New here. Some hunting pics from the last couple yrs.

My wife with her first bull from her very first hunt. 842yd shot

A good friend and myself with his bear. Forget the exact number but it was 640 something yds.

Blacktail I got two yrs ago at 719yds

Blacktail taken from 574yds

Goat from 460 something yds

738yds

High cascade blacktail 363yds

My daughters buck she took from 384yds

Cat from 515yds


360 something yds
All of these were taken with my old sendero 300rum and a Mark 4 with the exception of the cougar which was taken with a friends GAP built 300rum. This year I'm trying out a surgeon 338 lapua with a nightforce. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to see how it does on game. I'll be taking it on its first hunt at the end of next month in Tx.

I didn't have him officially scored but measured the skull myself after 60 days and he should have been the 7th largest for Or. and 137 for B&C No skill involved in the hunt, though, to be honest. We knew he was there but never thought we'd see him. I'd filled all of my tags and took a friend up to whack a monster buck I'd been seeing. After a short time glassing, my friend said that he saw a cougar. I told him that I had a tag and would shoot it if he let me use his rifle (I had no tags so I didn't bring one). He handed me his RUM and ranged it for me. It was all uphill from there.....literally. lol Luckily, my friend may be small in stature but he's a packin machine.

Very impressive! anyone that can hunt the west side or Oregon or Washington, and pull trophies like those, KNOWS thier stuff. (I feel so less manly now) I ve never got anything that I would want to share, while hunting over there. Very difficult and NOTHING like hunting where Im from. Nice job,Thanks for sharing that it IS possible to be successfull on that side. Hats off to you

Haha, don't feel bad. You put me anywhere else and I'd have to hunt for my butt with two hands and probibly still couldn't find it. lol I've never taken a muley buck and have wanted to for awhile now but, when I get on that side off the hill, it all looks the same to me and I don't even know where to start. I just feel fortunate to live close to the woods and be able to spend so much time up there. I've found that, if I sit there long enough, sooner or later something dumb enough for me to get will walk out. Here's a pic I took the other day while out getting my lapua ready for Tx. Its an area that I normally hunt.
