Guns in the wild (pics)
 

When I'm out hunting I'm always watching for a good photo opportunity. Mostly stump, fence post, rock pictures etc just somewhere to set the gun to get a nice photo. I often grab a picture of the gun laying across the game I took as well if I happen to get something.

If anyone else has that habit share them here. I'll keep adding to the thread.

First one is a Savage model 99 in .375 Winchester. It has an el cheapo older Simmons 3-9 scope on it for now. But it's clear and holds zero, I will upgrade that eventually and put the Simmons on a .22 probably. This is my new to me Ohio rifle. I haven't shot a deer with it yet. Maybe tomorrow I'll get one.

it's on a stump in a property I like to call the jungle. It's think like you see with very few access trails. Full of deer but hard to hunt.

Save model 99 here. We went to Florida back in September for hogs. This was in the AM before heading out, getting stuff ready for the day.

This is an April 1954 Remington 760 in .300 Savage.

Time to bump this thread up. Hunting seasons are kicking off. When you're out and about snap a picture of what you're carrying!

-Jake

That's some pretty looking country nomercy. What state is that in?

Took the kids and a .410 on a walk today. We saw two squirrels far off. But couldn't get in close enough.




Did manage to kill about 600 mosquitos.

-Jake

Did you check the regs? Seems mighty high and you may have been over the limit.

It's ok, I used my mom and Grandma's tag. :busted:

-Jake

Losing one always sucks.

My custom HK P7 9mm pistol...

And a Mossberg 500 20 gauge with a Bushnell elite 3500 3-9.

Couple of slug guns beside sand creek. At the Camp James a. Garfield military base hunt in North East Ohio.





-Jake

None for me. My guns aren't pretty - they're all black synthetic stock.

While I enjoy wood. Synthetics certainly have their place.

This R700 in .30-06 makes every hunting trip I go on as a backup at least. And often gets taken out if I get real serious about getting something.








Came as a gift from my grandpa, who took his biggest buck with it in 2000. Since it goes as a back up several other family members and friends have taken game with it as well.




I like all guns. Snap a picture next time you're out.

My 280AI build

This is a spike I took a couple of years ago with my hand me down 33 caliber Winchester made in 1902.

Spent some time trying to stalk and drive pigs in freezing rain last month on some public land down in OK. Didn’t work out for us, but killing wasn’t the only measure of success for our trip. Didn’t have my camera out much since we hoofed so much, but I did grab this one while I was posted in front of a drive. One of my AR’s, this one in 6.8, a Title 1 because I was too lazy to send my 5320.20 before departing.
