Sneaking up on a pronghorn, at least into handgun range is a challenge.
They are some wary critters.
Low crawling up on them and counting coup with my camera and an iron sighted .44 is something I may have done once or twice in the past...

I think the challenge of the stalk is the most fun.
:cool:
And you don’t have to field-dress the images that you took.Quote:

One word of advice for anyone wanting to try sneaking up on speedgoats, deer, or anything else in the wild, wild west.Quote:

Most the time it has been a spur of the moment "Hey let's go play cowboys and critters", but it only takes one or two times picking stuff out of your hands before you remember to wear gloves.
That was a skull we found on a walk last nightQuote:

My plan is to make the whole thing into salami.Quote:

Stalking with just a camera in hand is good practice for the real deal.
Gloves do help with the hands. I've picked plenty of thorns, rocks, and cactus spines out of myself, sometimes from not looking where I was sitting down to glass, or assuming a fast and hasty shooting position. Elbows, knees, rear ends... not just hands.Quote:

I picked up a Husqvarna hatchet a while back but I have not had the opportunity to use it in the same manner as I have used the Carpenter's Axe.

I have the hatchet, but it's handle is too short for me to use comfortably.
Yep, I think it is purely going to be used for kindling, and backpacking type duties, as well as hikes where weight is a factor.Quote:

I have a Husky hatchet too and have found it a great value
I found this video, or rather it found me. I was searching for hatchets a couple of days ago and it showed up on YT for me. It must be magic!

After that I moved back to 50 yards and kept 80% or better, I didn't really count, on a propane tank.
Love that mountain gun. Tell me about the sights you have on that one?Quote:
