Hunting & Fishing Pronghorn

[T J]

That was a really fun and challenging hunt with the 1903, I limited myself to a 125 yard shot or closer since I was using cast bullets at roughly 30-30 velocity and I am a spot and stalk hunter. I have a M1 Garand and am going back and forth between the M1 and my 7-30 Waters contender for this years hunt. I haven't killed anything with the Garand but on the same note I haven't killed a big game animal with a handgun (other than finishing shots at point blank).

Brother, if I had an '03 like that, i'd have to revert to spot & stock a time or two myself I've always had a soft spot form them for some reason.

Got to hand it to a guy who uses US vintage military rifle for hunting. Not on antelope but I plan on using my 30-40 Krag for deer. For elk I'm using my M1903a4. But I think I'll switch the scope. My Weaver K 2.5 I have on it now is not sealed. I'm afraid if it snows, it'll fog up. Berger 180s VLD (hunting) bullets shoot real good in that rifle.

Hope to see pictures of your Garand taking antelope.

Saw some monsters yesterday morning. Going to try to actually zip one Sunday AM. In the meantime, here's some scenery from the great state of Idaho.
