Took this guy at 1630 hrs today in my upper hayfield. Made a 105 yard spine shot with my sporterized Argentine Mauser. I am looking forward to the fresh meat.  ~Ann   | ||

Hi Ann: Kinda short on horn soup. Hope you enjoy the fine eating meat as well. hehe! Beats hell out of tag soup! Are you limited one per year like we are out here? This plus the one awhile back you got from some other doings going to be enough? Cheers, am happy for you. George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!"

Nice... congrats and good shooting Ann! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

George, In Missouri you can shoot up to two bucks- one in archery and one in firearms. I passed on a little basket rack during archery. Passed on some does too. I have six sheep headed to freezer camp so I held out hoping for a larger buck once firearms started but they were not coming around. I don't mind a yearling at all, the meat is fantastic. ~Ann | |||

Good job, Ann.  Is your Mauser a 7x57? Tony Mandile - Author "How To Hunt Coues Deer" | |||

Tony, it's a .30-06. Sorry for leaving that detail out.  It's been a good rifle for me. It's taken game in Africa, Canada and here at home. It originally was obtained by my grandfather and then he changed it over. I shoot Federal Premium 180 grain NP's with it. ~Ann | |||

Reasoned I asked what cartridge it was because way back in the 1960s, I bought an almost-new 7x57 Argentine Mauser in NJ for $17.95!!! When I moved to Phx a year later, I had a gunsmith do all the metal work to sporterize it, and then I bought a semi-inletted Fajan stock which I finished myself. It was a great shooting little rifle that I used on several successful mule deer and javelina hunts. I eventually traded it sometime in the late 1970s for a Browning A-bolt in .338 WM in preparation for an upcoming grizz hunt in BC. Tony Mandile - Author "How To Hunt Coues Deer" | |||

Well done, Ann. I hunted 25 miles north of your old stomping grounds in Michigan, near Marlette. Passed on some younger 6 and 8 pointers, holding out for a 3+ year old buck. My buddy shot a nice 9 pointer. Jesus saves, but Moses invests | |||

Bud, I hunted deer many times in the Marlette area! Lots of them there. Good luck to you! ~Ann | |||
