What’s going on when one of these guys is doing this? The buck is scent marking the thistle with oils from his black cheek patch. This is the source of buck pronghorn’s redolent perfume. They also mark territories by scraping. Might show that photo later. Avoid getting this cheek oil on your hands, knife, meat, but get that hide off quickly to cool the carcass and you’ll have some of the most delectable venison in the world. #pronghorn #buck #horns #territorial #scentmarking #venison #freerangeprotein #useitorloseit #antelope #hunting #sustainableuse #ronspomeroutdoors

That’s not a silvery paint scheme on this Remington Custom and Swarovski scope. It’s September frost after a Dall’s sheep hunt bivouac in The Alaska Range above tree line. You don’t know how cold tundra can be until you’ve had it … https://buff.ly/30WzHPD

375 H&H running target test from about 35 yards. 1st shot in red determined I had a bit too much lead. Next three matched up about right, although my vertical varied a bit too much. Good practice that can be built upon as confidence grows. Increase distance and speed. FTW Safari Training.

135 years of outdoor writing came out of these guys, all with a bit of history with Petersen’s Hunting and Guns and Ammo mags. I turned down a chance to work under Craig Boddington in 1980. Didn’t want to put up with L. A. Kevin Steele was already there and became editor of G&A while I freelanced. We were all born a year apart in early 1950s. Craig’s the old man, Kevin the baby. We’re all still at it. #oldtimers #babyboomers #gunwriters #huntingwriters #petersenshunting #veterans #ronspomeroutdoors

That’s not a silvery paint scheme on this Remington Custom and Swarovski scope. It’s September frost after a Dall’s sheep hunt bivouac in The Alaska Range above tree line. You don’t know how cold tundra can be until you’ve had it suck the heat out of your hip bones for 8 hours. And those reflective emergency heat blankets? Misnomer. On the bright side, the 300 WSM and Z3 3-10x42 drilled a ram at 500 yards. Sheep meat warmed over a willow twig “fire” at 4,500 feet is a lot better than sleeping on the ground there. One wonders how the sheep can endure it. @remingtonarmscompany @swarovskioptik_hunting #dallsheep #dallsheephunting #bivouac #remingtoncustomshop #m700 #swarovskiscope #z3swarovski #300wsm #alaskarange #tundra #camping #frost
