Great David!

...picture of the Ram and rifle??

Congrats David!!

Will be some good eating at that house. Enjoy, Great job, And you know not everyone get a kill every time. But sounds like a good time was had by all.

I've been chuckling since I read that yesterday about him shooting the hood ornament! Did the bullet over-penetrate?

I shot a groove in my bedroom windowsill when shooting at a crow in the backyard with my first .22. Mortified, I filled it with wood putty (with all the attendant skill of a 12 year old) in the vain hope that my old man wouldn't see it. Being a varnished piece of wood, it stuck out like a sore thumb. I think my Mom ratted me out as it only took a day or so for Dad to accost me about it. To my surprise his only concern was if I got the crow or not. (I didn't.)

Congrads on the Elk, you should get what's left of the Ram and wrap it up for a Christmas gift for him!

Haven’t shot my truck, but did shoot the pipe rack on my company truck while rabbit hunting one night. It put a nice neat hole in that 1 1/2 pipe. Congrats and good eating. There are a few Elk on the place I hunt. I don’t think there is a season on them. I’ve never had the urge to shoot one, but it is exciting to see one.

Congratulations, well done, good luck with the bison

The ram is still attached to the truck. Just a little worse for wear. I'll try to get a pic when Dave isn't looking. He doesn't want me to photograph it or say anything about it. It was Dave's truck, Ralph shot the ram. So far I haven't shot any trucks. i had to go to the doc today. When i checked in with Dave he said Ralph shot at a few more too far away(?). At least they are down where we can shoot them.

Congrats David! Just the thought of backstrap makes my mouth water.

Great weekend in WV. My cousin got a 3 point on opening day, yesterday, and I got a spike this morning. Started off Saturday, working on the cabin and plinking. Sunday we did some stand checking and setting up surprises for my cousins crew. His guys stop in at my place before going to theirs, to sight in. More on that in the Savage forum. Monday, I wasn't feeling 100% and only stayed in my stand till 11:30 then went back to camp with the chills and a rough stomach. Hadn't seen anything on my property since we got there on Saturday, so a nap sounded like a good idea to me. Started feeling better in time to go to my cousins for dinner. Couple hours of BS'ing and back to my place. A couple of my guys like sipping Whiskey after a long day, so I bought them a $100 bottle of Wellers Special Reserve, and let them try and teach me the fine art of Whiskey sipping. They liked the Weller's. Me, "through the lips and over the gums" is my idea of sipping! Got up at 4:30. Fried potatoes and onions, scrapple and eggs, then back on stand. It was chilly, in the 20's, pretty stiff wind. Thought it was going to be a repeat of Monday, About 7:50 I set my rifle in the corner of my tree stand, and backed up two little steps and sat down. As soon as my but hit the seat a doe came running up and stopped right in front of me and started munching grass. She looked right at me, then went back to munching. I'm thinking Busted, and can't reach my rifle. Then she looked behind her, and took off into the woods. I'm thinking she has a boy friend behind her and grabbed my 250 and sat back down. He came sniffing along behind her and never stopped. When he cleared the big Cedar in front of me, I made the incredible 25 yard shot to the neck and dropped him.

he looked for love in the wrong place

Good job! Steaks in the freezer!

Way to go Joe! Pretty nippy back there.

Thanks guys. Typical weather for this area. Couple days in the 20's and back to shorts today. I think I've only seen it break zero a few times in my life. I can handle 20's OK. If it gets in the teens, I get cold. An old Norwegian saying, "there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes". All I own is shorts and T shirts.

Went to my cousin's for Thanksgiving. That gave me an opportunity to sneak pics of the ram. My wife said she mentioned the ram shot to Dave and he said David wasn't supposed to tell anyone about it. She said I won't tell anyone. I'm in trouble if this gets back to Pinedale. Heh, heh.
enjoy


He shot it with a sporterized Argentine Mauser. Not something that belongs in this post. He would question why I wanted a pic of it anyway.
They only have till Tuesday to fill their cow licenses.

From this afternoon with 99C .22-250 Fusion 55gr

nice buck and rifle.

cow buffalo zilch, Savage model 99EG 308 buffalo gun one.
Got a buffalo yesterday. Shot it at about 40 yards just behind the horn on the left side of the head. Bang, flop. The mess on the right side of her head is the exit hole. The load was 180 grain Nosler partition, 40.5 grains of RL15 and a Fed 210 primer.

Oh, very nice! You have room in the freezer for that? I think I can squeeze some in if you need somewhere to store it.

we'll find room somehow
