Once In A Lifetime Stud Buck

[shrapnel]

I got a nice double rifle in Cody last summer and spent a lot of time regulating it. Getting a double rifle to put bullets from 2 different barrels in the same spot takes time. The rifle is a nice old British hammer gun, and I had decent success with the regulation.

We went hunting for deer, nice deer, but I sure didn’t expect one this nice...

That's about what I'd expect with a double rifle! What caliber?

That’s a nice looking rifle how long are those barrels

Does the impish grin come with such a bullbuck of a gun?

You must be right around 9,000 feet, right? Everyone knows deer start to turn into elk around that elevation. Truly once in a lifetime - nice work!

I didn’t measure them and I am too tired to go upstairs and measure them. Maybe tomorrow...

Nice rifle and I think your buck's momma was doing a little species hopping.

There is a youtube video of Ivan Carter shooting an actual elk with a double rifle. I suspect not too many North American game animals are taken with such firearms.

He used to call me about reloading for those guns and how to make them shoot. Of course I helped him with that and gave him a few pointers about guiding clients...

I wish I shot it with a bow, I think I would make Pope and Young...

Didn't even have to long-arm it to make it look bigger.
