TonyRumore 1,332 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Just got back last week from a 7 day hunt in southern Wyoming. Ended up seeing decent bucks every day out, but this one was the best. 4 per side, 20" wide, 16" high, dressed out at 185lb. Shot at about 225 yards going nearly straight away, dropped on the spot.

Dirkenstien 2 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Nice buck, Tony. That's some beautiful terrain out there. Edited October 15, 2008 by Dirkenstien Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scoutjoe 276 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 What?!!? a black rifle being used for hunting? Seriously though looks like it was a heck of a time.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Nice work for something that used to be a .410 shotgun! Good looking buck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cellsworth 21 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 That's awesome Tony! I wish the Surefire .410 mags had worked out. I would have loved to get one of those rifles from you. Thanks for once again illustrating that "black rifles" do indeed have a place in hunting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOPMOD 254 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ok I know where I'm going to retire! You say that until you spend a few winters up there,lol Cold as hell,wind blows 70mph all day long,growing season is really short,land with water costs a ton of money and any goods and services you might want are an hour away most of the time. I moved up there after taking a few trips when the weather was decent but quickly found that the sparse population is due to the unbearable conditions present for 6 months out of the year. I don't mean to be the "Dream Killer" but you better be pretty acclimated to -30 temperatures and have some big $$$ if you want to live decently in that territory. Nice work Tony!!

Paulry 50 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I swear that lake looks like one up on the Beartooth HWY in Northwestern Wyoming out of Cooke City. Big Country! I lived in Billings for 10 years and would spend weekends up there. I didn't need to see this as I sit in Minneapolis. Good shot, what sighting system do you have on the Saiga? And what .375 cal is it? based on 30-30? This is the type of press modern rifles need not the Rambo cowboys (sorry to all cowboys) we see on You Tube!

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 That pic was taken about 60 miles west of Laramie (SE Wyoming) on my way to Riverside, population 59. The cartridge is a .444 Marlin, necked down to .375. Optic is a fixed compact 4x Burris. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

reoiv 1 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yeah, the terrain is much nicer then anything here in Oklahoma. Doesn't take much to be nicer than Oklahoma lol I love Wyoming, though it depends on where you're at. A lot of it is flat and boring like the pan handle in Oklahoma, but then you get places up by Cody or Jackson Hole and the boring drive to get there is instantly worth it. Another great place is the Black Hills in South Dakota up by Rapid City,Deadwood and Sturgis, yet another state that suffers from boring flat then HOLY SHIT AWESOME. Lots of great hunting there as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
