Title: one reason for my new Bradley
Post by: micman on December 08, 2010, 05:49:22 PM
This summer I rode my Harley through two provinces and ten western states, I stopped at most BQ joints I could. Wanted to try all different types and just check out ideas. Got home from my bike trip and went hunting with my kid and a couple of buddies. This is what my kid shot. Just shy of 900 lbs on the hook at the butcher. Freezer is now full with Buffalo(Bison) Moose and Whitetail.  I am gonna love my new Bradley and all the friends I am meeting on this site.(http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x388/micman2/IMG_2855.jpg)

There must be a story behind that buffalo.   Let us in on it.    Oh, and what's the muzzleloader you're shooting?

Thinking its not a Smokepole looks like maybe a 300 Mag or 7mm with Bi-pod legs

Well I keep trying to reply to the questions but alas computers kill me. Well as for how many shots just one, right behind the left ear and down a little. one bullet one kill. As for the gun no its not a smoke pole. Would have been nice if it was for nostalgia reasons. Since the hunt we have now acquired a 58 cal. black powder muzzle loader rifle and a Pedersoli Sharps 45-70 replica.  As for the gun Kevin you are not to far off. It is a 30-06 with a 180 grain bullet, gun was a little to small for an animal that large so the kid had to stock really close to get a clean shot. A buddy backed him up with 338 win mag just in case but wasn't needed. I filmed the whole thing was pretty cool to watch after words on a big screen.

Mickey ;D ;D

the bi-pod fooled me.   Looked like the ram rod.   Behind the ear?   That would be a good shot.    The 30-06 should be plenty.   Works on moose.   I retired mine and went to a 300 WSM.    It's a little flatter shooting and hits even harder.

Raises hand.......If you filmed it do you think you could load it to youtube?  I would love to see that hunt.  Congrats to you and your son on the hunt.  It is something that he will NEVER forget.  Got to love moments like these.
