Patagonia region, near the city of San Martín de los Andes in 1997.

The rifle a Ruger KM77RSP in .300WinMag, 180 gr Nosler Partition. Leupold Vari X III 3.5-10x50 AO

The prey, a nice ( not really trophy grade ) Red Stag.

It was a rare ocassion with almost no wind ( very strage situation ).

The distance was about 550 yards, on a mountain side.

One shot, and he went down like being struck with a celestial hammer.

Shot right to the shoulder, where it belongs, with a though bullet that smacked bone with authority and perfect performance.

Second time, in 2003, near the beautiful city of Bariloche.

Same rifle, same scope, but now wiht a nice load of 180gr CT FailSafe.

Now was the time for a wild hog who was rovering around, when I was searching the mountains for an elusive Red Stag.

Distance about 480 yards.

The guide was amazed at the shot ( free hand standing ) also I was

That mountain hog took the shot, turn off the lights and said goodbye to all.
