    *** Cowboy Boots ***

    I don't wear them often and never to hunt in but my favorite most comfortable boot has been Justin ostrich ropers.I've had Tony Lama calf skin and Dan Post calf skin but just like the Justins better.Perfect fit and no break in.

    A mystery pre-war 30-06 JP Sauer came home today

    I believe these had Oberndorf actions and the 44580 serial number is the Oberndorf Mauser serial number.I have one simular but is in 8x57 and the serial 1121 number dates it to 1899 as it is a transitional intermediate small ring action.

    Favorite animal hunt

    So far for me it has been buffalo but I see elephant and leopard in the near future so that may change. For non dangerous game hyena would be my favorite.
