rlong5 · April 28, 2006, 06:40 PM

Thanks, Jon.

I used to daydream about elk when I was a kid hunting whitetails in PA. Moved out here a few years ago, and had to give it a try. I got skunked the first two years, then was at right place at the right time last fall. All of that long-range practice with the .300 WSM; then only needed a 55-yard shot for this guy. But I'm not complaining. He's tasty!

FirstFreedom · April 28, 2006, 08:38 PM

yeah, rlong, I envy you too. Nice bull - I dream of elk hunting as well. May be able to swing an archery hunt this fall.

I took this buck before I went to work last Dec. The brow tines are as tall as the rest of the rack, which I thought was neat. The wife insisted that I have it mounted and put on the wall.

Nice Hawgs Big Jon!

Huntinfool · May 1, 2006, 09:36 AM

Hey Folks,

Here's the turkey I shot Sat. morning at 10:30 he gobbled once about 400 yards away or more. I called aggressively with long pauses between calls. He came in silently and I shot him in the head and neck at 35 yards. (I checked after the shot with a laser rangefinder!).

Shot with Browning Gold Hunter 12 gauge 3 1/2" magnum #4 Heavy Shot standard full choke. DOA did nothing but flop at the shot!

He weighed 18 pounds on a certified set of scales. (Town & Country feed store) Had a 9&3/4" beard & 1" spurs.

Chuck -- very nice bird!

I've really been blessed over the last few years... I've been hunting in Dooley county Georgia... I killed this 8pt buck @304 yards, and this bohemith 174-1/2 lb (oth) doe at 150 yards in 2004; then killed this 228 lb (oth) nine pointer in 2005 with a neck shot at 250 yards. I wonder what this season will bring?
PS: All were killed with a Winchester Model 70 in a 270WSM with 130grain nolser balistic tip

gunslinger1911ACP · May 2, 2006, 07:40 AM

that's the largest doe i've ever seen. nice shootin'.

Flaman · May 2, 2006, 05:00 PM

Thanks for the compliment. I really treasure having the oportunity to take a doe that big. I've never even seen one that big . When I first saw her, I thought she was a buck!!! I really looked carefully before I took the shot.

big jon · May 4, 2006, 12:22 PM

all of those are great pix thanks for sharing

Jack O'Conner · May 5, 2006, 06:16 AM

This buck was taken after a long stalk in rough country. I'll always treasure this memory, even if it had been big doe.

I haven't been able to go out again since 2003, but that was a good year. I took this West Texas Mulie south west of Sanderson from 167yards with a single round of .308 Hornady 168gr TAP out of my Chinese Dragunov.

Here's the first deer taken with that rifle back in 1999. It's my longest shot to date with the gun in the field --- 250 yds --- which is about the edge for the 4x scope's ability to verify points before dropping the hammer. Ammo used for this one was Hornady's 165gr SP "Custom" in the gray box, and the deer literally didn't take a single step. He just fell over dead.

That same rifle also took a 120lbs. male cougar in 2000, but I can't find the photos for the life of me (got the pelt on the wall though). Both of the last two were taken on the Sombrero Peak ranch on the border of Big Bend National Park. If I find other pictures, I'll post 'em
