“Wearing cotton and with one in the chamber I struck out for the mountain.”


My favorite line of the whole story, great work Nameless.

Every time i read the word "rotundness" I giggle out loud.
Congrats.

Damn, a man after my own cake, but get your own, I'm eating this one. Great story, and great firearm. Thanks for sharing.

Nice! Congrats on a fine hunt, Alexander Supertramp!

I could have told you that sort of exertion would lead to nothing but illness. Glad you salvaged day 4. What’s the plan for day5?

It’s a model 91/59 Moisin Nagant. Ugly and indestructible. I put peep sights on it a few years back. It’s a fun gun.

Vasily Zaytsev would be proud. I remember when I was a kid you could get a case of Mosin Nagants or SKS for about $300 then now they run about that each.

Ha! I love it. One of my favorite threads in a while.

Hope the flu is firmly in the rear view mirror and you'll be making jerky soon.

Congrats, great write up!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Got up early to chase elk but I’m still not right. Ended up drinking coffee and BSing with the wife till it was time to take the kids to school. Then took the pup bird hunting in a snowstorm. Popped some huns up but missed the shot.

Despite the illness, a pretty good weekend .

I talked to my dad today, who gave me that Moisin when I turned 18. He said he thought he got it out of Shotgun News for $89 or something like that.

Some folks don’t like mule deer, and I get it. I turn most of mine to jerky. But I marinated those tenderloins for 24 hours in a 50/50 mix of Italian dressing and rasberry walnut vinaigrette. Then grilled it. Tender as could be.My kids barely left any for me

 

[Sytes]

Oh heck ya! Mouth watering!

Great post!!
Original...and appreciated.
Thanks for the about-face angle.

Archived. As proof that cotton does not kill, guns and alcohol do mix, and real hunters carry hot.

 

[Southern Elk]

Nice job, Bret! I know your time in the woods has been limited this year. Glad you put some meat in the freezer. Hopefully there’s an elk out there with your name on it.

 

[Tradewind]

oops, double hit

 

[Tradewind]

Ha, Love the Nagant with open sights, no less. I've got a box of those bullets.
It doesn't get any more basic than that. well done :hump:

This actually might be my favorite hunt post of all time here. Excellent!
