Deer - lets see em

Which Ruger is that? Kinda looks like a big cartridge, which makes sense where you're hunting.

Regards, Guy

It’s a Ruger Guide Gun in .375 Ruger. It has more energy and velocity (w/ a shorter barrel) than a H&H .375 (w/ a longer barrel). It’s a very short, handy, durable gun with a hell of a lot of knock-down. Not to mention louder than hell too. It’s a great gun when you’re hunting in country that has a lot of Teddy Bears that can way over 1,200 pounds.

Connected with this one a couple nights ago. My best bow buck. His right brow tine is pushed down flat against his head. Public land in Nebraska.

I figured it might be the 375 Ruger. When I first saw the Ruger Guide Gun in 375 I thought "that's one heck of a rifle." I hope it keeps working out well for you - and yes - I understand about the big bears.

Lil’ Bob (MT) and Lil’ Rock (WA). 2 hunting goals were met this year due to 2 knee reconstructions on my left knee over the last 6 months. Kill the first legal buck I saw in WA, and kill a 4 point in MT. Check and check.

2021 early season AZ Coues. Tough hunt, but I was able to dig a nice little buck out of the thorns . It was a great chance to catch up with some good folks also!

Wow, here are a couple of small racks we are currently driving home with.

My youngest sons buck today. I’m sure he wishes he was bigger, but hey, he is happy. He has to get back to a pregnant wife and work. It’s been a great hunt thus far.

CO Opening day buck on a Hail Mary pass right at sunset. Had a hell of a morning with all kinds of things going wrong. Last minute plan at 4pm paid off, shooting the biggest deer of my life, by far, at sunset. Got back to the truck around ten.

Son filled his Wyo deer tag with 20 minutes left in the season. He is pleased.

I got a Halloween buck in New Mexico this weekend with my CVA Optima muzzleloader. He made me crawl 50+ yds across open country to get into range.
