Like fine detail in your taxidermy? Here’s some from a display @scifoundation Convention last week. SCI pours $millions into wildlife each year, but is also one of the busiest and most successful orgs. Protecting hunter rights. Join. It’s not just for the rich and famous. They’re just the branch that shells out most of the $! #sciconvention2020 #taxidermy #mounts #zebra #crocodile #hunting #ronspomeroutdoors #conservation #sustainablehunting #sustainableuse #stripes #huntervationist

Always fun visiting with the incomparable Kiwi John Scurr, a Guide’s guide and animated encyclopedia of New Zealand history and natural history. Might have to plan another hunt. 2021 anyone? #newzealandtravel #newzealand #newzealandhunting #redstaghunting #johnscurrhuntingtours #kiwilegend #fallowdeer #tahrhunting #tahrhunting #ronspomeroutdoors

Here’s a juxtaposition to my Cooper rifle photo. Plastic has neither the beauty nor soul of fine walnut. But if pretty is as pretty does, this Ultra Light Arms M20 in 284 Winchester is stunningly gorgeous. The first season I hunted with it: 11 shots, 10 animals. I gave mnt. goat an anchoring shot so it wouldn’t kick over a cliff. With scope, Talley rings, 3 Nosler 140-gr. Partitions aboard, the field-ready rig weighs just under 6 pounds. Groups 3” under 1.25” consistently. That’s been good enough to take everything engaged out to 411 yards, the farthest I’ve ever had to stretch it. Melvin Forbes created a legend with his innovative rifles. Durable, functional, minimal, balanced, deadly and a pure delight to carry. Recoil? Never bothered me or anyone who’s ever shot it. I generally used a Leupold Compact 2-7 or VX3 2.5-8x36 with it. This Nikon has good optical quality, but is 3 or 4 ounces heavier. #ultralightarmsm20 #ultralightarms #ultralightrifle #mountainrifle #fiberglassstocks @talley_rings #nikonscope #huntingrifle #zeisshunting #lowaboots #284win #284winchester #petrifle #favoriterifle #ronspomeroutdoors

Probably the most gorgeous rifle I’ve ever held. A Cooper M51. And to think they shoot as good as they look. My b-day is coming up. Maybe y’all could take up a collection... I’d like @jessekaufmanengraving to do the metalwork. #rifle #cooperfirearms #engraving #walnut #woodstock #leupoldoptics #marbledwalnut #beauty #craftsmanship #ronspomeroutdoors
