Note the mass....  Standing over one of her many trophy mule deer, subsistence-and-sport huntress Gusty Wallihan appears every inch the frontier matron with her dressy bonnet, prairie-pattern cartridge belt, floral-embroidered gauntlets, hunting knife, and Remington-Hepburn rifle. 1895 xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | ||

Telescopic sight you can see craters on the moon with. Laser rangefinder that does the same. | |||

From Images in America - Steamboat Springs By David H. Ellis, Catherine H. Ellis The story of big-game hunting along the Yampa would be incomplete without mention of Mary Augusta Wallihan, seen above. Fortunately, "Gusty" wrote as well as she shot, and her husband could use a camera. Together they published many accounts of their hunts, including an 1891 incident when she dropped two big mule deer with one shot. She wrote, "I'll confess I was a little selfish -- I wanted both bucks very much. As I had lost the large one [earlier] I thought two with one shot would please my husband very much." Photo credit is given as Tread of Pioneers Museum, Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I'm guessing the cartridges are .38-40 Remington Hepburn. What do you think?  . | |||

Gren, I think those cartridges are bigger than .38-40 -- maybe .44-90 or even .45-100. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

I'm more impressed by the fact she could hunt the Southwest terrain in that dress. | |||

Did some Googling. Mary Augusta Wallihan and her husband, photographer A.G. Wallihan, were well known in the Yampa River country around Steamboat Springs, Colorado. She apparently wrote about many of her hunts, accompanied with photos by her husband. She describes an incident in 1891 where she missed a big buck, then decided to please her husband by killing two mule deer with one shot. There is an Augusta Wallihan Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Craig, Colo. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Someday, maybe someone will look at our hunting pictures and say, "I love old hunting pictures". . | |||

Now, how the hell did she kill that buck with that rifle? I thought you needed a rangefinder, moonscope, and a cartridge no smaller than a 300RUM! | |||

Racedog, the same way Fred Bear killed stuff with a recurve bow, wood arrows, no pin sights and nothing but wool plaid for camo.  There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Probably a 40-2.5" Sharps Straight and it is only prop. To save expensive ammo she probably killed the deer with the knife. | |||

We visited the Western Trails Center in Casper, and the wife looked over some of the bonnets they had for sale. She told me that was probably the best sun hat she ever seen, and this is a red haired woman that wears big floppy sun hats all the time. She said she wouldn't wear it, but she bought some little ones and makes our toddler girls wear them. | |||

I wonder how far you could walk in that dress through miles of sagebrush But then again, mule deer in many areas is pretty easy pickings " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar. Yours truly , Milan The Boarkiller - World according to Milan PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move... Man should be happy and in good humor until the day he dies...
