Re: This Year's Young Gun
Cabelas held their Big Buck Contest in Naniamo yesterday.
And a rather fitting Finale for this tale occurred...
The Young Gun won Best Buck Overall and Youth once again!
And picked up another fine set of binoculars for doing so!
Must have shaken my hand fifteen times! LOL!
His biggest concern was getting me to agree to take him hunting again this coming fall.
Tried to string him along, but was giggling so hard it was of no use!
Of course my Young Friend!
Would not miss it for the world!!
Cheers!

You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.

Re: This Year's Young Gun
A long awaited day has arrived:
The Young Gun doesn't know yet.
But I'll post a pix when he does...

Re: This Year's Young Gun
DAAAANNNNGGGGGG!!!!!! It's hard to believe that's a Blacktail....and what a Blacktail! I must admit, I'm a complete 'taxidermy mount' snob but that mount is perfect. Beautiful job Matt. If I ever get anything else to mount I will be calling for the number of your taxidermist.

Re: This Year's Young Gun
Bit of an epilogue to that story...
Since then the Young Gun has been shooting a lot.
He is damned good with both rifles and scatterguns.
In fact he quite often shows many up that are much older / more experienced than he when at the range.
And of course is itching to get hunting for another wall hanger...
Around a year ago the True North Forum held a raffle for a custom 6.5 x 55 Mauser 96.
By some odd stroke of luck, I won it.
Been toying with just what to do with it ever since.
Today I made that decision, and Paid It Forward:
The look on his face says it all...
The cast will be off his leg early next week.
He has promised to get practiced and be ready for when we roll up-Island.
His Pa & I are scheming...
There will be more to the tale soon methinks...
'Tis a very fine day to be alive!!
Cheers,
Nog

Re: This Year's Young Gun
Mighty nice Matt, mighty nice indeed! Sounds like the young man will get good use out of her, and you get to hunt with him, win / win.
It’s not the way you rock, it’s the way that you roll!
Re: This Year's Young Gun
That smile on his face is priceless! Awesome Mat!
Some people just like stepping on rakes
Re: This Year's Young Gun
Your a stand up guy Matt, good for you. He'll appreciate that for a lifetime
