Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles The Elmer Fudd Society arises from the ‘Fire!

Easy to do. Elmer is Elmer. No second place winner.

Here, just a bunch of Fudds being Fudds.

Ha!

My nephew sent me this. Though I'd add it to our Fudd collection.

Back around 1956 I shot a deer with a J.C. Higgins 30-06. Don't remember the exact load but back then I was using Sierra bullets almost exclusively. Mostly 180 gr. RNs. Last deer I shot with one of those bullets was back in Nevada sometime in the mid 1970s. Rifle back then was a Remington 660. I switched to that one because it was a lot lighter than the Higgins 30-06 up on Mt. Lewis at IIRC about 9,500" MSL.
Does that mean I qualify for a patch???

I’d say you pass with room to spare.

Super Fudd.

Fudd on steroids.

“ You get your patch to the club when you have shot a deer with your 30-06 and rn 180 grain bullets. Blue and walnut need only apply!”

Shot a 170 B&C with this combo last year and it’s all I use since that’s the combination Jack O’Connor recommended. Patch please.

Still using a JC Higgins Model 50. Great rifle

I have one as well, but the original bbl and stock are now gone in preparation for some work that was done to it.

You probably already a Fudd, but this project will add to your credentials.

Fudd award! My last buck this season. 180 grn RN Remington factory core-lokts
30/06



Ok now the Uber Fudd Award!!! This season’s first buck. 220 grn RN Hornady handload. Out of 30/40 Krag!!!

Doesn’t look like there’s much left.

Need a mackinaw jacket and a Stormy Kromer hat.

I killed my 1st deer in 1976 with that combo. A Remington 700 ADL in 30-06, 180 gr RN Corelocks.

But I replaced the walnut stock with a Brown Precision in 1983 and haven't hunted with a wood stocked bolt gun since. Guess I can't join since I'm a turncoat. If I feel the urge, I still have some 30-30 lever guns with walnut/blue.

Once I finish the redo on my Fuddmobile M70 06 I think I may well have the stock on my 1951 waffle top 336 in 35 refinished and have the metal rust blued. Alternatively have the stock duplicated and add a thin recoil pad since original LOP is too short. I really like that gun and it sports a Lyman peep. I think I’ll call that combo a double Fudd sundae!

Ha!

Can't argue with that.

DF

You're Fudd extraordinaire.

DF

It surely is.

kwg

Just Depends.

Wet or dry.

My last deer was killed with a 195 FN cast bullet from an old tang safety M77 Ruger in 30/06. will that qualify?

How about a virgin Marlin 336A .35 Rem waffle-top with aperture sight using factory loads with 180gr RN's??

Or a virgin Marlin 336SC Thutty-thutty waffle-top with aperture sight using factory loads with 170 gr RNs?

Or a 1st year Sako L61R Finnbear in .300 H&H with 180 grainers, but handloaded Swift Sciroccos?

Or a Sako L61R Finnbear in 30-06 using some old handloaded 165 gr RNs (maybe Speer?)?

Or a first gen Browning BLR 308 using 180 gr RNs? Have killed over 200 whitetails with that one.

Or a tanger Ruger 77R in 300 Win using 180gr RN handloads? Got a nice whitetail buck in the middle of a gawd-awful thunderstorm, then had to literally hang on for dear life to the trunk of a tree that blew down in front of me when a tornado came through.

And I've got a Stormy Kromer and some Bean's wool Johnson Guide Pants, with suspenders, and a pair of their Maine Guide boots I still use.

I ain't hit the requirement perzactly, but I've hit all around it as close as you can without nailing it dead center.

I'm in, Parker hale 30-06 with a hand loaded 180 grain Speer. The deer was not impressive, but it was tasty.
