WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Well I haven't posted in a long time. This year has been crazy and I figured if I didn't post a few pictures now I never would. I don't have pictures of everything but this is how it all went down. I drew a Gila tag in NM and hunted for 6 1/2 days and didn't find a big bull, but when friends showed up Rob and Joe I decided to take this bull. Thanks again guys. for more stories, Rob posted this on AZSJ here is the link link I then hunted with a buddy of mine for 4 days, coming close to a few big bulls calling a few in and having a great time and he took this bull the day I was to return and help. Huge congrats Dan. Over the last year I've been working on getting a rifle together. I had a guy here in Payson build me a gun. This thing is awesome. It is a 300 ultra Remington action with a 28 1/2 inch Schneider barrel on Hi teck specialities stock. Shoots under 1/2 inch at 200 yards on good days. 200 yard group with 210 vld 90 gr retumbo Here it is with the claw I helped on an early rifle hunt, what a wonderful lady and she made the first kill with my new rifle through trees and loved both the claw and the gun. Then I went up and helped my brother on his first deer hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Took a break to take the kids out bear hunting and squirrel hunting. Found a few bears but couldn't make it work, son got to watch a sow and cubs all morning one day and we had a great time. Here are the kids out. So now we had some Coues deer hunts, had a great time I have these last two pictures. I have a buddy that had an Oct. tag but was in NM helping/guiding on a Mulie hunt so he didn't know if he would get to hunt, well he had a couple of days, called me up and I took him to a spot that held good bucks but I didn't realize how good these bucks were. We glassed one up for him and he killed it one shot with my 300 ultra at 812 yards both shoulders, the buck was bigger than I expected. 113 3/8 Went in the next morning and another buddy killed off the same ridge, 650 yards, I didnt' get permission for his picture so I will just post the buck. 111 3/8 So it has been a good year so far.. Got a few more hunts for mulies and then couple of family members have late bull tags and my wife still has December WT in 23 so hopefully a few more pictures to come.

WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted October 29, 2009 I talked to Ric and got permission to put his mug on the site so here he goes.. I wasn't able to be with them on the shot because I had to go back to work, but he made a good shot with pretty bad winds. Nice job Ric. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Kinda on a side note, when I was a kid I read a book about Pecos Bill and his horse widowmaker and I always thought it would be cool to "name" a gun even though it sounded a bit cheesy, but I love this gun, it shoot awesome so maybe I'll name it black widow maker or something stupid, but hey I'm impressed and very happy.
