I was looking for this thread the other day, could not find it. ?? Had to post under Hunting. But it weren't no hunt. Just hunting for some peace of mind, and escape from the world.
Just a hike and exploring some other State Land that I'm not real familiar with. I chose to carry my TC "trapper", which has been smooth bored to .58" caliber. She packs a punch...on both ends. We have lots of moose, and I just don't trust them. They are not hunted, so they don't have much fear of humans. Don't want to shoot one, but I'm not going to let one stomp on me. Don't think any of those dinky little guns you guys are packing would do me much good. !!!!! No offense!!!
Of course I found the perfect rock for back rest, spread out my poncho and all my stuff, and cooked up lunch and coffee.
This State Land, further from my house than the other state land, although wooded, is kind of out in the plains and borders on ranching country, somebody has this herd of Tatonka near the State Land. This is just a few of them. It is also a bit hard to get to, through some gates and easements, (not marked, so it keeps much of the riff-raff out) and if I hadn't had my Jeep I would not have made it through the mud. As it was, I just got far enough to walk the rest of the way in.
The side-arm I chose to carry was the .54" Plains Pistol. This pic is from another thread/post, and at the State Land closer to home. But I wore the same wool pants. !!! Been having sub-zero temps here, but it's warmed up to above freezing, so end of the week I hope to spend the day in the woods again.
