I have written an article for the Shootist magazine about my Vintage Hunt . The editor is talking about adding a Vintage Hunting column to the magazine .

I was bored tonight , so I snapped a picture of my rifle , pistol and the empty cartridge that killed my 10 point Buck .

Nice pic and I hope the Vintage Hunting column works out. Your profile photo and this thread tie into the book I am currently reading... Hunting trips of a Ranchman.

Cheers

Were you in the Mech.INF

I have been working with a Pietta 44wcf pistol to go with my rifle . I think they will make a good combination together .

I have my guns lined up for Deer season . I also went with a El Paso John Wayne rig .

Nice outfit you have lined up for hunting season, Rowdy. I'm not sure what I'll be using next fall yet, but I do look forward to getting my ol '73 out to the range soon and enjoying some 200 yard shooting with my 44-40.

Thanks for the kind words . Last Deer season I hunted alone , my hunting buddy was sick . Hope he can make it this fall . We have had lots of fun over the years . Plus he's a better cook than I am .

That's one heck of a good looking mount Rowdy - sure puts my 2013 board to shame......sorry for the poor quality - taken with a cheap flip-phone...

Congrats one your trophy!

Thanks for the kind words . Looks like you have a nice collection there yourself . As always I hope to kill a Bigger Buck next season .

I have a short Rifle in 44wcf .Plan on getting it out and shooting , after Turkey season ends this weekend . Will try Ground Hogs and Coyotes .

That looks a lot like the 24" 45/60 Rowdy. Just got through watching your ammo test video from 09' with that rifle.

Looking good!

Plan on ground hog hunting tomorrow . I have my ammo ready and will be packing my Pietta in 44wcf .

A few of my favorite 44wcf's . And my John Wayne rig from El Paso Saddlery , I love this rig .

I got my vacation for Deer season this fall . Plan on Hunting for the week . Will eat good that week as always . Hope I can find the Big brother to the Buck I killed last year .

Looking forward to this fall myself. Everything is lined up except the deer and the rifle I shoot it with. I'm thinking of my vintage 45-70 Model 1886, but I have a couple other ancient Winchesters that haven't had a turn yet either. I sure enjoyed hunting with my '73 though. I plan to take it to the range on Monday and blow the dust out of the bore.
