Sorry I haven't been on Trapperman for awhile, not enough hours in the day. We haven't forgot you,
This is a picture of Albert Dew with a buck he shot East of Comins in 1894, following is a picture of Tanner Lunning, great great grandson of Albert Dew with an 8 point he shot 1/2 mile West of the Rousseau Bar on November 15, 2019 with the same rifle, a Winchester Model 1876 , 45 60 caliber.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Great gun and story That will live in your grandson's memory for eve .And they want to say all hunters are just red necks that want to kill something .Your story about the history is much ,more in line with most people that truly love the outdoors

Isn't that the same rifle that Tom Horn used in his attempt to control cattle rustling in Wyoming?

Wow, that old buck is a giant. They sure don't make them like that in the Comins area anymore!

Congratulations to the new hunter carrying on the tradition with the old rifle!

When arrested Tom had a 1984 Winchester 30/30 but had a 45/60 Bullet in his pocket, the shooting is still hotly contested some saying he did others that he didn’t

Now there are some making, and making a good argument that there were actually 2 shooters
