I did not see this topic until now. Spent some time looking at the hills above Brunkow Cabin this evening. Love that area. This was in the Sunday Sierra Vista Herald.

Tom Horn, great movie with Steve McQueen as Tom Horn. Much of it filmed in Sonoita, long before there was a house on every ridge top.

Warren Earp, killed and buried in Willcox. Mattie Blaylock (Earp) was Wyatt’s common-law wife and often used the Earp name. She is buried in Pinal City AZ near present day Superior.

Berger VLDs Let Me Down - Suggestions???
Pine Donkey replied to rossislider's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Great Bull, glad you stuck with him! I have shot Berger bullets for many years. I have witnessed the VLD blowup too. A friend shot a coues 6 times in the boiler room and finally finished off with another gun. Spin is so critical on the Berger’s. Too often, guys will develop a “long range” load for their older gun with a slower twist rate. These may shoot, but the bullet performance is a crap shoot. In our distance guns we use Berger hybrids and have had great success but we are spinning them really fast. Also, luck has apparently been on our side. For elk at closer ranges I like the Nosler partitions. They hit hard and mushroom well. However, just can’t get them to fly as the ranges stretch out. -
Awesome, quick hunt! Congratulations!

East Tucson Gunsmith Recommendations

Kyle is awesome! -
Remember when you could go to the fair and pay to see a fat lady covered in tattoos? Now you can see it everyday at Wal-mart!

When you die you feel no pain, it's those around you who suffer. Being stupid works the same way.

Great write-up, thanks for sharing!

Sorry guys, 295 is all he scores. Good angle, good setup, sitting behind the bull and picture taken from a lower point on the hillside. I am not a professional scorer, but I am competent and run an honest tape. We spend a lot of time staging our animals for a good picture. Not trying to fool anyone, just wanting to have a picture that is as special as the kill.

Similar to this bull. 295
