Eland SlayerTexas Fallow Deer & Four Horn Sheep
I spent the last few days hunting in the Texas Hill Country with my buddy Rusty Kimbrell at his ranch. I had originally planned on hunting Sika, but after 2 1/2 days of chasing them around without any success....I switched over to Fallow and took this great old buck on the last afternoon! Also got a big ol' stinky Four Horn as well.
Here are a few pics for you guys....
And last, but certainly not least....a celebratory smoke and scotch

Big Wonderful WyomingNice photos, nice animals, nice beard.
Just like I said on THF.
What is the deal with your rifle, I hadn't noticed the zebra camo before.
Looks good.

BWW,
Thanks bud!
The rifle is a Remington 700 Sendero SF II in .300 Win Mag. I had a custom textured epoxy paint job done by MG Arms in Houston. I also had an oversized bolt knob and and spiral bolt fluting done by Kampfeld Custom.

Correct....I was hunting a 400 acre high fenced property. I'm sure it sounds easy....but it was absolutely not. Even I was surprised...
There were only 2 Sika bucks left on the property (they have been trying to eradicate them). They stayed together, and we only saw them twice in 2.5 days. Both times were at 400-500 yards and running from us already. I will be going back in September to try again.
