A tale of 2 Wyoming Gals

Wyoming Gal # 1 you may recognize from a bear hunt a few yrs ago.
She brought Zac into this world a mere 7 weeks ago and wasn't going to miss deer season.
So opening morning we march into the hills with
a few spare "butt pads" and a ready supply of nourishment. Yep, Zacs' going deer hunting!
Gotta say, it threw a twist into opening day that I was proud to be part of.
Zac was a trooper, getting his butt pad changed
laying amongst the sandstone, sage and prickly pear. He took on a load of groceries and bedded
down for the rest of the morning.
We didn't connect on a deer for a few days but Zac was patient and showed his best side for the trophy pictures.

I know the focus has been on Zac but really I want to tip my hat to his mother, God bless her and to ALL the mothers like her.
There is hope for this world with gals like her in it.


Wyoming Gal # 2
Is the daughter of a friend of mine who wasn't going to miss deer season either.
Came home from freshman yr of college to hunt with her family.
4th morning of the season she smacks an
Absolute BRUTE!
Nice work Addy! Thanks for letting me help.


This buck stretches the tape at 32 3/4 INCHES!
Green scored gross at 199 B&C!
Couldn't of happened to a couple better Gals,
Enjoy and Safe travels

Legistine actu quod scripsi?

Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.




What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.
