Rusty Kaiser |
RIFLE. Hmmm... now that's a beauty! Congrats to Pinedale resident and Wyoming native Rusty Kaiser who harvested this beauty in GENERAL Area 142. Like all great hunters, Rusty wouldn't disclose too much info, other than he was deep in the back country and he took the shot at about 175 yards. Rusty first spotted him at about 500 yards and was patient in getting a little closer, before firing the fatal shot with his .270. Thank you Rusty for sharing this fine muley with the rest of us. Again, congrats on a very nice harvest! |
