Night stalker we hear all the time how your a competition shooter and big game guide.....how come none of us has heard of you?

 

[Marlinman]

I have never heard of you? Would you like to meet me at the Texas State Shoot. That would be a good place for a meeting?

Arn't you a World Class gun builder? Please PM your shop Info. I am most interested in haveing a Long Range target rifle set up. Thx

Black bear at 290 yards with Colt Sauer 300 weatherby mag. Leupold 3x9 VIII

6X6 Elk at 478 yards with Colt Sauer 300 Weatherby mag. Leupold 3x9 VIII

These are my longest shots. I have taken many deer (mule and whitetail) and other Elk, but under a 100 yards.

Better hope gello doesn't see your rug there

 

[Marlinman]

Well yes lopes are BIG game lol, an 500 yrds is no chip shot either thats good shootin there.

Especially not on something roughly 100-125 lbs max and can run 70 mph. Has the best vision of any land mammal and AWESOME hearing and smell capabilities

Speakin of running, I had a 73 yr old man stop out here one day an just start talkin like we were long lost pals, in short I offered him a place to hunt antelope due to his limitations, an health that was 4yrs ago an we hunt antalope every yr now together, I watched him this yr make a dead running shot on a buck lope at 140+ yrds, an I mean full out afterburners on run, he raised his old 243 led the buck an wam one of the best single shot kills I have ever watched. There was a dead cottonwood by where the goat was at when he shot an it was 143 yrds. What a shot.

Ya this past year an old man iv met a couple times out in Wyoming shot one running at 275 w his 1963 model 70 270 win. It was a hell of a shot.....then again its that one gun man thing. Iv seen him kill 15 goats and call EVERY shot except that one. He broke its front shoulder and said he was trying to hit its neck. I still was impressed

 

[Marlinman]

You have meet him more than a couple times if u saw him kill 15 goats: cornfused or

Three goats per trip. So I guess iv seen him all 5 times iv beem out there lope hunting

 

[Marlinman]

110 yards measured, it was a decent white tail doe. The rifle was overkill, a nice Browning A-bolt with a BOSS system, bedded yada yada yada flavored in .300 win mag luepold mark 4 on top, not sure the power. Not my rifle, one if daddy's.

Everything else has been 100 yards and under.

The pic is a cart behind an atv.

Nice doe.....did you shoot her back legs off mon ami?

 

[Marlinman]

No, look closer. Bad pic.

Looks like a neck shot but still the back legs are jacked up....well that one for sure is.

 

[Marlinman]

3 per trip??? Only allowed 1 tag, you guys forget that or???

One buck and two does. I know people around here that get drawn for the buck tag then buy 2-3 doe tags when they get out there ao they can keep hunting

 

[Marlinman]

Back leg didn't get touched. Spine shot. Bullet never came out. I have it in my safe.

What'd you do then? Cut the back legs off?

 

[Marlinman]

The lottery goes buck tags 1 only, an if no residents purchase the leftover doe tags then out of state can buy them, but at 286$ a tag why would you, for a doe antelope. Thats why I asked

We have paid $30 apiece for em. That's at the walmart in casper. The old man lives out there though.

 

[Marlinman]

There ain't nothing wrong with the damn legs man. They have blood in them from field dressing. Split the pelvic bone gutted and picked the doe up to drain. What are you looking at? You drunk? The legs are stretched out into the corner. That's a 4x6 trailer. That doe was big.

There legs. Same doe. Hanging from legs.

I'm lookin at the top leg on the back and it looks like its been snapped off. The other one is tucked under her

 

[Marlinman]

You didnt pay that. No res is 286$ for buck tag, an 48$ leftover doe if they have them which some units they do an some they dont.

Ya we paid $286 for the buck tags. I was thinkin my uncle paid $30 for our doe tags. Guess I was wrong. Iv never paid for any other tags except my buck tags.

 

[Marlinman]

Yup. Speed goats are my favourite hunt and when those surplus tags are announced I jump on it. Does are small but make for great burger, stew meat and jerky.

I like hunting them and elk the best I think.

 

[Marlinman]

I hate paying that 286$ but cant not hunt a speed goat in wy

Ya its damn sure speed goat central......then again from what iv seen there's bunches of em in New Mex too

 

[Marlinman]

Elk#1, mule deer#2, Aoudads#3, antelope an last but not least white tails

Iv hunted mulies 2 times...killed one my last time but had a blast both times. Audads I'm looking forward to. Whitetails are too easy anymore......around herevthey are anyways

 

[Marlinman]

Drought has taken its toll on fawns last yr but the herds are doin good in spite of that. An the numbers are strong.

Glad to hear that....I want to arrow one so bad its not funny

 

[Marlinman]

If u want a fast pased action packed crawling through rattle snakes an cactus the hunt a oryx here ,they are free range implants from the 60's an have proved nm is perfect for them. They are tuff tuff tuff to hunt. Its hot dry an dirty huntin at its best. Look them up NM has free range ibex as well.

Ya they are on my list of varmints to whack. As is an ellan.

 

[Marlinman]

This is my 2012 bull what a hunt.

That's badass mon ami!!!!! What did you whack that one w?
