Very nice...come on details. Gun, load, stalk, shot distance? Mike 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. | |||

good gal! that one. the expectant mother of a friend of mine. you gotta love a wyoming gal she was wrestlin calves at a branding, 3 weeks ago and wasn't going to sit at home when she found out shane (her husband)and i were going bear hunting. we climbed for nearly 2 hrs and got to the perch about 5pm. the trail up was a carpet of griz and black bear tracks. we sat till nearly 8pm and i finally spotted this guy,i had made a run on him the other night and didn't "get it done" i started looking around for the approach and was limited by a 200 ft deep gulch, 300 yds wide directly to my front. the opposite side of the gulch was an old burn and by crossing to get closer i would lose my visual of the bear. i ranged the small meadow at 608 yds and started doing the math, there was zero wind and a gentle upslope to lay prone on. i had 2 spotters and ample followup room. i made me a nest with my backpack and cranked the scope up. they both called the first shot high,but right over his shoulders and he ran another 25yds upslope before stopping to look back at what scared him. i got settled back in and rolled him off the mountainside with a double shoulder pass-thru shooting 150 grn nosler ballistic tips. that shoulder was later descibed by the pretty girl as "a bag of crushed ice" we finished skinning by head lamp and came off the mountain in the dark of a beautiful spring evening,a sliver of the moon peeking and no wind and temps around 55. was a pretty good night on the mountain. | |||

Wow, sounds like a great hunt. Love to see some more pictures of the area you were hunting as some day I would love to hunt wyoming. Thanks!
