Gussy's Buff Video

[Mike]

We made 4-5 approaches and several moves each time before one wanted his picture taken. The herd was jumpy and moved when they figured we had bad intentions. Man those animals can run fast!! Nice warm day with a slight cross wind.

I fired 2 foulers early in the morning and then we went out. It was nearly 3 hours later when we finally got a clear shot on a young bull. I did hurry the shot slightly as I was worried about him mixing back in and got too much front sight up, which caused the high hit. On the good side, nearly no meat lost!!

Same 45-90 I used last year with the same open sights. The same load too, Old E powder, 90 gr. with a 30-1 Government bullet out of a Lyman mold.
I had a scope on it here at home but finally decided I could see better with the copper front sight and open rear. The scope is back on and I will use it for elk next week and maybe deer tomorrow! The scope picture wasn't as good on the black Buff hide as it will be on deer or elk and I have to have positive ID on the horn size to shoot either.

The meats in the freezer and steaks are on tonight with a glass of wine!!

Hey Gussy, Please let me be a pest. Which grade of Olde Eynsford did you use? Also, the "Government" bullet I'm guessing is the 500 grain #457125. Is that right? I must ask because the 400 (advertised as 385) grain #457124 is also a Government bullet. We want to know the truth, you know. Good doin's again, and Shoot sharp, Mike

Ol E was 1 1/2 and yes, the heavy Gov bullet.

Thanks Gussy, that fills in the corners. Good doin's, Mike
