in Wyoming, and 2) you didn't take your orange off for the picture.......

So, assuming those assumptions are correct, where's your orange?

You obviously don’t need a scope your coke bottles should be good enough

Great magnafication on those bad boys.
Just don’t look up at the sun your burn your eyes out old man.

I thought Root died a few years ago?

I spit a lougie out every time I go through Livonia in his memory.......

On the map, Sleeping Indian is actually Sheep Mountain. Imagine that! It's a prominent landmark in the valley, right across from the airport. It's also the place where one of Bill Clintons secret service c130s crashed for reasons unknown.

Wow I never wear orange....

Anyhow nice sheep elk and antelope. Dunno why all the hate...
