Absence of the usual suspects on the fire?

Been waiting for reports from the usual suspects, Tanner, Starsky, huntsman22, Smokepole, Brad etc. My season was a bust (that's why its called hunting I suppose) so I was hoping to live vicariously through you guys, but eerily silent. What's the scoop?

I don't think Starsky kills much unless Tunner has time to guide him.

Prove me wrong?

Busted this year for me, too 'swede. Couldn't find the antelope I was after during the season, and didn't pull the trigger on an elk. Coulda, but I opted out. Wasn't willing to go thru the packout for a little raghorn......getting lazy, I reckon.

I don't see Tuner in the pics...

[quote=starsky]Glassed him up at 430 yards, watched his rear end for about a minute and when he turned he looked decent so I sent a 140VLD on its way and then he began rolling down through the oak brush... The 'Rudy was Offsides' T shirt has some serious killing mojo.

Really should've got a spray tan before that hunt.

Swede,

Think a bunch of us are getting tired of the fire these days. Lots of mental masturbation about things people will never do. I'd rather go out and do it.

Shoot me a PM and I'll send some pics. It was a fairly decent fall...

You look better without your man bun starsky.

The fact you used a Berger 6.5mm 140 gr VLD is enough penance for the King.

Well done Serf.

It's like clubing baby seals.

Whomp Whomp Whomp.

Forgot you invented using those on critters. Got any mil, er I mean "proprietary" 1/3 MOA turrets laying around? I busted another phugging Leupold...

LOL.

Walt Berger never forgets you dip schit.

Quote

As the century turned, we had all but given up on the notion that we could make a “Hunting” bullet which is also match grade. In 2005, everything changed. While attending the SHOT Show, we were approached by John Burns who at the time was with The Best of the West TV show. He asked if we would be interested in sponsoring their hunting TV show. Walt replied “We don’t make a hunting bullet”. John’s response was “Oh yes you do.”

John pulled out a portable DVD player and showed us 45 minutes of bang flop after bang flop. Being a long time hunter, Walt was very impressed with how quickly the game was dropping after each of the hits. John relayed that every animal was taken with Berger VLD match grade bullets and that he’d taken or watched personally hundreds of big game taken with Berger VLD over the years.

Swede, thanks for including me in that bunch but not a lot for me to post this year. Had ankle surgery earlier this year and it's still not right. On top of that, had to spend an unplanned 3 days in the hospital in early September with a staph infection in my elbow so I had to turn in my muzzloader bull tag. Got a decent antelope buck, but that was about it for me. I'll just have to get after it next year.

Is that a no on turrets? Dammit... Oh wait hang on what about one of those 10 pound backpacking rifles? You know, the ones that were priced pretty high with the B&C stocks? Hey whatever happened to that gig anyway?

I've been selling snake oil and guiding high fence hunts for the last few months, so you will have to excuse my absence. I'll be on here more often now knowing I can once again be shown the way of the samurai by John.

I also have no idea how to post photos anymore. If somebody has some spare time I can send you some to put up here

Primer for a young guy who can't figure out todays tech?

Greybull thought they could survive with a non compete without me, that did not happen.

My non compete is now behind me.

Berger 6.5 140 grain VLD's work great. Stuff dies.

Hey Alfalfa, can I book one of those hunts? And while you're at it, what rifle rest do you recommend for the window frame of my truck?

Thanks!!

Busy season, not quite done yet. Loved your pictures as much as I did the first time I saw them in 2013, John!

Dang Tanner , some fine animals!! I'm hardly an expert at judging sheep but I'd say those 1st 3 rams are mighty impressive. Some fine mule deer as well. Thanks for posting - much appreciated!!

Thanks for the photos Tanner.
Looks like you had some good days hunting.

+1, that fourth sheep must've come off a feedlot.......

I need a Pronghorn Dog.

Noticed that as well!

Tanner, great pics! Is one of the gentlemen from Sheep Shape?

Tanner,

I understand the pictures of the other critters but killing a Boston Terrier was mean.

Wow that last sheep was a pig! Great pictures

Fantastic pics Tanner. Wow!

Tunner,

Those were the last stuff I killed with the aforementioned 140 VLD but the first bull was 2014.

Bit fresher.

Be interested in hearing about those hunts when time permits.
