wyote trapper W Joined: Jan 2007 NW Wyoming	I hunted small game back in the 80's but I went full time for big game in 1990. I've taken deer, antelope, elk, bears, and moose with my handgun. I prefer to use 6 guns (5 shooter in a FA 454) but I also use some single shots a few times. I have no idea how many game animals I've taken. I wish I would have kept a hunting journal. My only regret is I've never taken an elk with my revolvers. Even though I try every year For every law thats passed, alittle freedom dies

Cold and snowy day, 245 yards. It’s not big game, but also enjoy taking a stroll through the hickory patch with my .22. Live each day as if it were your last. We know not at which hour it will come. Life is too short.Tell your loved ones each day how much you love them
