Primitive Archer build rifle strikes again
« on: March 21, 2021, 10:19:06 pm »
I just got back from Texas on an Axis deer and turkey hunt with the Early Virginia rifle that I did the build article about in the magazine a few years ago. Had several stalks on Axis deer but now what I was looking for. But I did have an amazing hunt on a great Rio Gobbler that worked like a turkey should. He answered my call from about as far away as I could hear him and came in like a pro. dropped him with a 40 yard shot through both wing butts and breaking him down for good on the shot. 23 Lbs with 1 1/2 spurs and 9'' beard. This rifle has taken two turkeys and two hogs!

Impressive Mr Mike.

Nothing like making a kill with a gun you built, I have come close with my fowler but never closed the deal.

Got a few surgery recovery issues this season so the birds are safe.
