Going Davy Crockett style. Semi live

Recommended Posts

Well more Jeremiah Johnson.  Hunting the legendary unit 4b south.  Decided to go with my renegade for s and g. (I will have have my scoped muzzy as a back up if I get my butt handed to me)  haven't stepped foot in the unit in several years but my brother has been sending me pics of bucks he has seen on his way to work. Actually I have only hunted it two mornings with my bow several years ago.

my goal is simple, I have a friendly competition with my nephew so I want a buck 1/100th of an inch bigger than his last day buck that he took at a million yards with his 300prc a couple of weeks ago.

I did some ballistic testing today with both rifles.  

135 yards with a .54 cal round ball. I am learning fast the difference for point of aim between first, second, and third shots.

219 yards with my scoped muzzy. Of all the animals I've taken in AZ (30+) I have yet to shoot one this far.  So I should be good.

Started my meal prep this morning. Last piece of bison and lion getting smoked this morning. The scrap meat from the dotted calf elk will be turned into Machaca

We're cut from the same cloth. Same rifle you had the cleaning jag in?

I may break out the .54 TC Hawkens later this month for wt.

Good luck

Good luck dude! You need to do another semi live thread!

Agreed, that was an amazing thread! Also, how are you on your last bit of Bison... wasn't that a year ago? Good luck.. can't wait for this to unfold.

Bison and strip were a couple of years ago.  Kevin will attest to this, when you kill a bison you have alot of friends that you didn't know you had.  

Come to think of it my late season archery hunt where I shot the lion in the face was that year also.  I found a spot with about 40 bulls in one field.

Here we go. Other than my morning constitional at Molino basin. This is the first time I set foot in this unit in years.  A couple of hunters decked out in the latest hunting fashion beat me to my escouted spot so I'm improvising
