My 10 year son, got this 225lb male. One shot with a Marlin 357 using a 158 gr XTP hand load .

Congrats!

Did you recover the bullet? Velocity?

I only ask as my Rossi m92 shoots the 158gr xtp very well.

What they said. The photos are great, too. Starkly beautiful landscape.

Ditto
Thank you for sharing

Taken the last day of firearms season with a hand loaded .357 158gr xtp.

Taken today. First kill with this muzzleloader, which was built from a kit by my dad a couple years ago.

I shot a doe with my AR today using 62 grain Speer Gold Dots. This is the first deer I've ever shot not with my Ruger No.1 in .270 Winchester. The deer was standing at ~130 yards. The bullet entered the left side of the rib cage (farther back than I intended) and stopped just under the hide on the her right side. The deer ran about 80 yards over the crest of the hill and collapsed a few yards inside the wood line. I need to work more on my rifle skills if I'm going to hunt with the AR. The smaller caliber just doesn't give me as much room for error.

Last September, my hunting partner Ross and I traveled to Greenland for a muskox/caribou hunt with Lings Hunting Greenland.

This has always been my dream, to hunt in an amazing location under the expertise of a local guide

Is this a turnkey type operation? As in they handle all local transportation, ticketing, logistics, hunt licenses and harvesting, etc.? You only need to arrive on time and with all your gear?

Do you know if most of Ling's customers are european or from the US? How complicated would it have been to bring your own rifles and ammo into Greenland if you really wanted to (I assume it is easier for an EU citizen to do this but might be wrong)?

Is the total cost the cost regardless of whether your hunt is actually successful?

Answers in red.

Yes. You fly into Kangerlussuaq, they meet you and handle everything.

Not sure about the split Euro vs. US. Apparently not difficult bringing your rifle.
Is the total cost the cost regardless of whether your hunt is actually successful? I don’t know. Their success rate is very high. Best to call them.

My 2nd time chukar hunting ever. I have a good friend who lives in a great area for it and owns German Shorthair Pointers. They end up covering about 5x the distance we do. Climbing and descending the steep terrain is brutal as is the side hilling. Chukar's are quite difficult to hunt, even with the dogs. He got the bird with his nice lightweight CZ 20 gauge over/under. I was hauling a heavy 870 express in 12ga all day.

The VA archery opener came and went, and I was expecting the usual result of such nonsense endeavors. Maybe Karma is a thing after all cause I don’t know how else to explain this shit…….after years of logging time in the woods with results that are not consistent with the amount of time and effort expended, Christmas came early for me, and I’m calling it for the year unless I get asked to help cull some does in the late season……
