Poobah do you eat those? I’ve heard they’re awful, just wondering.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

Nice trophy Tom and don't take heat for using the finest English cartridge that Mauser ever designed.
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"

Good one!
I’m taking my 14yr old son on our 1st ever out of state hunt together next year to West Texas for aoudad … I can’t wait! Going with some buddies as well. It’ll be a good group of guys and the outfitter we are booked through looks to really take some nice rams. This post just makes me want to get out there and get after em!
