Well….Took the old 1906 Winchester Model 94 out on Saturday to fill the freezer with Venison. Not 20 minutes in my stand and a nice tender doe wandered by. One shot with the 32 Special at a measured 114 yards / iron sights and she dropped like a sack of flour. 170g bullet at 1400fps did the job.
Been chasing a beautiful 10 pointer with amazing white rack for the last few days. His rack looks like it is electrified! But he won’t give me a shot everytime I see him.
Today we are stuck in the camp. (Stover, MO) Raining so hard the little stream that runs across the drive is flooded to a depth of about 4′ and running like the Colorado river! We might take the backhoe out and attempt to cross a bit later!
We got invited to a nice home cooked meal at the neighbors down the road, but unless we can cross the stream we’ll be eating leftovers!
Loving it!
Nice. I used a 1910 model 94 SRC carbine in .25-35 WCF to take a pretty decent 8 point on Sunday. Fell immediately from a shot at 60 yards.
The first day of my first hunt for blacktail in Oregon, I got a dandy that was 3rd in the Oregon Bluebook using Grandfather’s 1950 mod 94 carbine. Both now mounted on my wall.

Nice shot with a classic rifle. I hunted Monday with my original 1886 45-70 shipped in 1890. Alas, my hunting buddy dropped a big fat Whitetail doe, which required my tag. On the bright side, I now have 54 pounds of wild, lean, organic venison cut, wrapped and frozen in my freezer.
Well, I didn’t get the 10 pointer. But my two hunting buddies scored big time! I had the bottom deer in my sights, but I had my Thompson Contender pistol and it was 217yds away. I was in a tree stand in a 25mph wind and couldn’t keep it in the scope! I climbed down to try and stalk it but it moved into a small patch of woods that I didn’t want to access for fear of spooking it. Two hours later it emerged right in front og my buddy, Paul! Bang..hunt over!
There is always tomorrow!
