H-S Precision SPL in 270 WSM at work in Kazakhstan 13 years ago. Rugged workhorse has taken many elk, maral, roe deer, mule deer... But beat and battered so back to the shop for a tune up and new chambering. Should soon see what the H-S Precision team in Rapid City has done to it. #h-sprecision #270wsm #rifle #weaver #h-s #spl #huntingrifle #riflerebuild #ronspomeroutdoors #wsm #hunting #shooting

That was then. This is now. Mountain ringnecks. Finally bagged my first roosters on Dancing Springs Ranch. Wildest, wariest pheasants I’ve ever hunted. Flush at 100 yards and fly 200 feet up and over a sagebrush ridge. I’ve seen them at 6,000 feet. I’ve done 12 mile days in SD when in my 20s. That ain’t happening here or now! #wily #wary #ringneck #pheasant #pheasanthunting #pheasantsforever #rooster #dancingspringsranch #mountain #wild #kimberfirearms #sidebysideshotgun #ronspomeroutdoors #uplandhunting #birdhunting
