A huge congratulations to all of you hunters that participateD; and for the organizer of the hunt, nice job! Lots of work in the background goes on but it is all worth it, IMO!

It appears a great time was had - congrats to all! I hate I missed out on all the fun, but maybe next year.


It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Wow, looks like it was a great time. How many members attended, and how many are allowed each year? If I draw a bear tag this year, I won't be bear hunting next year and will be looking for something else to hunt.

Sounds like you did eat well. This is my kind of eating. It would be fun to join in. Sometimes Work causes problems !!

I guess I need to run for Congress or Senate then I would not have to show up, and could still get paid.

We videoed all of the hunts/kill shots. They were videoed on my wife's phone...and if I had a censor/beep button, they'd probably be good enough for public display...LOL...All these years of talking to James on the phone have wore off on me..hahahahaha

I got to watch the videos today and they are not suitable for sensitive ears ( language ).
I was present for the kills, but watching the videos reinforced how hard we hit them; particularly Jim and his Highland. Wow we were hard on 'em. And we cuss. A lot.

Looks like a great time! I agree with Rey. I'm a little surprised, but very happy, to hear the great results from the grand old .35 Rem. on that rather large beast. I'm also a little amazed someone would cross watusi with little, hairy Welsh cattle!

But for the grace of God, there, I go.

I just weighed the XTP from the 44 Magnum, the recovered weight is 297.1 grains.

I wanna once again encourage everyone to share a hunt with a fellow handgunner or two. It doesn't have to be on a preserve, or with members of this forum (which has been great). But make it a point to try. For years I handgun hunted in solitude, but in the last couple of years I have participated in some group events and have very much enjoyed them.

If I was a "one maker only" bullet person, which I`am not, its results like this that would almost make me want to cling to it
