GSSP, that is a whole heck-of-a-lot of animal! Who says handguns won't do the deed! Great trophy, great photo! Congratulations again!

GSSP, that is a great pic. You have fullfilled one of my dreams with that trophy.


Here is a pic of an antelope that I killed in casper Wyoming on opening day this year. I shot him at 555 yards with a XP-100 in 7 SAUM built by Kirby Allen. This is a friends gun, I was hunting with my 240 Weatherby Encore pistol and he was a little out of range with no no chance of getting closer, so I took his offer of the 7 SAUM. The lope is a little over 15". I am not looking for any discussion on the ethics of long range shooting, just sharing a pic. Thanks, Shawn

Great shooting!! You should be proud of yourself! Not only that, but it is a fine trophy!

7STDUBBERU,

Awesome buck and great LR shot! I took a nice 15-1/2" "lope" back in the early '80's with a 14" TC Contender in 30 Herrett; only about 225 yds. No argument w/ me on the LRH issue. I contribute a bit to the LRH site myself. Kirbly makes some great rifles. I shoot a 30-06 AI myself out, so far, to about 1000 yds.

GSSP,

THAT is a photo of a lifetime. Great moose! And taken with a normal handgun and cartridge too.

GSSP,

Don't you know you can't kill an animal that size with a gun that generates less than 1,000 FP of energy ? Aparently the moose didn't understand either.
Great trophy.

So a 4-5/8" Blackhawk in 45 LC using 335 gr cast is a normal moose gun????

Here is my Antelope I took the same day as Shawn's on the same ranch in Wyoming last week. 152 yds with a 7-08 XP100. Had to stalk nearly 2 miles to get the shot.

Stalk, the first mile was almost a dead run! Great job on catching up to and harvesting that fine buck.

Great antelopes guys; thanks for sharing! Hey Shawn, next year everyone can leave their guns and home and just use Doug's!

Thanks again for all of the posts. With hunting seasons now underway, let's keep this thread rolling!

That almost happened this year, make for easier travel for me.

Here is a photo of the lope I shot in Wyoming while hunting with Shawn. Shot was only 407 yards My Kirby Allen built 7 SAUM took 3 buck by 3 different shooters on this hunt.

Hey Doug, that is a great picture who took it?
