A pretty nice 32" Axis deer shot on the YO Ranch in 1992 with a Custom Shop XP-100 in .308 Win. at about 125 yds. The YO had / has a lot of Axis deer, but the Brady Ranch near Indiantown Florida has an enormous herd of them, the largest herd in the U.S., which probably means the world: My only 6X6 Bull Elk, shot in 2006 at 80 yds. with a Special Build 9 inch FA .475 Linebaugh: Scimitar Horned Oryx, shot in 1991 with an XP-100 in .250 Savage. He required a close range finishing shot from a Security Six .357: Spanish Red Stag, shot in Spain's Iberian Mountains, hunting with Eduardo Araoz, also shown in the picture. Shot during the roar, with a Win. Mdl. 70 in .300 H&H at about 125 yards. Hunting during the roar is exciting and exhilarating: New Zealand Red Stag, shot on the North Island of N.Z. in the Wanganui area, at about 400 yards with a Weatherby Mk V in .300 Wby.: 4X4 Hill Country Whitetail shot on the YO on a Sportsmen Against Hunger hunt in 2004, with a Contender in .338 JDJ No. 2, a superb round for almost anything. Taken at about 113 yards: Another tall 4X4 taken at around 100 yards, on the same hunt, with a .338 JDJ No. 2: 4X4 Sika deer, known to whistle when alarmed … pretty cool deer. Taken on the run at about 55 yards with a 629 .44, mounted with an UltraDot: 3X3 Sika, taken just at Dusk with the same 629: Large Red Lechwe shot with a FA .454 in South Africa after a long stalk, and a longer job of tracking when the first shot didn't finish him. Shown with my daughter Julie:
