Thanks for posting about your adventure TC and Bob.

Willmore and horses go together like PB and J. Beautiful pics, and 16 days out there sounds like a dream trip. Recently saw some pictures of a gorgeous bull moose out of the Willmore by some resident hunters. Wondering what class of bull Bob would find adequate on a hunt like that. 50”+?

Congrats on the wolf. Bob seems to have those toothy critters dialed!

Great choice and a black one to boot.

Hunting is a bit like a bike trip. The journey is part of the destination. Congrats on a great wolf. Are you loving the new rifle?

Thanks! And yes I am. KS did a great job on it, and it's light to carry. I put 100+ rounds down it dialing it in, and getting really confident with it. It is superbly accurate, trigger is wonderful. And the terminal results are impressive. The low recoil is a blessing on my arthritic shoulder, one of the deciding factors for that cartridge. I'm a real fan.

Looking after all those horses and mules would explain the weight loss.

Congrats TW-your wolf trumps all of my buddies rams for a trophy speaking to the sheer wildness of the Willmore (JMO).

And this is what AO is all about.

Thanks for sharing.

One day, I'll get into the willmore. If on horseback even better!
