Hunting Rockies

The Supreme Commander and I went on a picnic in Cedar Canyon. While there we just watched with binoculars a large volcanic rock pile for rockchucks to come out. When the Supreme Commander was quiet enough, some started coming out to sun themselves on the warm afternoon. She got all excited and wanted me to shoot one. I picked a fairly large old boy and had to make a brain shot to stop him from going back down his cave. He had to be stopped instantly or he would get back down in the rocks. I was only shooting a .22 magnum at a distance of about 104 yards. I got lucky and nailed him on the first shot. He just slumped over and didn't move an inch. I have lots of respect for the Savage M93 .22 magnum. It is accurate and hits plenty hard within 150 yards or so on smaller varmints.

AFRICA TRIP

Hola Amigos,
I wanted to show you some photos from my recent 11 day trip to Namibia in the southern end of Africa. I really had a great time and I feel lucky to have succeed as well as I did. I used a Ruger KM77R II in .338 Win Mag caliber to harvest all these animals. I used a Barnes 225 gr. Triple-Shock bullets with good success. Oryx (Gemsbuck) seemed the hardest to put down of all the animals I hunted. The animals were shot at distances from 150 to 397 yards. All bullets completely passed through the animals except for the Oryx, one bullet was lodged against the skin on the far side. All animals were dispatched with one shot except the Oryx, it took two shots in the chest at about 350 yards.
