A Wyoming hunt
Old friend was visiting from out of state, we decided to go the desert for some prairie dogs. Didn't find a whole lot, in two days of shooting we each got about 75 shots which was enough to keep us interested. PD population has still only recovered maybe 40% of the area they covered before the last plague infestation of about 5-6 years ago. Anyway, a good time was had by all..

I was shooting a Savage model 23D , .22 Hornet and a CZ 527, .22 Hornet. I like the old Savage better.Mainehunter wrote:What we're you using for firearms? Beautiful country out there!

Friend had a Mauser 98, 22-250, nice old rifle he built in gunsmith school decades ago, DST and a Weaver 8X scope with the exterior adjustments , I think they only made them for a bout a year back in the 50's.
Old geezers shooting old geezer's guns. Still fun.

Oregon Buttes? Looks kinda familier..but that high desert looks a lot like the high desert on our side of South Pass.. (Pinedale, Pigs Hiney ...er. ...Big Piney)..
This is plagiarized from someone else, but I love it!

It wasn't a choice.

"Looks nice and cool". That ain't the half of it. In a few weeks......by the end of November it can hit minus 30 Fahrenheit up in that high desert.

That sure beats most of what we have here in the East.
I see your shooting your "coolest old gun". I believe, like you, the rifle you use is just as important as the hunt or the match.----6
