Power outage due to heavy snowfall resulted in the office being shut down... perfect day to go chase mulies.

After dragging my A$$ through 83 cm (33 inches) of snow up some super steep ground all day I made it back to the truck with a little daylight to spare.

After less than 1 km of driving I came upon this big male as he tried to make his way up a steep hillside a little over 250yds but was having a heck of a time in the deep snow.... so I took a load off his mind with a quick shot from the 280AI and 140gr TSX @ 3167fps. A little grunting and groaning through the nut deep snow, and he was in the truck!

Hmm..
apparently you didn't have any expansion or penetration issues.;)

Nice going...

Nope.... he went straight down:dancingbanana:

He was headed straight away, and the bullet went in through his azz cheek, traversed the body cavity, and smashed the front shoulder... I found it in the neck actually (29" of penetration best I could measure), a lot of broken bone!

BTW... dropped by Bartell's tonight to show off the dawg, and mentioned the Feb dog killin' spree you and I had discussed some time back. He figured it sounds like a good idea ...

I still have another week of vacation for 2006 that I don't think I will be able to use...Feb I shoudl have some time:) And snce my truck runs on veg oil now, the cost will be cheap!:dancingbanana:
 
If he messed with MY TIMMY'S he'd be in the same condition! :mad:

Dang predators should stick to hunting cute little rabbits and fawns if they want to be considered harmless "puppies"... :p :cool:

Nice Job!
 
That is a nice wolf Ackley.... another trophy for sure.
I am more impressed with those TSX all the time.
Is that a Muzzle break on that nice rifle ... or just a bit of tape?
 
nice job:dancingbanana: That wolf is a big SOB , i am guessing that your barrel is a 26 inch tube . what was the measurement on that wolf

Bullet testing:D

I have one in my trophy room that I had tanned.... the rest I have been selling.

I whack wolves when I see'em, where I see'em (provided its legal).

Duct tape (couldn't find my electricians tape, and Bartell wouldn't part with one of his custom special order condoms:D ).

Yup, the TSX is an impressive bullet for sure.

Just figured it out... whacked 11 critters with a single box of 140gr TSX (and still have 3 left for the rest of the season):dancingbanana:
