I bought this Colt last year and wanted to get my moose with it this fall, but that didn't happen. I did take it hunting for a doe whitetail deer and sneaked up within 100 yards and got here with a well placed 300 grain 50 caliber bullet. The old gun still can and does take game. Who knows what else it shot in it's previous years...





I never considered myself a failure...I started out at the bottom and happen to like it here!

So very cool! Congrates! It's a shame all your other hunting pic's have disappeared, I really enjoyed looking at them.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Outstanding!  It's really nice to see the treasures you locate and return to use.

Testing it on dangerous game before hunting season...

Windage and elevation is the key to long range hunting of dangerous game! Fast as those critters move, had to be minimum 200 yard shot to be safe!  ;) ;D Nice!

It appears to at least have the minimal stopping power needed for that beast. (smiley face goes here)

Wow! Congratulations! Hunting is so entertaining and interesting. Also, it is one of my hobbies now. When I was a child, my father sometimes took me with him hunting. In the beginning, I was afraid of the gun and gunfire. When I got older, my dad instructed me how to use the gun and hunt. Unfortunately, I had an accident once and was afraid of hunting because of the trauma. It had passed 3 years before I held a gun again. My father discovered a store with everything you need in the forest at that time. He also got a 50% discount coupon from https://hoopladoopla.com/category/hunting-fishing. We visited it, bought some stuff, and went hunting again. My dad recommends that store because of the high-quality products and the site because they have generous discounts for everything.
